Up for sale is a Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) VK-P5 Phono Pre Amp.
Model:
VK-P5
Cart Compatibility:
MM and MC
Switchable Gain: Low 50dB, High 61dB
Upgrade:
This unit was factory upgraded by BAT in 2012 with the VK-P10SE output stage upgrade (a $600 upgrade at that time) which provides an additional 5db gain over the baseline VK-P5. As a result it uses the same tube compliment as the "SE" models (not the 2x 6SN7 and 8x 6922 configuration that the baseline VK-P5 uses). Tube Compliment: 4x 6922, 4x 6C45, 2x 6SN7
Color:
Black
Condition:
8/10
I could not find anything beside a little paint that was rubbed off around the top screw at the front of the top cover. Barely visible, if at all.
