I have a VT100 mk3 and it images very well. I am using it with a Ref5, and feel in now way that it is limiting the performance of the preamp. I have owned a Ref110 previously, sold it, and really don't miss it with the mk3 around... It is completely silent in use, very transparent, and very "musical". I love it. Perhaps you need a retube on yours?
Audio Research VT 100 MK III vs. VS55
I just changed my VS55 to a VT 100 MK III(needed more power). Of course it was a general upgrade and at the same time it differed in a way I didnt expected. Listening to the VS55 it was very easy to the "se" and point out the instruments and vocals in space. The VT 100 dont behave in that manner. Instead the soundstage is much more open and wide and the vocals/instr are there but hard to say where. But still music presented in a fantastic way.
Is this a property of tha amp or an interaction effect? I use a ARC LS 17 and Eminent Technology LFT-8b speakers.
