Title: Is Anyone listening to a BAT preamp or the PS Audio BHK preamp?
Post by: kentj1948 on 5 Apr 2019, 09:15 pm

I would like to hear the the BHK preamp or any of the Balanced Audio Technology preamps in a similar price range, tube or ss.  If anyone is using any of these preamps and would let me listen to their system, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.  Kent Johnson 636-399-8053.

Check out the PS Audio forums.  Quite an experienced group, but of course fanboys for PS Audio.

I own a BAT VK51se preamp and love the sound.  The stereophile review is spot on.  It is very dynamic, tremendous bass, slightly dark and not overly tube sounding.   The newer versions are more refined.

I preferred it over my Pass Labs X1 pre.  I am using the BAT with a Pass X250 amp.
