If a seller wholesales his BAT gear so be it.
I own both the VKD5 CD player and the VK50SE preamp.
Both bought used at what I thought were great prices for the quality. There's alwas going to be a "new and improved" model no matter what the brand. Trick is to find the ones that are really "improved".
IMHO, lots of new gear today is the same wine in a new bottle. I listened to a pair of $30,000 line sources today at a dealer. Were they better than my 17 year old Infinity RS1's.....NO.
I went home with a smile on my face, wallet intact. Your mileage may vary!
