BAT preamp owners

I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to enlighten me on the differences between a vk 3i and vk 30 pre. I am thinking about adding some tubes to my system. I currently have an aragon 4004mk2 amp and altec lansing iconic horns. I sometimes switch out the aragon for a classe 10.
Any help would be appreciated. Also if you have switched to another pre please let me know. Thanks in advance, Larry

have a vk-30 and really, really like it alot.

it needs the best 7308's/6922 you can afford and the best powercord you can afford (the unit is very sensitive to power cords and they will the sound).

I have very good luck with the audience power cords...

I've owned both and loved them as I have all BAT gear I've had. Interface much better on 30 which I'm selling now to raise funds regrettably. Great stuff. Good luck.

The new 3ix is a significant improvement over the 3i.It has more depth and punch to my ears.It can be upgraded to an SE if one is so inclined. You might want to include this preamp in your search. I've never heard the VK 30.
