Balanced Is Better
The VK-33 incorporates changes to its power supply formerly reserved for SE models. In addition, the signal is transmitted through only one gain stage and thus free from the negative artifacts attributable to most modern preamplifier designs.
Balanced topology provides a complete signal representation. Magic happens when you free yourself from a single-ended structure. Vacuum-tube current sources improve the linearity of the gain stage to yield a more open, textured sound.
For analog lovers, BAT's optional VK-P3 phono card provides switch-selectable moving-magnet and moving-coil gain settings. A proprietary electronic shunt volume attenuator ensures the volume is always right.
