BAT VK-3i / BAT VK-30 or Herron VTSP-1A pre amp

Kw6 asked what the Line 3 does better than the Vk-3i. IMHO the Line 3 is better in some very significant ways. It's more dynamic, more refined, and more extended. It throws a huge soundstage and it has greater resolution of low level detail. I'm hearing many things that I hadn't heard before -- and with considerably more realism. I like the ergonomics of the Line 3 a bit better than BAT's. I can change phase and switch to mono using the remote. The
muting function is neat in that it gradually raises the volume when mute is turned off. I do miss the BAT's volume presets though.

Thank you KennyB!

I have been running a VK 30SE for about a year. Definately worth the upgrade. I agree with some comments pertaining to using good cables. The company is fantastic with customer service. Can't say enough good things about it.
