BAT VK-200 Burn-in time?

Yeah, BAT [Viktor Khomenko] are great people to deal with. I had a VK3i once as well. Make sure you mate them using a true balanced interconnect.

Gunbei: I have it paired with a BAT VK-3ix and Gallo Ref 3's. Finding a new VK-200 took some tough internet searching, but a dealer in Miami had one. BAT told me they would give me the full warranty too, even though the product is discontinued. Gotta love that.

Shortage of funds forced me to sell some gear and return to the VK200 I had sitting in silence. I forgot how good this guy is.

What are you matching it with and how did you find a new one?

Have fun!

I used to have a vk 200 before I went to the BAT tube amps. You have a great amp. Say about 200 hours playing hard. I also used to leave mine on almost continuously. It seems to sound better after a hour of warm up...then another small notch after about 24 hours of being on...

Good luck..

about 15 minutes to 30 minutes for most tube gear....remember tubes don't break in on a bell curve, they break down over time (hopefully a long time).

I had a VK 500 for a while. If I remember correctly it
took about 50 hours for things to mellow down and loosen
up a bit. At 100 hours it was really beginning to sing.
Hang in there.

Not sure about burn in time. My vk-500 after quite a bit of use still took about 1/2 hr to "warm up" for a good listening session.
