rowland capri, bat vk3i or vtl 2.5 ?

hi everybody !

i need your help buying a balanced preamp for my nuforce v2se amps.

my options on the european used market are:

bat vk3i 1.6k
vtl 2.5 ex dem 2.3k
rowland capri 1.6k

i am after great image solidity/density with excellent instrument separaton, earthy snappy sound - more on the textured dry side than lush. i do listen at low to moderate levels.

appreciate all your comments and recommendations.

do the preamp sections of cdp like aa capitole mkii, ear acute, esoteric sa 10 outperform the above listed preamps?

I guess that makes me 1 out of the other 4 posts for the Capri. I admit, I like it. There are better, but I have the full function version with MC/MM and it serves my needs well for the time being. You could do a lot worse.

Given that you are using Nuforce, why not the Atma-sphere MP-3? At its going used price this should also be on your list.
