Thanks Art80342 and I'm not surprised by your experience. I would expect a dedicated pre to outperform the VK300 as a pre. I guess for me the questions is how much of a difference are we talking about? If the VK300's preamp performance is 85% to 90% of the Vk3xi then having the flexibility may be a worthwile tradeoff for me. Thoughts?
BAT VK 300 SE Integrated as a Preamp?
A'goners-
Kind of a different question here... anybody have experience with how the BAT supertube integrated performs as a preamp? I'm thinking about adding a VK55 SE amp for the winter months and using the bypass feature on the integrated to enable it perform as a preamp. Solid state integrated in the summer months, and a pre/tube amp combo in the winter! I'm thinking that the VK 300 SE as a premap must be at least as good as BAT's entry level preamps. So what say you?
