What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST?

Well i decided on a stand alone pre amp after all. I went with the BAT Vk-3iX w/ remote and couldnt be happier. The addition of this piece has brought my music to another level. This piece has been the most and i dont use this term loosesely here the most enjoyable addition. Everytime i listen im getting that sh*t eating grin on my face. So thanks to all that posted for your recommendations, thoughts and opinions.

I can imagine the BAT offers a nice balance to the Bryston. Enjoy.

Good for you! I am a bit of a Bryston fan myself (especially the Amps and Processors) they're darned neutral with good resolution and great bass. Oh yeah, and power to spare!

I'm with Tvad, I bet the BAT and the Bryston have good synergy. Keep grinning!

I feel the BAT and the Bryston have incredible synergy, the Bryston really came in to its own with that pre. I couldnt be happier...period.

a buddy has a VR2 and he paired them with the 3bsst and the 3bst. They sounded "average"-- clean sound, good power but its a bit on the dry side & lacked that involvement "factor" . He was using a conrad pv10 tube pre. Inspite of that, sounded dry.

The mccormack dna 05 sounded better with the VR2. Its sweeter but i feel that these VR2 w/ the mccormack could be wanting more power which the dna 05 i felt was somewhat lacking.The sound was a bit lacking in body.

He is still on the search.......
