| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition I used to have the GFA-5500 back in 1998 I think it was. For a mid-fi amp it was decent but I replaced it with a Conrad Johnson SA-400 amp and it was night and day. Of course as with most peeps in this hobby it just got uglier and uglier...lol. Wh... | |

| Shunyata Python Helix compared to Taipan Helix I found the Python Helix to have better bottom end and smoother. It worked well on the amp and on CDP. I didn't keep it because it set the soundstage too far back in my system. Other than that it is really nice. I did keep the Taipan Helix on the ... | |
| Best Multi-channel Amp for Tyler Acoustics Speaker Music is secondary...WOW :)Does BAT make multichannel amps? The VK200 worked great with my Linbrooks. I have heard your Woodmeres in the early stages of development. Ty was trying to fine tune them when I was in town one weekend. Ty is a close fri... | |
| trying to decide between Cary 303/300 and BAT CD I owned a Jolida for quite awhile. While I liked it the Cary 308 beat it handsdown. Imagine what a better Cary will do? | |
| whats the best addition u have bought for system A Running Springs Haley or any of their conditioners will be easilty noticed. | |
| Consummate MK 3 vs VK-5i vs Klangquele vs K3 I really like my VK5i. It has TungSol and Matsushida tubes which sound better than stock for sure. Have not heard the other preamps you mention. | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? 2nd the BAT VK200 | |
| Warm Preamp Have you tried a Plinius preamp? Older ARC preamps are warm. I like my BAT VK5i alot and maybe a VK3i might be the ticket? | |
| Jolida CD-100...Who has moved on and... I moved on to the Cary 308 from the Jolida. I did replace the stock tubes with GE black plates which improved the player. I preferred the Cary quite a bit over the Jolida. Since the Cary I have tried the Paradisea DAC and Muse Model 9 Gen III. I r... | |
| what is the best amp you've ever heard BAT tube amps sound pretty awesome. | |
| ARC LS2 versus B.A.T. VK-3i Your Thiels are not known for smoothness IMO. I have heard and had them in my home so they like polite electronics unless you like lots of detail? I think your choice of BAT is a good one. I have a VK5i and VK200 and like both alot. Also had a ARC... | |
| Tubes vs. SS I have owned tubed preamps and mated with SS amps for the past several years. Currently I have a BAT VK200 amp and VK5i preamp. I have been very happy with this combo until I borrowed a friends VK55 tube amp. The VK200 sounds very good but the 55 ... | |
| Proceed PDT 3/PDP 3 I would keep your PDT and try a different dac. You have a nice transport. Maybe try a newer ML dac. I used to have a #36 and liked it. Of course it is older but still a good one. Not sure what your budget is but I would think that newer dacs will ... | |
| retubing a bat vk 5i?????? I have the Matsushita's 6dj8's and Tung Sol 5881's. I really like the sound of my VK5i with these tubes. Even changing the 5881's was noticeable over the stockers. I also have Herbies Halo's and placed them almost 1/2 way down each 6dj8 tube. |
