In excellent condition with original double box, solid metal remote, owner's manual, power cable, a full set of Gold Lion 6H30-PI tubes and 7 spare BAT-branded 6H30 tubes. I've used it in my main system in a smoke-free home, on a well-ventilated rack, with appropriately high quality gear. Bought in 2011 from a dealer who took it in trade from the original purchaser.

This was BAT's flagship preamp until the release of the significantly more costly Rex. The ultimate in flexible user experience with 5 inputs, stereo/mono, polarity, memory storage for volume, balance and programmable display names all separate for each input.

See my 20yr+ 100% feedback on Audiogon, eBay, AudioAsylum all using same userID.

Demo available in Austin. Open to meetup w/ buyers from Houston/Dallas/San Antonio to avoid shipping.

Price is $600 less than the only comparable ad in the US, on Reverb.

Asking Price:   
USD $3300.00
Retail Price:   USD $9300.00
Payment method:   Paypal
Shipping weight:   45.00 (lbs)
Condition:   











9 - Excellent

Hello! I am interested, but need some clarification. The VK-51SE has a true mono? In mono can you balance left and right, cutting out the other speaker? I need to be able to A/B tweaks in drivers and crossovers.  I have a PASS X1 and it has a mono and balance, but do not work together, only for channel balance. I need to sell the X1 to get your preamp, if it works as required. Thank you, David.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. I rarely used mono and haven't tried that.

The preamp has a pending sale on another site, so I've got it boxed up or I'd test out your question.

Good luck with the sale!
