I have a VAC 70/70 MKIII. I was using a Sonic Frontiers SFL2 line stage with no noise problems. I heard from 1 dealer that the BAT pre-amps are not a good match with the VAC amps (possible hum problems). That was the only person I heard this from. I went ahead and purchased a BAT 51SE. I hear no tube or noise problems and the system sounds incredible. Hope this helps.
Which pre-amp for the VAC 30/30
Hi, I have a VAC 30/30 amp and spoke with Kevin Hayes of VAC regarding the compatibility of the VAC 30/30 with my existing pre-amps, CAT MK III, Audible Illusion and the VAC Vintage Pre-amp. He indicated the 30/30 are input sensitive, and many pre-amps are not compatible, with the CAT and the Audible Illusion pre-amp there would be too much "tube noise" even with the VAC Vintage modifications would have to be performed at the factory.
Please owners of 30/30 please advise which pre-amp is a good combination. Thanks.
