I myself have in home auditioned the 3i and the 50se. I preferred the 3i. I felt base control was outstanding with the 3i and the mid range was just there prefectly. Amp used was my vk200. I myself am looking to get a new pre amp. I was thinking of the vk30(not the 30se). I like all the improvements made like the user interface and standby mode. I have not listed to the vk30 cause I can't find one to audition. Does anyone out there know how the 3i and vk30 perform sound wise, side by side? Like I said I preferred the 3i to the 50se, but want the extra options the vk30 has, without losing the musicality of the 3i. Basically does the 3i sound like the 30????? Any help is appreciated. Thanx Pete
BAT VK-5i or VK30 ??
Hi folks!
Anybody who might have had compare them and would care to
express an opinion on this topic...I'm looking for richness and fullness in low midrange and I understood that both offers it in spades.
Should the cut in tube # and features from 5i to 30 be regarded as economy or technological advance from BAT?
Also, what would be a good price to pay for these models?
Million thanks!
