Today I listened to the bat vk-300x - connected to JM-lab Electra bookshelf with a carry cd player and i have to say wow it approached the music with speed and detail with a excellent sound stage. last week i auditioned the moon w5 from simaduio with a par of totem forest speakers- this system got all the music and lost nothing it was all there the only thing that stopped me from buying it was the soundstage it seemed that the music was in the front with the speakers not very deep and somewhat boring to me. When comparing it to the musical fidelity 308 pre/amp with the jm-labs and the musical fidelity cd 308 -- there was no comparison the w5 was not for me so I am now undecided between the musical fidelity and the bat
i think i am going to go for the bat --but more listening will need to be do for me to make that statement -- the bat dos have one up on the mf tho -the bat can be upgraded with tubes at $500 or super tubs for $1000 -- this can be reasonable in a year or so for me but i like that i do not need to sell my pre/amp to upgrade my system i can upgrade the bat at my dealer for a reasonable price-- the mf i can't do that with and it has no balanced in/out but it is musical--please send me a email and let me know what you think
