The synergy between VK60 and VK3i is much better than between VK60 and LS7. A few years back I went from ARC LS-3 to VK3i feeling much as you do now in regards to the difference. But once I made the change the music was much nicer. The ability to run fully balanced circuitry is very beneficial - more 3-d, more depth, fuller sound, and allows the full capability of the VK60 to shine.
BAT 3i or AR LS-7??????
I recently purchased a used BAT VK60, the owner also has a 3i preamp. It has the same functions as my AR LS-7 , is a little heavier and has a sticker price of 2,000.00
My LS 7 is running fine, I have no complaints, has a sticker price of 1500.00.
The BAT has outputs for Balanced interconnects, mine dosen't. Otherwise they offer the same functions.
Does anybody have any direct experience with these> any logical sonic reason why I should buy his and sell mine?
