BAT 31SE vs. 51SE


Hello.

Just wondering if anyone has done head-to-head comparisons. I have a 300SE integrated, and have just purchased a 75SE. Looking to get a BAT preamp soon (or if something better, let me know) and was wondering if it's really worth it to go for the big guy.

Your advice is most appreciated!

I had a 51SE and Tom Evans Groove phono. I upgraded to the Steelhead hoping that I would not need my pre-amp (Steelhead has a volume control and 1 line input). The Steelhead sounded appreciably better going straight into my amp vs going to the 51SE. No loss in dynamics and nice gains in purity and transparency.
