BAT NOS Super Tubes
Hello Bostonbean,The way I hear it is the BAT NOS tubes are more dynamic linear so dynamic shading is more nuanced and energetic. I also hear a more textured tonal palette with the BAT 6h30's.That being said the new production 6h30 has got quite a... 
Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1?
"Maybe Victor's business partner can provide a view on the MP-1. This thread seems to be heavily biased towards the BAT..."Hello Rob,Besides BAT making some of (IMO) best sounding components your money can buy they also set the example of class an... 
Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1?
Hello Darkmoebius,Just wanted to take the opportunity and give a plug for the BAT Rex. I don't think you'll find a preamp that dives deeper into the texture of sound as the BAT Rex. That's what I consider detail! At the same time it does it with ...

Nordost Tyr vs Valhalla
Hello Davt,This is not from my first hand experience but from what I've heard is that the Tyr is not quite as full in tone and images don't develop quite as full or as rounded in sound as the Valhalla. Also, the sense of relaxation and ease is sup...
