Sold Balanced Audio Technology BAT VK-300xSE w/ phono & remote *PRICE DROP

Has Been Sold
Here is a very nice Balanced Audio Technology / BAT VK-300x Special Edition hybrid integrated amplifier, including adjustable phono stage (MM & MC). Tube preamp with solid-state class AB amp. Easy 9/10 condition. A superb sounding integrated amplifier! Only selling due to medical bills.

New capacitors in the preamp section. Recently upgraded with Mundorf Supreme Silver/Gold/Oil caps. This was per Victor Khomenko's suggestion when I bought the amp last year. This brings the amp closer in spec to the VK-3500, as they're virtually identical inside.

Sovtek 6H30 tubes installed are the highest "ARC grade" (lowest microphonics) from Upscale Audio and have about 300 hours on them. Replaced at the same time as the new caps were installed.

It continues to make me very happy, and I really do not want to sell (especially with the upgrades I did recently). Just these pesky medical bills keep hanging around.

Wasn't expecting the Mundorf caps to take this amp to the level it's at now, but they did. I use this amp daily and it never fails to amaze me. I wouldn't mind having this amp stick around for the long haul.
