There is NO contest, the VK5i is a much better sounding preamp, I've had both. The VK5i is a sleeper bargain. You should be able to find one on Audiogon for around $1700-$1900 depending on age and the build quality is EXCELLENT!
BAT VK-5i or VK30 ??
Hi folks!
Anybody who might have had compare them and would care to
express an opinion on this topic...I'm looking for richness and fullness in low midrange and I understood that both offers it in spades.
Should the cut in tube # and features from 5i to 30 be regarded as economy or technological advance from BAT?
Also, what would be a good price to pay for these models?
Million thanks!
