Intergrateds: BAT's VK-300X /SE or Simaudio i-7

Thanks. I'll check that piece out.

I had the VK-300X/SE. Depending on your tastes and system it may be just what you want. For me & my system, the Bat was strong on detail but a little bit short on musicality. I have since thought that if I had gotten the tube version but not the supertube version I might have been where I wanted to be. Good luck.

Hi Jeff.
So, you didn't really like the supertube version?
One of the things that drew my attention to the BAT intergrated unit ...was that it had a tube pre. and a solid state amp. built-in.
I had heard that the "SE" supertube version was alot better than the non "SE" version.
Do you still have that piece?
Thanks.

Sally - Sold it. Dislike is too strong, I think it is a good unit, I just wanted something that leaned a little bit more toward musicality. Another person with different room/ speakers/personal taste/ etc. might like the SE better.

Hi Jeff.
I'm thinking that I could get a good tubed CD player to round off any rough edges of the VK-300i. The only thing is the BAT has a 5 year warranty and the Moon i-7 has a 10yr. What are your thoughts?
Thanks.Sally
