Yeah it's hard when you can't hear the equipment on your own.You need will power not to buy something ,someone told you it was good,with hearing it yourself.
BUI - Guilty
OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?
My story:
I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance. I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp. Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes. So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.
Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE. Should be here by the weekend.
So what you in for?

I think I'm going to get small before shopping for a new amp when I'm ready. It sure worked out great this time :). Takes me back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOrdzCHnpw4 |
@vinylzone, nice score! BAT seems fairly well balanced, in terms of playing well with others. Now I wonder what is on your amplifier short list. Perhaps more BAT, SS amp w/ tube pre, all tubes? Happy hunting, and perhaps use the same technique on your amplifier purchase ;-) and let us know if you get the same results. |
