Tube for BAT Pre-amp

Can any one tell me how to set-up home-theater loop pass through in the bat pre-amp? thanks

Skip all the above and start saving for the SE upgrade. You will not believe the difference! The SE upgrade will transform and make a huge change to the sound.

Tube roll that baby! I have a VK30 too, and found the best results with Amperex tubes. Let me know if you want to try some, I have a bunch for sale. (Bugle Boy 6DJ8s from the 1950s). I think you find much better and more dramtic results with tube rolling than with any cable swapping, IMNSHO.

Goone, the VK30 is a somewhat laid back, warm sounding preamp. I'd suggest you use it for about a week and see if it breaks in to your tastes. If you still don't like the presentation you can swap power cords (I like Synergistic AC Master Coupler on my VK30) or even more importantly consider changing interconnects and/or speaker wire to dial in the sound to your tastes. You can always get in touch with Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio and he'll likley have some suggestions as to what tubes to use to get you the type of sound you're looking for.
