BAT Thoughts.....


i am a tube guy but my listening space get's too warm with the vk-55 tube amp. the vk-5i tube pre seems to be less of an issue. ever tried a tube pre/ss amp pairing? also, i will get another tube amp for the winter season and desire something with a bit more "creamy dreamy" presentation than the 55, which i found to be lacking in sound warmth (the unit itself could sure get warm!. the cary brand works for my ear but wondering if anyone has other thoughts?

I have numbers of tube amps in my house, BAT tube amps do run hot but not much hotter than other tube amps. amount of heat BAT 75SE produces is equivalent to ARC, VTL, or SF 100 wpc tube amp and drive capability is similar, so comparison between different wattage is fair.

But this is where the story ends, BAT sounds so much better than other tube amps!

To sweeten the sound of your VK55, roll the 6SN7.
