| BAT VK50SE vs. ARC Ref 1 I have not compared the 50 to the Ref 1 but have heard the Ref II, LS-25 MKII and BAT VK-30SE in the same system. The Ref II was better but only by a small measure, mostly slightly more natural sounding and slightly moer tube sounding (no edge). Y... | |
| lamm vs bat I am auditioning the Lamm LL2 right now and have the BAT VK-30SE and Pass Labs X-1. The BAT has compressed dynamics versus the others and has a darker background. The Pass sounds much clearer and more dynamic than the BAT. The LL2 compares to the ... | |

| should I upgrade my amp What ICs, power cords and speaker wire are you using? These may make a bigger change in your system than the amp or preamp depending on what you are usig now. I compared 12 amps over the past four months and there wasn't that big of an improvement... | |

| HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound I just went through this a month ago. There are no SS amps that sound like tubes. You need to be more specific in what type of sound you are looking for when you say tube sound. I compared over twelve popular SS amps in the $3K - $6K price range. ... | |

| Best off the beaten bath x-mas music..... Merry Axeman has Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Eirc Johnson, Brian Setzer, etc. Great CD. | |
| ARC with B&W 801's? The Matrix series is NOT a good match for tube amps. The crossover desing requires lots of current and they do sound at their best with a high power SS amp, like Krell. I own the matrix 803s and use the Pass X-250 that really makes them sing. | |
