BAT - VK-31 TUBE PREAMPLIFIER W/REMOTE

This item is a Demo!

The VK-31 is the much-anticipated replacement of the already highly regarded VK-30 preamplifier. The VK-31 offers not only the latest industrial design as found in Balanced Audio Technology's reference VK-51SE preamplifier, but incorporates new flexibility in ordering configurations, as well as significant component upgrades that dramatically improve the performance of this world-class product. The component changes incorporated into the VK-31 are based on the same technology used in BAT's reference VK-51SE preamplifier.

The VK-31 features:

Vishay bulk-metal foil resistors replace the already high quality Caddock resistors in the plate-loading circuit.

Vishay bulk metal-foil resistors also replace the standard metal film resistors as the shunt element in the volume control circuit.

The new front-panel of the VK-31 is a beautifully sculpted modern design that is now available in either a two-tone silver and black color or all black at no additional charge.

And finally, the new VK-31 allows the customer to add optional Six-Pak and Super-Pak modules to further enhance the dynamic performance of this compelling new addition to Balanced Audio Technology's tube preamplifier lineup. Optional remote as well as phono-modules further enhance the VK-31's convenience and versatility.

With all these improvements, the VK-31 yields a substantial improvement sonically over the former VK-30. Transparency, dynamics, and top-end extension are remarkably enhanced. And yes, all VK-31's can be fully upgraded to the VK-31SE!
