| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? My max budget is $1500 (for used).It will drive Tyler LSS (one piece). (Is it 89 or 90db?)I already have VK-200 and VK-30, but want to also keep a tube amp which would work better than VK-200 for different styles of music. BAT VK-60 may be an idea... | |
| Balanced tube preamp as good as BAT VK at lower? I purchased a used vk-30 with phono and remote.I had not recognized any inconvenience with Rogue Magnum 99 whose remote has only volume up/down, but with BAT remote, I don't think I can ever go back without remote or limited remote feature. ;-)For... | |
| How high end must your system be... Using Zu Wax Biwire cable ($1000+ new, bought used at $400) on sub $5000 systems did not reveal notiecable difference from $100 single wire from Signal cable.My current system (amp, preamp, cdp, turntable, speaker) is a bit over $15,000 (if bought... | |
| Entry Level Turntable? Thorens TD145/150/160/166 + Grado gold. You can get them at around $300. | |
| Pre + phono under $2500? I guess you can get a used vk-31 + remote + phono card at the price.I recently got vk-30 with phono card and vk-200, all at under $3000. The sound is amazing. (I have Tyler LSS speakers and Arcam CD23 cdp) | |
| How good is vk-p3 phono? I posted the question since I was very disappointed with the phono card in my vk-30 tested in my friend's house. After I've read some of the responses, I could not but conclude that the phono unit was at fault or there was something else seriously... | |
| BAT vk3ix Looks like it is cheaper to sell your vk-3ix and get a used vk-31/32 or vk-40. ;-) | |
| How good is vk-p3 phono? I mean BAT vk-p3 phono module. | |
| Hi, does anybody own the new tyler acoustics D10's Got it yet?Comments? | |
| How good is BAT vk-p3 phono card? Sorry for the confusion. I meant by new separates in the $1000~1500 price range, that's what I heard from BAT dealers/users.I haven't listened to EAR 834P, but have read enough good about it. If P3 is comparable to the EAR, I guess it is better th... | |
| How good is BAT vk-p3 phono card? I would not expect vk-p3 (now new at $750) as good as separate phonos at $1500 used. More appropriate comparision would be with phono preamps at $500~1000 used. Yes, I've heard a lot about Aesthetix Rhea, but I think it is in the same league as vk... | |
| How much better is BAT VK-3ix than the VK-3i? I would go for vk-31 at $2100 currently for sale at agon. I think it is an excellent price.I had been thinking of getting vk-3i/3ix/30 for a while, and ended up with vk-30. I wish I could pull out more $$$ to get vk-31, but I thought that my vk-20... | |
| Speakers for 3K Tyler Linbrook Signature Systems. Currently $2549 for a used one from Upscale Audio. With $200 for shipping, it would be hard to beat for the price. | |
| Is Kind of Blue the Best Jazz Album Ever Yes, I would agree Folk Singer would be a bit of stretch to be included in jazz collection, but can it be blues jazz? We know Muddy had a big influence on many (blues) jazz musician later on. Same would be for Getz/Gilberto which is bossa nova jaz... | |
| How good is the BAT VK40? Yes, I am going to get a vk-30 pretty soon. ;-) |
