| Vandersteen 3A Sig. with Balanced AudioTech. amps I drive a pair of 2CE Signatures with a pair of VK 55 monoblocs. This combination provides me with the rich dynamic sound that I was searching for. The sound is very natural and all the good recordings are reproduced with great detail. I also have... | |
| Which Tube Phono Stage around $1k? A used BAT VK P5 will fit your price range. I use mine with a LP12/Ittok combination and have no complaints. Top to bottom good all around phonostage. 2 6SN7's and 8 6922's, dual mono construction. They will accept any cartridge down to .4mv. Anyt... | |
| Vintage systems- anyone else? I too have a soft spot for older vintage systems. My senior system consists of a Scott 340B receiver, Klipsch Industrial Ported Heresy's and a Linn LP12 turntable with the Adkit cartridge. I use radio shack interconnects and 14 gauge speaker wire.... | |

| Best phono-pre for mc-systems below $ 1.500,00 ? I suggest a used BAT P5. In your price range and a great phonostage. Company has great coustomer service and upgrade path. I own one and couldn't be happier. | |

| Does anyone do good protest music anymore? The question that is posed made me reflect back to the thread on the Dixie Chicks and their reaction to the war and Dubya's false statements on the war. There were people in this community that were ready to burn them at the stake as well as destr... | |
| What is the safest way to remove cartridge clips ? I like to use a pair of straight surgical sutchers. I attach them gently on the flat part of the wire just below the pins and then gently pull. | |
| Vinyl Reason Nrchy as long as you don't plant the seeds I think your alright. | |
| Should we have an Audiophiles Anonymous I turned my life over to the care of a 6sn7 and a pair of 6922's. | |
| Best Value System I would have to value any system in the 10 to 15k range. Hell, I got into my first house for less than that. | |
| Matching pre-amp for Bryston power amp I currently use a BAT VK 3ix with a 4BST. In conjunction with the VK P5 phonostage in the analog front end. The Bryston and BAT gear have provided many evenings of listening pleasure. I would suggest trying a BAT VK 3i. They have good resale value... | |
| BAT preamp owners 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. | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? I would also suggest looking at the BAT line of preamps. Swampwalker went from a 3i to the Supratek, you might ping him and get his perspective as well. | |
| Taking the analog plunge... The BAT P5 is another phonostage worth considering. I believe it will give the 834P a run for the money. The P5 shows up ocassionally for $1000-1200. Also, uou might want to consider an LP 12 or a SOTA in the equation when looking at suspended tur... |
