I owned a pair of VK-60s and I found the 6C33b tubes to be a major problem. When they blew, they took out resistors and coupling capacitors and left the fuses (proper values) unharmed. I do agree with the fact that they were more musical than the VT-200, but I couldn't live with the problems of that many 6SN7s and single source power tubes.
Opinions: AR VT100 mkIII and BAT BK75SE amplifiers
I'd like hear opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of these amps. Also, any others I should audition/consider that would fit into the Gon used price range of these 2? Thanks!
