BAT VK50SE vs. ARC Ref 1


I truly wish I could sit $16000 worth of preamps in front of me for a little shootout, but my bank account wont allow. Anyone here who can compare the sonic difference between two of the best balanced preamps made by two of the best companies?

I plan to upgrade my CD player (not sure which player yet) and add a vinyl rig (probably a Linn12 or a MMF-7 w/ a Cube phono stage). My amp is a EAD Powermaster 2000 and my speakers are Revel Studios. I will use Nordost SPM XLR between components and, eventually, SPM speaker wires. I will biamp using addition channels from the same 5-channel amp.
