BAT VK5 Tube Preamp - Help...

Looking for thoughts, comments or suggestions on this unit. What is the sonic characteristic of this preamp specifically highs, mids and low end. Are there any issues with the older VK5? What is the best tubes to use with them. Thanks

I've owned the VK5, VK5i, VK30, and VK30SE. The original VK5 doesn't give up much, if anything at all to the VK5i, or any of the BAT preamps. Recently observed a used VK5 for sale @ $975. If this is the reason your interest in one has peaked, I'd grab it quick before it's gone...that's a give away if I ever saw one.

Enjoy!
