Description
For sale The Balanced Audio Technology (BAT) VK-P12SE SuperPak is an all-tube, fully balanced, zero-feedback phono preamplifier for high-end audio systems, known for its exceptional soundstage, detail retrieval, and flexibility in cartridge loading. It was a top-of-the-line model when introduced, with an MSRP around €15000.
This phono stage is in absolute top condition, original packaging box available. Original 230V version.
Key Features & Technology:
The VK-P12SE SuperPak incorporates several advanced engineering features that distinguish it from standard phono preamplifiers:
All-Tube Design: The unit utilizes a ten-tube complement (4x 6922, 4x 6C45, 2x 6SN7) in an all-tube, zero-feedback design to provide a warm, natural, and highly detailed sound.
SuperPak Technology: The "SuperPak" is a second-generation power supply upgrade that replaces electrolytic capacitors in critical gain stages with large-value oil capacitors, which Balanced Audio Technology claims offers a more open sound and coherent musical texture.
Transformer-Coupled Output Stage: This design choice, in place of traditional output capacitors, results in a purer signal transmission, improved gain, and better drive capability.
Selectable Step-Up Transformers: Second-generation step-up transformers offer a significant improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (up to 20dB) for low-output moving-coil (MC) cartridges, providing up to 80dB of total gain.
Balanced Architecture: The phono stage is fully balanced from input to output. For optimal performance, using a balanced phono cartridge and tonearm configuration is recommended.
Flying RIAA Network: This passive, differential RIAA equalization circuit offers precise RIAA curve matching (typically within 0.1dB error) and improved common mode noise rejection.
Cartridge Loading Flexibility: The unit offers extensive flexibility in cartridge loading, with selectable resistance (100 to 47k ohms) and capacitance (0 to 1000 pF) settings to optimize performance with various cartridges.
SPECS :
- Tube complement: 4x 6922, 4x 6C45, 2x 6SN7
- Inputs: 1x RCA and 1x XLR
- Outputs: 1x XLR
- Gain at 1kHz: Direct low, 45dB; direct high, 60dB; step-up high, 80dB
- Resistance (ohms): Selectable from 100 to 47k ohms
- Capacitance (pf): Selectable from 0 to 1000
- Dimensions: 19″ x 5.75″ x 15.5″
- Weight: 43 lbs.
