| Bat 150 SE replacing 6C33-B power tubes problems I have RCA red base 5692's in the 6sn7 spots in my 75se. Much sweeter sound. Also I replaced the 6v6, but can't remember the actual tube.Good luck ! | |
| Bat 150 SE replacing 6C33-B power tubes problems Were the sparks internal to the tubes or inside the amp? Something might be wrong with the amp. Anyway, when I change the 6c33 b tubes on my vk75se, it does take a little breakin on the tubes...not much...like a few days. And I don't notice a very... | |
| Isolation platform for my Esoteric DV-50S My Symposium Svelte with Fatpadz is amazing. I like the Symposium Ultra I have even better. Best I've found under my DV50 | |
| pick me a cd player please-3k to 4k budget Care about multi format or DVD? The Esoteric DV50s is a steal used at about 3k. Beat my Wadia 850 (unmodded). | |
| BAT VK-200 Burn-in time? I used to have a vk 200 before I went to the BAT tube amps. You have a great amp. Say about 200 hours playing hard. I also used to leave mine on almost continuously. It seems to sound better after a hour of warm up...then another small notch after... | |
| Can Audio Physics be run on low power tubes? I used to use Virgo II's with a BAT VK 60. 60 watts per side. It was super. Amazing system. I have Watt Puppies now...but those Virgo's were a special speaker... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Albert has a fair point. He's listened to the normal fuse, ceramic fuse, and the $25 fuse. He can hear a difference. Timrhu asked "pile one" So seem like his request was granted!I think the main point here is, you can't really question someone who... | |
| SOTA Nova vs SME 20/2 I own a SME 20/2. I wish I could offer advice on comparions to SOTA's for you. I love my SME 20/2. I've owned for 4 years now. I have 2 friends that both own Walker's. Of course the Walker is better, but I really have a killer system and my friend... | |
| Bat VK-31SE vs. 51SE. Sonic differences? Well...great system! I don't like to give direct advice, but the 51SE will stay in you system as a corner stone for years to come. Given what you are saying, it's the choice. I've heard the Calypso to...similar findings-it's a steal for the $$'s, ... | |
| Bat VK-31SE vs. 51SE. Sonic differences? Hi, I had a 31se in my system while my 50se was getting upgraded to a 51se. The 31SE hand down beat the 50se. The 51SE is similar to what flyski says above, however, I'll take it a few steps farther... I think it is deeper and more extended in the... | |
| Lyra Skala - Has anyone heard this yet? I'll add dynamics to your leaness list. I am not sure this cartridge is widely available yet. I'm also curious if the Titan i is still significantly better... | |
| Which is more important, spkr. or intrc. cable? I'd say interconnect from source to pre #1. Speaker cable #2 then #3 interconnect from pre to amp. Power cords #4.However, they are all important. Any weak link. Plus system matching comes into play... | |
| Helikon LOADING Now...all of this is dependent on everything else! Makes it easy huh? VTA, VTF, overhand etc can all effect the sound...rather dramatically at times. Sometimes, I'll make a change in one of these, and think I need to back out the loading.Anyway, g... | |
| Helikon LOADING I'm at 1k on my BAT vkp10SE superpak. Sounds gorgeous to me ! I arrived here via expiramentation...next setting down to dull...47k to bright. | |
| What do folks use to clean cables/connections? I like Kontak. It's pricey...like $40 a bottle...but I can hear a difference.Good luck. |
