Incoming ... New Preamp

Today, I finally pulled the trigger on a new preamp. Bought a BNIB BAT VK-33 line stage to match up with my VK-225se power amp. This will supplant my 16 year old VK-3i which will be used in a second system. Yes, I know that the VK-33 was discontinued recently, but I got a pretty good deal and I dig the BAT sound. Music has been my solace in the last year since my Mom passed from COVID and my wife and I contracted it ... I had pneumonia on top of it, and almost didn’t make it out of the hospital. Thank goodness for Remdesivir! So, I figured I’d go for a new component as it has been made very clear to me that there’s no guarantee of tomorrow for any of us. Might as well enjoy while the going is good.

Sorry for your loss 😔😥

On that topic, my Mother has kidney disease and a very low GFR. This means she's very close to being on dialysis permanently. My Grandfather just had a stroke last week, but thankfully he is now stable. I don't know you, but I hope things improve for your family. 

I actually had to look up that gear...Sounds fantastic I'm sure. Really top notch based on what I've read.

Enjoy...
