| Speaker Cables for Revel F52 Good results with Revel F30 and Cardas Neutral reference internal biwire cables with BAT amp. | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp I believe Shunyata was being used | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 preamp Both set-ups at RMAF 2009 with Ref 5 were fantastic. One with Vandersteen Model 7 and the other with the Wilson Sashas. Both had a complete stack of Audio Research Reference components: CD8, Ref 5, Ref 2 Phono, and Ref 110 amp. | |
| RMAF and VTL I thought the VTL/Avalon Indra set-up at RMAF sounded excellent with both an analog source Rega P5/Exact and digital source. It is difficult to say how much of this was due to the VTL 5.5, but it certainly didn't get in the way! | |
| Need preamp recommendation BAT tube preamps are dead quiet | |
| phono stage options for Lyra Cartridges Excellent results with a BAT VK-P10SE superpak and a Lyra Skala | |
| Sound Comparison of an Ayre CX7e vs. BAT D5 I owned the Ayre CX7e and now own a BAT VK-D5SE with superpak. In an all BAT system (such as mine and yours), the BAT is a no brainer. I noted better instrumental tone and texture, better soundstaging, and a less clinical top end vs the Ayre. Some... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system Now that I read back through this thread, I agree with an above post: your room is huge! You are trying to pressurize a huge, reflective room with underpowered insensitive speakers. Have you experimented with moving your listening seat closer to t... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system I used aerial 7bs for a few years ina 16 x 14.5 x 9 ft room with all bat electronics and cardas cables. My room is furnished with a large sectional, ceiling to floor velvet drapes Nd wall-to-wall carpeting. I used a bat or ayre cd player or sme 10... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Do you experience this with both your analog and digital front end? I bet the Sophias sound excellent w/ good recordings (as mine do). If your goal is to set-up a system to make these inferior recordings sound "good", I fear you will end up with a... | |
| Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s I am getting fantastic results with BAT VK-52SE and VK-600SE with Wilson Sophia Series 2. Maybe Jfrech can weigh in on his lengthy experience with BAT and Wilson. | |
| Amplifier question for powering Wilson Sophia I have had excellent results with both the BAT VK-250SE and VK-600SE and my Sophia Series 2. See my system for details. | |
| Who has heard the new ARC ref 2 phono? I have always wondered why the BAT VK-P5 and VK-P10 phonostages do not use the 6H30 tubes, as they are used in all of the SE series preamps, including the REX, as well as the VK-D5SE CD player.... | |
| Speaker choice for BAT VK3xi/VK250 The problem with Sophia 2s for you is they are nearly $17,000 new and around $9-11,000 used! I have no personal experience with the Sophia Series 1. My understanding is that the Sophia 2s offer refinements over the Series 1, but are not radically ... | |
| Speaker choice for BAT VK3xi/VK250 I am using a pair of Wilson Sophia 2 with an all BAT system with excellent results (see my system). You should be able to find a nice second hand pair of Wilson Sophia Series 1 near $5000.00. |
