For your consideration, is this Balanced Audio Technology VK 51 – SE tube pre-amplifier. I am the third owner. The unit is in very good cosmetic condition. It is not perfect, if you examine the unit very very closely, you may find some minor surface imperfections. That said, there are absolutely no large dings, scrapes, or gouges that would be associated with careless ownership or poor treatment. I have tried to be extremely conservative with my appraisal of the cosmetic condition. This unit received a new set of tubes in early 2023. It sounds fantastic. I am making a more permanent move to a solid state preamp that I prefer, hence my reason for selling. As far as tube preamps go, to my ears, this is one of the best. Balanced Audio Technology manages to provide a little bit of the “romance “of tubes with the general focus of good power filtering and solid state presentation. There is definitely a distinct sound here and it is nothing but complementary to a variety of speakers and power amplifiers. I have a non-original Balanced Audio Technology box to go with this amplifier. I have the original remote control, and I have a printed copy of the manual. Please feel free to ask any questions, I am happy to help.

This Balanced Audio Technology tube pre-amplifier is the perfect addition to any audio setup. With XLR audio inputs and outputs, this 2-channel VK-51SE model delivers the highest quality sound. Whether you're looking to upgrade your home audio system or add some power to your studio setup, this unit is a great choice. All tubes were replaced by HiFi Sound in Minneapolis when I bought it in October 2021. Since then, it has been used for maybe 1,500 hours. So the tubes are in great shape. Comes in original packaging.
