UNIT IS SOLD!!
The model is the 32 SE, “Special Edition” with extraordinary, musicality, power, & finesse: it runs 6 tubes as well as Dual Mono transistors and capacitor power supplies for each right/left channel. You also have tube-rolling options: since 2 tubes act as the tube current source, you can of the following 3 types of tubes for different sonic characteristics: 6C19, 6H30 Supertubes, or 5881 tubes. The other 4 tubes are the 6H30 tubes which further drives that power section. I am currently the 6c19s (recommended by BAT) currently with excellent results.
See the Pics with top cover off of the preamp. Also, in the top right pic of the side of the amp you will see a Black Circle, which is what I drew in Aperture to try and highlight a blemish in the middle of the circle. {To be clear, the Black Circle is NOT actually on the unit}. And a couple light scuffs on the right side, on the volume knob and right above the knob. The scuffs generally go unnoticed, b/c you have to highlight them to see them, like in the flash pictures at the link below. Thats why I have rated this 7/10, b/c a 8/10, per US Agon guidelines, should have a "perfect" face. Its not technically perfect, so have to rate 7/10 per rules. The preamp runs perfectly, new owner will be pleased.
I’m in the Santa Cruz area, but might be able to drive and meet the buyer if they are in the SF Bay Area.
thx, Gary ..... FYI: I have 100% positive feedback on Agon, eee-Bay' and other sites (photo gear).

I am the second owner, I bought locally from original owner and have had 2-3 years now. This preamp has really been the heart and soul of my system, but recent layoff from work forces sale. Comes with original accessories including solid metal black remote control which originally costs $500. Stock power cord. All serial numbers match, e.g. the preamp = the owners manual = BAT original box. Will be double-boxed for safe shipping. Tubes working great. Other options: A Phono section can be added by BAT, per BAT owner/designer Viktor Khomenko.
Price reduced to $2800 and will split fees/shipping/handling with buyer
