| Any feedback on BAT VK200 I had a vk200 for 2 yrs before I went with a vk60 tube amp. It's great. I had a Classe before, also 100/ch. The Bat is a great amp. What speakers? I used Hales and Audio Physic... | |
| bat vk 60 vs rogue mono 120s I have a VK60. Yes, the auto bias does everything for you. It's a great amp. Depends on your speakers. I have Audio Physic virgo's...great match. | |
| cartridge for rega planar 3 - 800 range The Grado Ref master is good. I have a Lyra Lydian b for my planar 25. I love it. Depends on the music you listen to and your system. The Lyra is 950 new. If you systems is a little rich or dark, you might really go for the Lyra. | |
| Does Muse 9S play DVD-A s? I just bought a new 9s From Hello Hifi. Great price and service, you ought to check them out before you buy a used one...Send a note to Brian@hellohifi.combtw, I went from a Wadia 850 to this, good step up in audio, and big step up from my marantz... | |
| Amps for Virgo : TUBE or SOLID? I have used a Classe ca100, Bat VK200 both solid state. Currently I use a BAT VK60 tube amp. Both bat amps are a great match, but the vk-60 a pretty special amp, and a great buy right now...It also depends on your other equipment and cables. The V... | |
| HELP Speaker Placement- A Nightmare Try the cardas method at www.cardas.com and/or the Audio Physic methed at www.immedia.com. One or the other will do wonders... | |
| Audio physic Virgo vs Maggie 1.6 QR Yes, both awesome speakers. Virgo beats it. However, there is a huge price difference. The Virgo is one the very few speakers that can match the transparancy of the maggies. The Virgo has much much better bass, and more weight. The Virgo has a fla... | |
| Do I really need a preamp? I had a Wadia 850 running straight to a BAT VK60 amp. It was awesome...until I tried a BAT vk50se preamp. For the money, the Wadia direct couldn't be touched. But, the BAT preamp too was a huge upgrade. IMHO, a preamp is a must when funds allow it... | |
| Speakers for BAT equipment I had the Bat 3 and the VK200 with cardas cable, Wadia cd and Audio Physic virgos. Great combo. Since then, I now have bat vk50se and vk60 and transparent cable, still awesome. With your music choices, give the virgos a try... | |
| Best balanced interconnects under 350 Cardas Nuetral Reference needs to be added to you list! | |
| dvd vs cd? I disagree IMHO. Try the Meridian 596 or the Muse 9 sig. I just went from a Wadia 850 and a Marantz DVD (7000) to the Muse. Both units are outstanding on both video and audio. I was amazed at how much better the video was on both units. The Meridi... | |
| 20 Amp Lines w/separate ground I put in 20 amp, w/ sep ground recently. Amazing the differnce. Then I added a cinepro 20. Even better. I think dedicated lines are the best for the buck, then add the conditioner of your choice... | |
| Best Balanced and singal ended pre-amp? Don't overlook the BAT. I own it.. and have both single ended and balanced source components going into it. The VK30SE has both XLR and RCA, but the 50se with the connectors is just fine...much better preamp too... | |
| Entry level balanced cables? Yeah, but the Transparent cables are wonderful. If you like themm single ended, you'll love em in balanced. | |
| Transparent Cables - Worth the money? I think so. I went from Cardas Golden Ref to Trans Ref. Pretty big step up... |
