Chessman, Well, that explains it. Thank you.
Marty, I am feeling expansive tonight so ask your question(s) about the Ncores and we will just let my thread take off on a tangent, since I am pretty much done with comparing the preamps in my system.
Before, we veer off on that tangent, the bottom line is that the VK-53SE is a significant improvement over the VK-52SE, especially in the area of dynamics and well worth the coin to upgrade. As much as I like the VK-42SE, I preferred the VK-52SE. I have not heard the VK-43SE and am unable to offer any comparison where that preamp stands in the hierarchy.
Although I have my VK-42SE up for sale, I am very seriously considering holding onto it and creating a secondary system with it for my boob tube. The VK-42SE is just that good.
