Balanced Audio Technology is back with a vengeance and their
latest VK-3000SE integrated takes no prisoners. Featuring
their signature look, the VK-3000SE features a linestage designed
around the 6H30 super tube that made BAT famous.
With 150 watts per channel of solid-state power on board, the
VK-3000SE comfortably drives nearly any loudspeaker. The optional
phono module in our review sample rounds out the package, making
it a perfect choice for the music lover wanting the sound of expensive
separate components, without spending a five figure sum.
HIGH PERFORMANCE ANALOG
With over a century of combined experience working
with analog, we decided to embark on building a new
collection of high performance analog products for
distribution in North America. In addition to outstanding
sonic and build qualities, we also require each
product to possess high value. This does not mean that
we shy s away from the exceptional and more expensive.
Instead, this means that every product we work with is
available for a fair and consistent price relative to
performance.
At the foundation of our analog offerings is Dr. Feickert
Analogue from Germany. We have worked with Chris
Feickert to create new high performance and unique
packages that are specific to our North American market.
Each of our new models are available in standard high
gloss piano black lacquer or in an upgraded rosewood
finish. Performance is at the heart of each of these new
turntables.
