BAT VK 52se pre amp.
Four years old, in perfect condition, all balanced, sounds fantastic, incredibly low noise floor. The valves have 1000s of hours life left. manual, remote + packaging.
Selling as I am trying to reduced size of system, looking for a pre with built in phono. Audition welcome.

It is the business. it's the best valve pre-amp I've ever heard, and it has all the benefits of fully featured remote control. About as far from the hairshirt minimalism of some valve designs as one could hope to get. The one I heard sounded epic in Than son's system fronted by a Wadia cd player and his 500 Watt Leema Altair monoblocks and Magico speakers.

It looks like the pre Darth Vader would use.

Balanced-line technology is the way to go. Would be interested - were it not for complete satisfaction with my (balanced input/output) Mark Levinson preamplifiers.

Good luck with the sale.
