matching bat equipement?
I have both the 3i and a 50SE. Two most different flavors!50SE lacks the dark, tube euphonic of the 3i. 50SE truer to the source, 3i wonderful with bright speakers, such as my Infinity IRS Betas. 
Pioneer TX 9500 tuner/ Comments?
At $80 in very good shape this is a no brainer. I used a 9500II for many years, it and the 9500 are great bang for the buck. Buy it! 
BAT 5se VS 50se?
I've got a VK3i on a system with Infinity IRS Betas. The 3i has a dark, "tube euphonic" sound that matches well with the Betas tendency to be a tad bright. I've tried several ARC models on the same system that were many dollars more, but the VK3i ... 
BAT VK-D5 CD Player Needed New Transport Assembly
Don't let the "doom and gloom" folks bring you down.Anything with moving parts breaks. I had a VKD5 for 3 years, no problems. Sold it and bought a D5SE. Had that about a year now, no problems. If I were you I'd enjoy the music on your fine CD play...

How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound
I'd lose that Hafler preamp real quick for a BAT VK3i.Debsal's got it right, and I'll second the opinion.Beemer 
best used speaker for around 2500?
I'd like to know where the used 10t's are that are $2500?Someone had too much to drink or sumthin! beemer (his used 10t's are worth quite a bit more than $2500) 
An unscientific poll: How often are you happy?
I'm blessed to have 2 systems and a good woman who understands audiophilia. Both systems each about 40-45K at retail.....yes I do have it bad!All in all I'm happy with both systems all the time, they both do well with a good source. Those are the ... 
Run Balanced and RCA at the same time?
Hello RWD:The RS1x crossover box is required for the proper operation of the mid/tweeter panels. The xover in the bottom of the panels IS NOT FULLY PASSIVE. You MAY damage your mid/tweeter panels running direct. For your info, please check this PD... 
Run Balanced and RCA at the same time?
I would keep in mind what Sean says. You will need to level-match as the balanced side will run aprox. 6db hotter. In my case the Infinity servo xover has a woofer level control. If your crossover has a level control you'll be all set, or you may ... 
How are the phono sections in lower priced BAT???
I cannot answer your question regarding the phono stages but I can say that I have a VK50SE in one system and a VK3i in another and am a happy camper with both. The 50SE needs no comment and the 3i although an entry-level piece according to BAT I ... 
Run Balanced and RCA at the same time?
I run balanced and single-ended out of my BAT VK3i preamp all the time. The BAT provides one set of balanced outs, and one set of single-ended outs. As I use Infinity IRS Beta speaker, I drive the servo woofer EQ box with the single-ended outs, an... 
6H30-"Super Tube" or "Stuper Tube" ???
I've been impressed with BAT's implementation of the 6H30, to the point where I own both the VKD5SE CD player and the VK50SE preamp. I was an Audio Research owner for many years prior. I cannot comment on the ARC 6H30 products, as I have not had t...
