Chessman, Wilson audio sophia 3

Thread Hijacked
How the hell did the thread devolve from my question to a series of utterly non-responsive and tangential posts?

Your are right Swelfelo. Sorry.
To answer your question I had a VK-32 SE before my vi-53 SE. I can't make the comparison with the vi-52 SE but the improvement is great regarding the 32 SE. The rest of my system : amp : VK-255 SE ; Wilson audio Sophia 3, Wadia 381 cd player and Kubala Sosna Emotion cable. |
I Give Up
The question remains unanswered. I will restate it:
What is the difference in sound between the 52-SE and 53-SE? If there is an audible one, is it worth $6K? If you have not auditioned both preamps and are not answering the question based upon your personal empirical experience, I truly do not care to read about a comparison of other unrelated equipment in my thread. Please start your own thread. Thank you for your anticipated courtesy. |

The transformers also totally eliminate any concerns about impedance matching with power amplifiers. |

About to Find Out
I am very close to ordering the upgrade for my VK-52SE and will report on any differences I remember hearing when this is done and back in my system.
In the meantime, I will be listening to my VK-42SE, which, to be totally honest, I have never done. So this will be very interesting for me to compare tube against solid state preamps and the tubed upgrade for the last generation. BTW, there is now a VK-43SE but no indication on the company website if an upgrade path exists. When I call for an RMA number, I will inquire. Cordially, Swelfelo |
I am eagerly awaiting your report. :)
