BUI - Guilty

OK, how many of us are guilty of buying under the influence?

My story:

I took last Friday off and was listening to some music after partaking of a newly legal substance.  I was thinking how my system would sound with a quality tube preamp.  Thinking turned to surfing, turned to an auction ending in a few minutes.  So with about 10 seconds left, I threw in a bid a bid as a lark and wound up winning at a super reasonable price.

Guilty, i'm now the proud owner of a preowned, recently serviced BAT VK-30SE.  Should be here by the weekend.

So what you in for?

Ok, I just got the BAT presmp, I only had time to unbox it.  I think I hit the jackpot..  The unit was checked out and serviced by BAT earlier this month, and the repair invoice also had a new set of factory tubes included.

Hopefully I can set it up later tonight.

I think I'm going to get small before shopping for a new amp when I'm ready.  It sure worked out great this time :).

*L*  Watch out, VZ....Just because you 'hit on the audio Lotto' doesn't ensure the 2nd round. ;)
Take the time (and the next buzz event) to research that amp. *G*
Pick a 'top 3' and enforce Patience.
Anything good in the used marketplace almost demands such.

Approach it like a Vegas impromptu wedding; Sure, it might work out.

Like the man said:
"You feeling Lucky, punk?"

That one went really bad...*L*
