questions about the DVP S9000es

Don-Geez our systems must sound very similar! what pre are you using? it is pretty uncanny the same components we are using.

tim, i am now using a BAT vk-30. the 30 sounds great but i recently made the mistake of trying a vk-50 in my system -unbelievable improvement in all respects. i listed the 30 for sale on a-gon with the intention of buying a used vk-50 (can't afford the 50se). however, victor khomenko told me that he thinks a 30se is as good or better than a vk-50. so....i may keep my 30 and have it upgraded.

i forgot what preamp you were using. how do you like it?

Don- Man this would have been weird if I got a VK-30 as well, which was at the top of my list, but I just didn't like the volume knob! what a complaint, eh? Besides another member here offered me a killer deal on his old pre which was an offer too good to refuse. So I am currently running an Accuphase DC-300(with some toys :) which is amazing, exceeds my highest expectations. I am a "tube" guy and love it(the DC-300), may even try an Accuphase A-50v in my system for a while, but that will be down the road(always gotta be planning though!) I am thinking of either having my VK-60 upgraded to VK60se spec or selling it in lue of a VK-75se, but thats all speculation at this point I need new cables and that is my spring goal! One step at a time!!
