BAT VK52SE or REX vs VK51SE

I've heard a report that the Rex is absolutely stunning, if you can afford it.
I'm still waiting on a VK-32SE to demo. It was ordered almost two months ago!

Did you see the Postive Feedback review on the VK-52SE?

No, and I can't find it on the web. Do you have a link?

I did get a chance to demo the VK-32SE in my home system. I would say it was different from the 31/51SE series that I have owned, but not better, IMHO. It was lusher and sweeter, but not as dynamic or powerful. Which one would prefer would depend on their system/tastes.
I also had the opportunity to hear a VK-52SE at a dealer, and felt the same way. Just my $0.02.
FWIW, I still haven't heard the REX yet though.

Cheers,

Thanks for the link John. It looks like the Good Doctor was very impressed with the VK-52SE.
It is a great preamp, and as you say, there are a lot of great preamps out there.

Cheers,
John
