Tungvu - The VK-55 uses 4 6SN7 tubes. There are none in the VK-55SE. The 6V6 is found in the 55SE, not the 55. Are you sure you got a 55SE?
BAT VK-32 tube preamp or stay with BAT VK-3ix
I have ordered a BAT VK-55SE. (I was using a solid state VK-220). I currently have a BAT VK-3ix which I really think is a nice preamp. I haven't been able to find much on the VK-32 and am curious to know if you think it would be a big step up from the VK-3ix. If I do this I'm probably looking at the non-SE version of the preamp as I kind of like the idea of the 6922's in the chain. (If you think the SE version is the better option plse say so).
Would prefer to not have recommendations for another brand of preamp as I really like BAT and the synergy I got with the VK-220 and 3-ix. I just got the urge to try a Tube amp for the first time, so any thoughts on the VK-32 or 32SE are appreciated.
Source is Ayre C-5xe and speakers = Harbeth M-30, and I don't have a local dealer where I can audition.
Thanks, Mark
