Balanced cable for a BAT vk3 - recommendations?
I would replace one cable at a time. You must think of them as another component. Siltech--very detailed, smoooth and very full bodied. I was using Cardas Golden Reference and much prefer the Siltech. 
Best tube pre-amp with remote vol. control
BATVK50SE. What you hear is the music, nothing but the mucic. 
Audio Physic's "New" Virgo---Better?? How So??
I auditioned the new Virgo 3 in my system which consists of BATVK75SE, BAT50SE, Electrocompaniet ECM-1 mk2. Listening to them for almost three days I found them very,very thin in the bottom end. No matter where I placed them in the room, the probl... 
What speakers do you recommend?
You should without question audition a pair of Verity Audio Fidelios. I auditioned the new Virgo 3--very disappointed, not enough down low, and I am using a BATVK75SE, BATVK50SE.The Fidelios have an unreal soundstage, midrange to die for, the same... 
ARC VT 100mk ll or mk lll or Bat 75SE?????
I own a BAT VK75ES. Loads of pure non colored power. Multiple sets of speaker taps make this amp very easy to use with many different speakers.I am using it with a pair of Verity Audio Parsifals Encores. Auto bias is a major plus.The new super tub... 
PayPal not as safe as everyone thinks?
I bought an inexpensive interconnect, and paid with paypal. Never received the cable, and all paypal did was send an email saying the seller was at fault. My money was gone and there was no way for them to get it back.Thanks for using paypal. 
Bat preamp with ARC amp?
I own the combo you are talking about. VK75SE and the VK50SE and I can tell you it is IMHO about as good as it gets. All the headroom you will need, and very transparent.It is a winning combination!! 
"New" Audio Physic Virgo
I listened to a pair this morning and was blown away ! Bass was very tight and controlled. Although the speakers had only been run for about 40 hours or so , they were so smooth it was wild. I listened to them being driven by a 100 watt tube amp, ... 
Speakers for Classical Music
I am currently listening through a pair of soliloquy 6.3's. Powered be a BATVK75SE amp, BATVK50SE preamp, and a Electrocompaniet EMC-1mk2 CDP. I don't know what kind of equipment you are using, but the soundstage from the 6.3's is remarkable. Very... 
Looking to upgrade from Sololiquy 6.3
Thanks for the ideas, I am go to try moving the speakers around in the room and see what happens. 
The best CD Player for the money
I must say that all the CDP mentioned above are all great players. What it really boils down to after reading all you can read and asking all the correct questions is---how does this particular player sound with my equipment, to my ears. I have ju... 
EMC1 mk2 vs Cary 306/200...
I would love to hear what you think after you listen to both, I currently own a EMC-1 MK2 
FPB Series - Hot Running?
I was surprised as well, no comparison as far as heat build up or sound. Go for thr FBP200C, you will love it. 
FPB Series - Hot Running?
I have a FPB-200c and it does get warm but not hot. Prior to this amp I had a KAV-250 which got extremely hot. 
Any merits of getting a Krell FPB 200 C with my existing KRC
Go for the FBP-200c. I started with 300I int amp traded for a KAV-250a---what a difference. Then I upgraded to a FBP-200c with my KRC-3--could not believe what I was hearing. Go for the best possibe amp you can and build your system around it. I h...
