| BAT Equipment vs Audio Research Hello Pipes, Wow this thread is right up my alley. Over the years I have compared ARC to BAT and in all honesty to my ears it wasn't even close! Before owning BAT gear I had countless ARC tube pre-amps and amps and I don't want to over state my en... | |
| Anyone compared these 2 Preamps ? Hi Meyerb, I haven't heard the VK-30SE but I can tell you that I totally agree with Jtinn statements about the VK-50SE. I also would like to add that Bat has excellent customer service. Best of luck, Tom | |
| New Speakers Hi Rwd, May I suggest the Avalon Eidolon. Good luck, Tom | |
| BAT VK5se V. AR LS5mkIII Hi Jrud, I just wanted to suggest another way for you to go with this. Buy a VK50 and down the road when you can have it upgraded to the VK50se. IMO the VK50se is about as good as it gets! Best of luck, Tom | |
| BAT VK-5SE vs 50SE Hello Clferrari, I haven't heard the 5se but I own the 50se and it is a killer!!! Good luck, Tom | |
| BAT VK500 Hi Captain, I'm happy to hear that you loved the amp!!! I said those same words to myself when I got my BAT VK60's and after almost 3 years I feel the same. Happy listening, Tom | |
| BAT VK500 Hi Captain, I was just was wondering what your take was on the VK500? A little over 2 years ago when I auditioned amps both tube an solid-state for my system the VK500bat-bak and the Pass Alpha 2 was my favorites out of the s/s amps that I heard. ... | |
| BAT VK500 Happy Thanksgiving Captain, The input impedance is 100ohm for each phase. Input signal for maximum output power is 2.0 volts. Power rating is 250 watts at 8 ohms and 450 into 4 ohms. You should find out if the amp has the batpak. The batpak increa... | |
| Tube Pre-amp beneficial? Hello Wsmatua, I have to agree with Beemer. Give the Bat a try. I also have the VK50se and it is just great! IMO it was better then pre-amps costing twice as much by quite a large margin. Start out with one of the basic models and then the road wh... | |
| bat vk60 stereo vs monoblocks... Hi Jfrech, You should try to audition both in your own system so you can reach your own conclusion. I can tell you that I'm hearing wonderful things about the new SE amps from BAT including the SE upgrade for the 60 although I haven't heard them m... | |
| Beautiful Speakers Hello Ljgj, The Avalon Acoustics Eidolon in the curly maple or the myrtle cluster burl is IMO just beautiful. When hooked up to the right equipment is when it shows its real beauty though. The looks and sound will beguile you!!! Good luck, Tom | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please Hello Mriggs, I'm with Garfish and 1439bhr on this one. IMO and in the context of my system the ML360s had the best overall balance of virtues that sounded just right. It has tremendous detail and a huge transparent soundstage that is relaxed and ... | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Hi Shelton, Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it the next time I'm at the cd store. What's the instrumentation on Matheny's disc and how would you rate it for sonics. Thanks, Tom | |
| Atmasphere MA-1 vs. BAT Amps Hi Jtinn, I just had a phone conversation recently with a dealer who carries both the Atmasphere and the Bat amps. If you are refering to the new Bat VK150se amps he was taken by the sound of the new Bat amps. If you would like you can e-mail me a... | |
| Tip: Excellent Jazz CD's Thanks Shelton, I do have 3 of Joshua Redman's cd's. I know Brad is on Mood Swing but I'm not aware of him being on any of the others. Redman's live cd is pretty good at times. There are a lot of great jazz piano players out there and we also lost... |
