Audio Research VS110 vs Bat KV-60

Interconnects for BAT

ARC VT-100 mk1 or BAT VK-60?
If it means anything to anyone, the amp I owned before the BAT VK-120 monoblocks was the ARC VT130. IMHO in my system the BAT was the better amp by far. 
EMM original CDSD with DCC2-SE?
Hi Rich,The improvement was resolution which brought to the surface details that were just not there before. This new information came in different ways, timbre of texture be it instrument or voice was more realistic, the sound space was bigger wi... 
EMM original CDSD with DCC2-SE?
Hello Rgs, I purchased my cdsd ( with the USB port ) just before EMM released the CDSD/SE. I had to send it to EMM for a repair and they also brought it up to the SE status which included the new firmware and an update to the power supply. IMO it ...
