I'm not sure if he upgraded the VT100....

before trading it to the VT130 SE. I do know that he did upgrade the VT130 SE with Infinicap after.
As I said, they were both even in reproducing the highs and the midrange frequency responses. But the VT130 SE was much better in resolving the bottom end. In terms of imaging and soundstaging, again the VT130 SE was much better in this regard while driving the WP5.1 speakers. As it did a excellent job in helping the Wilson speakers made the walls, floor and ceiling disappear, while listening to Patricia Barber Cafe' Blue cd in his listening room.
Compared to my D-250, the VT130 SE sounded a little anemic and cooler, rather than visceral and organic however, the top octave frequency response of the VT130 SE was much better as the D-250 tends to roll the highs off a tad earlier.
BTW, I could lived happily with either one of them.
