I bought my BATVK30 preamp used here on AudioGon, having never heard or even seen one. Very much out of character for me, but I got so many glowing recommendations from the folks that frequent this site I took the plunge. Quite simply, it's the best preamp I've ever owned and will NEVER leave my system. I was so impressed with BAT, I then acquired a BATVK500 amplifier here as well. BAT gear is terrific stuff. I sincerely doubt you'll be disappointed. Jeff
Awesome preamp. In an A/B comparision it walked all over my $4000 pass labs preamp. This was when used with an ARC vt100m2 tube amp. The pass pre was a little better when matched with it's own aleph 2 amps. With tube amps, I think the BAT preamps are significantly better than anything I've heard.
