Thats like saying that I've never tried vanilla, chocolate or strawberry, but please tell me what I'll like best.

There is no one right answer, only what works for you.

Cheers,

Stay away from BAT equipment. I would go for a well priced ARC Ref any day. The three are not like the other guy said; it is more a question of different vanilla ice creams from different high-end ice cream makers.
i have had arc and currently own bat....both are very good pre's... couple of questions...

6922 or supertube ?
phono stage ?

if you want to go supertube then arc, if you want a built in phono then bat.. if you want supertube and phono then bat..

the drawback to the ref 1 and the bat 50 is the 8 -6922's.....
