Very cool, a little note on the new Rex tube amp. I only heard it in prototype stage. The feeling I got was it was supposed to just replace the vk150se and be the vk160se but the cost to build it b...

Good news I flipped the switch from 6h30 to 6c45. I got this unit used so not sure which is the factory setting but I will try the 6c45 for a bit. Will leave playing for today then give a listen to...

Actually the fact that when I bought the REX tube amp wasn't available yet made my decision easy. I was trying to decide on the VK150SE in mono or the VK600SE. The room I listened in was slightly s...

Interesting communication from two proud rex owners it looks like here. I love this pre!!! Also of note the system I heard in Chicago was at Glenn Poors Audio. The amp wasn't even the VK600's it wa...

Also Rtnl, I'm not familiar with any switching. I most likely won't mess with it as my stuff is on the CMS racks and the surface the equipment sits on is a filter and is very delicate so taking a p...

The 2301 was a very good amp but it isn't missed. This BAT amp is just as liquid and has a more natural air to it but when it comes to delivery, there is no comparison. Thats not saying the 2301 wa...

Glad you like the cdp202, I run mine with Shunyata rca inter-connects. I intend on trying some shunyata xlr's in the near future but happy with this for now. I've not heard the mcd301, nor have I t...

Indeed, I have the kt88's warming up now for my first audition. I have 8 very close matched in one amp and 8 others very closely matched in the other amp. I've got the mullards new issue in the pre...

Okay, put some new tubes in. Just reissues on the Mullards 12AX7, accidentally put them in the amps to which I now know the amps us 12AT7. Any way put the AT's back in after finding that out. The M...

The classe cdp is AWESOME, man it has sound that I think compares with much more expensive players. I think it rivals most vinyl rigs I've heard. I've been very impressed with it and until mcintosh...

Just my opinion and I did compare it to the mcd201. The only mcintosh cdp which may be able to replace it for the purpose of matching it is the mcd/mda1000. Its twice the money though so I hope it ...
