Balanced Audio Technology VK-32 Vacuum Tube Balanced Stereo Preamplifier BAT Excellent@!

Balanced Audio Technology VK32 Tube Preamp in excellent condition. I,m the second owner of this fine piece of equipment. Always in a smoke and kid free environment. It performs perfectly and also has a new set of cryo treated tubes installed. 
(6 -Gold Pin EH 6922 and 2 -Mullard 6L6GC).
This is the same preamp we used at AXPONA 2015 where many stated one of the best sounding rooms at the show!

AXPONA 2015 Silnote Audio Room Report:

"As I mentioned earlier, Doug Schroeder and I agreed that one room in particular stood out for its extraordinary sound, sound that owed in no small part to the extraordinary cables used to configure the system: the Silnote room. The system that Silnote's approachable proprietor and chief designer, Mark Williams (along with his charming assistant and fiancé) put together, seriously seduced my tired ears for a second year in a row. Their delicious system came within shouting distance of winning my "best sound at the show" designation.

Look for a review over the next several months. Oh, and my deepest apologies to the Silnote team in advance, but I was so taken by the exhibit and the great sound coming from this room that I forgot to take photos. Mea culpa!"          Jeffery Brown , Stereo Times

 The VK32 uses the same 6922-based voltage gain stage as the VK31, but it has two significant improvements. First, the power supply has been converted from solid state to tube rectification, giving the VK32 the added purity of a tube current source. Second, BAT has made significant improvements to other areas of the power supply used in this model. The stock VK32 uses the 5881 tube in the power supply, but there are two other optional configurations. If the owner wishes a less warm, more analytical sound than that provided by the 5881, it is possible to purchase and plug in optional X-PAK boards which provide the capability to use either the 6C19 or 6H30 tubes as current sources. This allows every VK32 owner to customize the sound to match personal taste and/or the characteristics of the rest of the system. There are also performance enhancements such as the SUPER-PAK, SIX-PAK, and upgrade all the way to the VK32SE which can be purchased with the original unit or as later upgrades.
