o, good observations.

m, what verion of the vsm do you have?
some sound better with ss than others.

m, it was designed to be used between the source and pre or in a tape loop. this way it is buffered by the output section of the pre. however if your system sounds too heavy/dull or you use a subwoofer you may prefer it between the pre and power. but without a sub prior to the pre is best especially with a tube pre amp.

m, the mme is fantastic with ss and even better sounding with good tube gear.
a preamp will make the use of the sbam and its sound even better.
all combinations will offer great sound with some being better in certain ways.
the mme is a very versatile design that sounds good with both. do you know of the master bam and master rc's?
best, bobby

m, with no pre?
