I am using Van den Hul The Second between Bryston BP-25 and BAT VK-200, and the results are very musical, with good detail but no harshness, lots of air, three dimensionality.
Go for Cardas! Used to own 3i and vk-60. Used Cardas Golden Hexlink 5C - nice, rich and smooth. With vk-200 you'll definitely need the Cardas richness! I've moved to a 30SE and am changing to a Coincident IC. Can make deal if you wish.
