The VK-30SE is amazing with most solid state amps. It is dead quiet and wonderful to listen to.

I tried the vk30Se in my system which was Pass aleph 2's with the aleph P preamp, nordost red dawn & tranparent ref cabling, and virgo speakers. It really didn't work as well for the aleph 2's as the aleph P preamp. It took away a little resolution & but gave back a little tube magic. It was close enough to call it a draw. We swapped in the vt100m2 with the aleph P preamp. Sounds nice. Lastly, we we put in the VK30SE with the vt100m2. Un@#%#!@able improvement. The best sound I had ever heard in my room. The textures came out shimmering. The image was so three dimensional you felt you could get up and walk around it. The VK30SE seemed to really come into it's own with the tubed amplifier.
