Your comment pretty much describes the difference, while the MK II seemed to plumb the bass deeper with more definition, the VT 200 being no slouch, I felt the MK II lost a little soul.Note this is my opinion, but to me the original VT 200 was/is more organic. I was told the MK II "upgrade" was mainly done for reliability versus sound improvement. Based on my two failures, blown tubes taking out ancillary parts, this may hold water. ARC fixed quickly and cheaply, main issue is transportation cost.
