Balanced Audio Technology (Bat) Vk33se


This preamp looks very well built and I have some interest in it but can’t find any reviews. There is very little info out there besides upscale audios Kevin Deals YouTube review.
Has anyone here listened to this pre? Does anyone here own it?
Can someone here please share thoughts of the vk33se sonics?
Thx

Current user. Best Pre ever owned. Can’t rate it highly enough. Have seen these for sale for $4500. BAT just doesn’t do well on the used market. Highly resolving and extremely musical. Also use the VK-255SE amp. Top quality. Where are you located?

BAT could be the most underrated brand out there. They don’t use fancy chassis, instead putting $ into what matters.

@dweller - I would love to hear your impressions of your BAT VK-255 SE amp. I’ve heard that it’s voiced to sound a bit like tubes, which would be appealing to me. I currently have a Linear Tube Audio reference preamp which I absolutely love paired with a 100 watt Audio Hungary tube amp. It’s a great pairing, but I’m interested in getting a solid state amp to avoid maintenance issues down the road. 

I found one review on the BAT VK-255SE amp which referenced a tube like tone with buttery textures, but was somewhat critical on some other items which I’ve now forgotten. 
 

I’d love to find a power amp that has a level of warmth to balance the detailed nature of the LTA preamp. Thanks in advance!
