I don't think the capacitors need much breaking in period, but then I am not a great believer in breaking in in general, I am all for just using the equipment. I would not worry about replacing the other 4 caps, they do not suffer from the electrical leakage, like the SIX-PAK caps do. Best, Victor |
I have a VK50SE and found the Sovtek 6H30 to sound great. I have also thought of switching out the Jensen caps with Mundorfs.

I switch back and forth between a ARC LS27 and my VK50SE. Something about the BAT preamp that I find very captivating. I am currently waiting on a REF5SE to come my way when the person receives their REF6. This might be the game changer between the LS27 and the VK50SE.

I am also an owner of BAT gear, VK-50 se, VK-500 bat pak, both been back to BAT for repairs/cap replacements/updates and currently using EH 6H30 gold pin tubes in preamp, love the BAT stuff

I am a proud owner of a 51se preamplifier, which is pairing with a DartZeel cth-8550. The DartZeel is an integrated and, hence, I am using only the power stage.
I enjoy very much the combination but I presume That the DartZeel is underused in this situation. I thought I could sell the DartZeel and buy a cheaper power that could be a good match with the 51se. Does anybody here have any suggestion? Here in my city I have no chance of testing before the purchase. My speakers are the Dali Epicon 6. Thanks very much in advance. Marcelo |
What is your city? Would think you should be able to sell your DartZeel for enough to fund a new BAT VK-225SE amp, which is has a similar power output. Have not heard Dali speakers with BAT, but a VK-31SE feeding a VK-220SE into Audio Physic speakers was one of the top 2 or 3 systems I've heard in a dealer show-room.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I may have the opportunity of getting a second hand vk600Mse...
Any other opinions? Marcelo |
msr... Welcome to AA! :wave:

It’s time to replace the tubes of me 51se preamp. Which tubes do you recommend?
