| Least cost way to send amp to USA from Belgium? Depending on how much the amp is worth, it maybe wise to ship it UPS Priority (guaranteed 2-3 day service) versus Expedited. It will probably cost double but will spare the unit of extra wear and tear during shipping. I had a pair of speakers ship... | |
| BAT 50SE Vs. McIntosh C200 Preamp Hi Supermighty,I have never heard the Mcintosh tube preamps, but I do own a VK-50SE. The biggest caveat about this BAT preamp is that it does not exhibit an overly tubed sound. So those looking for that kind of sound might be disappointed. Curious... | |
| Isolation methods for your VK50SE preamp Hi,I use the Synergistic Research Designer's Reference Squared X-series power cord with great results. Underneath, I have installed the Aurios MIB devices. They seem to "relax" the sound a bit giving the VK-50SE more graceful presentation. I would... | |

| Anyone update your BAT VK60 to SE status? I too was comtemplating upgrading my VK-60 monoblocks to SE status, but at $5000 for both amplifiers, I felt the cost was too prohibitive. I have been told that even with this upgrade, the VK-60SE will not quite achieve the sonics of the VK-75SE. ... | |
| Any VK60 owners using a diferent preamp? Hello,Hope I am not too late to jump into this thread.I am using the Theta Casablanca II w/Extreme DACs (Pre/DAC/Processore) and an Ayre D-1x CD/DVD transport with BAT VK-60 monoblocks and so far it has been impressive. I am very pleased with the ... | |
| Power cord for my Levinson 334, which one? I have experimented with power cords for the Levinson 334 and have found the Shunyata Python, Custom Power Cord Co Top Gun HCfi and the Synergistic Designer Reference Squared to work very well in my system.In short, I found the Python to add a nic... |
