| Watt Puppy 6 with tube amp. I have w/p 6's in a room that's 18x21. I'm running a single BAT vk60. 60w/ ch. Works pretty darn good. Never runs out of gas on music. Once, during the movie U-571, when some depth charges were going off, I noticed it whimped out. I mostly listen ... | |

| Bat VK-P10 and Sonic Frontiers SFP 1 Signature I have a VKP10. I'd never describe it the way you are. I am running it with a VK50SE preamp. I'd send Victor a email or call BAT. Maybe something is up with yours. Bad tubes, cartridge mismatch, cap, gain, or resistance set way off. Hard to tell, ... | |
| Help with Balnced for Pre and Amp Only Speaker cable isn't xlr or otherwise. XLR interconnect should lower the noise floor some. Maybe some other changes. Your amp and preamp are designed to be run balanced. You should try it.Will still help even though your sources are single ended. | |
| BAT Pre-amp owner What PLC? I've tried a Cinepro powerpro 20 and a Shunyata Hydra. Both are good, the Hydra has a blacker background, better dynamics and detail (for twice the money used). FYI, I have a vk50se and I kept the Hydra.Powercords can change it big to. I like the ... | |
| best transport for Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC Another choice is the DCS Verdi Used. Seen a couple for under 7K. Side benefit is it does SACD if you ever want to go there. Other choices above are also great IMO. | |
| What percent of your system cost is for cables? If I go by retail pricing I have about 20K in cables. I paid about 15K. So...using list about 30%. | |
| Audio Physic Virgos...... I used a BAT VK60. Loved it. | |
| Wiring a dedicated line Viridian, I'd call a electrician. It's not that expensive. $400-$1000 +/- bucks depending on your room, distance etc. Call a electrician...I'm sure you can get a free estimate. I did... | |
| BNC Digital cable of 1m or use 1,5m for better .. I've never tried this, so I can't tell you from personal experience. But, Kimber is a big proponent that digital cables (or at least theirs) need to be at a minimum of 1m and longer is a little better. Less digital reflections. Guess that means it... | |
| Need suggestions for a TURNTABLE MAT... I used to have a Rega 25 with rb600. The ringmat was a big improvement. Ditto for the heavywight. Everyone once in a while you'll see them used here for about $50 bucks each. Well worth it for that kind of money. | |
| Amp Upgrade - 3k to 4k used? The Hydra will do wonders-it did for me anyway. Do you have dedicated outlets with iso grounds? That'll help to. I had a pair of Virgo II's for 3 years. A single BAT VK60 drove the heck out of them. However, I've heard running 2 in mono is even be... | |
| Need Pre Amp and Power Amp for Watt/P5.1 5KMax Try Bat-used. I have WP6's with a 50se and vk60 amp. In your budget, try a VK3, 30 or 5 and a single vk60...you can always go to another vk60 and run mono down the road. If you want more power or bottom end, try a VK500 instead of the 60. Go tube ... | |
| Will I benifit form a external phono stage I agree with all the above comments. Being a former rega 25/600 owner and a former BAT P5 owner, that's a great combo, however, your TT is quickly going to be the weak link. In fact, and this is debatable I'm sure, but you may be better off with a... | |
| Static from Aesthetix phono stage when tt not on Do you have a spare set of tubes to try? Is it both channels? Or just one? |
