| BAT vk3ix It might be cheaper to move up the line? Not sure they upgrade this preamp unless its offered with the BatPak? | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES I totally agree. Exactly what a buddy of mine said, the 5400 is not built anything like the 9000. I was hoping someone has actually compared them side by side or at least where both of them were in compatible systems. I know Ozzy didnt care for it... | |
| How much better is BAT VK-3ix than the VK-3i? Your VK200 would be able to tell the difference in the 30/31 I am sure. Any changes when I had mine were noticeable. Ihcho does bring up a good point, the VK5i is xlr only unless you have adaptors. | |
| How much better is BAT VK-3ix than the VK-3i? I used Matsushita 6DJ8's in my 5i with good results. Do a search here and you will find they are good tubes and priced reasonably. I still have 4 of them. A friend of mine is using 4 of them to see if he likes them in his Audio Research preamp. I ... | |
| Someone familiar with older KSA Krell amps A friend of mine had the 100s driving his Thiel 3.7's. He then borrowed a 200s and preferred it because he immediately noticed more bass and overall a more balanced sound because of the extra power. He bought the 200s. | |
| How much better is BAT VK-3ix than the VK-3i? The 5i is a big step up from the 3i. I had a 5i and paired it with the VK55 for a few months. I loved this combo. I have never heard the 3ix but Stereophile did a review of the 3ix and 55 amp and loved the combo. Go to Stereophile and search. The ... | |
| How good is the BAT VK40? Coltrane1 I agree with you for the most part but I have listened to the VK40 at the same time I had a VK5i and preferred the 5i simply because it had MUCH better midrange and topend extension. The 40 was faster and tighter but did not have the mid... | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES Gandme I totally agree you. I think it is system matching because I have heard too many good things about its redbook performance. I also was talking to very experienced audiophile last night and that was the 1st thing he said. It wasn't mating up... | |
| Krell FPB and cast versions Thiels are revealing but the 7 series is not that "bright" Chazzbo. Krell is a great match for them. | |
| How good is the BAT VK40? Get a tube BAT pre ;) | |
| BAT Solid State Amplifiers No lean sound in BAT gear. Someones ears need checking if they said that...lol. | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES One more question? Has anyone compared the Sony's to a Raysonic 128 or Cary 306/200? | |
| Your definition of soundstage I think Jim hits the nail on the head especially in the last 3 paragraphs. | |
| Need to buy used integrated about 800 dollars A used YBA YA201, DT Integre or any Cayin integrated would be a nice choice. | |
| Sony XA5400ES vs XA9000ES Hmmmm...Looks like the teeter is swinging toward the 5400? |
