BAT VK-32SE- any information?


I've heard from my dealer that BAT is coming out with a new preamp, the VK-32SE. MSRP is going to be around $8K.
There is no information on the BAT website about this preamp, but I found this at the Music Direct site.

Has anyone had an opportunity to give this a listen yet?
Do you have anymore information on it?

TIA,
John

Hi John,

September 2008, I replaced my Krell KRC-3 with a BAT VK-32SE preamp.

To hear the difference in my system, I played a track of 70's big band with Hammond B3 played with the Krell, then swapped out the pre
for the BAT.

The sonic detail and bass information that the BAT brought out was phenomenal!

A fellow audiophile say the system improved at least 20% with change to the BAT.

I am not sure if you were able to make move on one these, but I think it good sonic investment if you listen to music critically and for general pleasure.

Only thing I miss from the Krell is that BAT takes solid 60 seconds to warm up music from standby mode.

Here's a pic of the current system...
