What's Best , Audio Research VT-100 or VT-100 MKII


I have heard that alot of people like the sound of the VT-100 better than the up-dated VT-100 MKII. What do you think? I,m using a Classic 60 with a LS-25 now. I also have a D-70 MKII with a LS-16 that I like quite well.

Well you folks are giving me food for thought, I,m wondering how much differant it sounds compared to a Classic 60. Where I live the Hi-Fi stores do not exist so I can't listen to anything before I buy.
I have a Classic 150 that has been upgraded with Infinicaps by ARC. To me this amp sounds more musical than any of the VT-100 models.
Definetly the VT 2 having upgraded from the 1 although the VT3 is quite an improvment over the 2 IMHO.
I owned the MKI and now, the MKII, which is definitely a better amp in my system. If you are considering a MKI, you may want to check with ARC regarding its production date. During my years with the MKI, I had several factory upgrades including FET's and Infinicaps, which made quite an improvement over the earlier MKI's.
Keep your Classic 60, VT 100 series sound more solid state.
Get a VT130 or 150 if you need the power.
