| Best phono DIN/RCA cable Never tried the HDI, so I can't help. I have tried the Dominus, not in a phono cable, but in a interconnect...my o my....I wish money grew on tree's. | |
| Anyone run CDP direct to BAT amps??? I did it several years ago with a Wadia 850 going into a VK200 and then a vk60. Worked wonderful, amazing, right until I tried a BAT preamp in the mix.Net net, it'll sound good. A great preamp will sound better, however it's a $$'s thing. If you'r... | |
| Best phono DIN/RCA cable The Purist is much much more quiet. Which allows tons more detail and imaging clues to emerge. Sweeter top end, deeper bass. More weight in the vocals. It's dramatic, not subtle. More real, wet presentation. Some people might say the Graham cable ... | |
| Best phono DIN/RCA cable I'd have to say the best I've tried is the Purist Venestas. By a pretty big margin. Other very good ones are the Hovland Music Groove 2 and the Graham IC50/70. I've had all in my system.The Purist is in a different league... | |

| Battubes....the begining I have all bat equipment. The only thing that uses 6922's is my phono stage. I've had great luck with the Amperex 7308's.One other thought, if you love the bat sound but don't like the tube rolling, go to one of their pre's with the 6h30 tube. A 3... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? I'm pretty impressed with the Purist Audio cables. I'm using Venustas and Opis. I've also used Transparent Ultra and Reference, and well as Cardas Golden Cross and Golden Ref.The Purist are the best I've tried. They happen to also not be the most ... | |
| $6-7k to Spend on Turntable Iflyfisher: Well, what does it sound like? Congrats on your SME 20! | |
| $6-7k to Spend on Turntable I think you should consider the SME turntables. The others listed about are all good choices. The SME 20 used falls right in you price range. That TT and your IV.Vi arm will likely outlast you. It's the perfect match for your arm. Good luck. | |
| Who makes all the transports? Sony-Philips makes a lot, Pioneer, I'm sure others. Teac makes some the best transport mechanisms. In use by Wadia, Esoteric etc. | |
| Balanced audio 31 and 31se pre amp any good? I'll add to this thread the the 31 and 31se are SIGNIFICANTLY better than the 30SE. Ditto for the 50 vs 51SE. BAT is one of the better high end companies. You won't be making a mistake buying from them. Tom has the best advice, if you can try at h... | |

| BAT 31SE vs. 51SE Eldo1968, wait about 2-3 weeks on your 51se. It will seriously open up. BIG. Leave it on with music going through it. About once a week...power it down fully-NOT standby...want a few hours or overnight. Something speeds breakin at full powerdown a... | |
| BAT 31SE vs. 51SE Metralla, the 51se is a monster update to your 50SE. It shocked me quite frankly. Clearly better...you'll think your 50SE is broke almost... |
