Jumping in with both feet, VSM-MM


After listening to friends Merlins TSM-MM in my system and talking with Bobby, I have decided to jump in with both feet. I have ordered a pair of Merlin VSM-MM. The only concern I have is the BAM. My Atma-Sphere MP3 pre amp and M60 OTL amps are balanced. I want to run the BAM in the tape loop, which is unbalanced, so I can use the buffer stage in the pre map to drive the 35-foot innerconnects to the M60 amps.
Do you see any problems doing this?
Cheers

Bryan,

If I have this right, the BAM is close to the preamp, but the preamp output requires a 35 foot interconect to the OTL?

By the way, good choice, but please strongly consider the future. It might be perhaps best to get the VSM-MX as you are already dealing directly with Bobby.

Bryan,

Chris is right. Note #2 on the pricing page within the Merlin website just needs updating (i.e. removed). The choice of the T (tube) or S (solid state) "internal wiring harnesses" option WAS an option with the VSM-M.
