A review:

In summary, there are several features of the VK-500 that make it different than most other amplifiers. These are (1) an enormous power supply; (2) the fully balanced design; (3) the use of N type MOSFETs rather than P and N; and (4) having only two gain stages. Scientifically speaking, I could not say which of these features is more important than the others in making the amplifier sound so good. I would estimate, however, that number (1) is most important, followed by (4), then (2), and (3). But that is only a guess. In any case, the VK-500 has all four features, so the question is moot. In my opinion, the VK-500 is one of the finest amplifiers ever designed.

Questions for the seller
Hello, How did the binding post get bent? What the amp dropped? Also does this amp have the BAT-PAK? Thanks!
The amp came with the post that way and has not effected anything as I have used it driving my Magnepan 20.7's. NO BAT PAK. if it did; the listing would have started at $2,500. Thank you for your interest.
