BAT VK-52se vs. BAT VK-53se
Has anyone compared the 52se against 53se?

I have not, but I am very interested in the answer.

I'm also wondering if I should upgrade my 32SE to 33SE.

I'm wondering exactly the same thing. Is the investment worth it? Is it possible to describe in what areas performance is improved? Any such assessments are, of course, somewhat subjective and dependant on overall system synergy, but it would be great to hear from a listener who's gone from caps to output transformers.

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.

I wish this BAT forum was busier. It would be nice to have more discussion here. Pete

Amen. I can't figure out why the BAT owners are not hanging out here, unless they think this site is solely a McIntosh fan group, which it surely is not.

VK-53 SE preamp
I have the vi-53 SE with the vk_255 SE amp.
I am very happy with this combination but I would like to know if BAT preamp is a good match with other SS amp like D'agostino momentum ? Thank you for your answers. |
