| Balanced Audio Technology (Bat) Vk33se @bluethinker - Nothing but love for the VK-255SE. I used tube amps most of my life (now 70). Audio Research Classic 60, VT-100, VT-100 Mk-III, two Almarro low-power amps. I've concluded that tube amps, as good as they are, tend to homogenize textu... | |
| Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices. Sounds like a monster opportunity for the new Western Electric factory. Hope they can step up and put U.S.A. tubes back on the map. | |
| Balanced Audio Technology (Bat) Vk33se Current user. Best Pre ever owned. Can’t rate it highly enough. Have seen these for sale for $4500. BAT just doesn’t do well on the used market. Highly resolving and extremely musical. Also use the VK-255SE amp. Top quality. Where are you located? | |

| What was the craziest location that you made an audio purchase from? Working in The Sears Tower (mid nineties), got the bug for some MM cartridge which was available at a small Hi-Fi shop in a western Chicago suburb. Took the train after work and was dropped at a small commuter station about a mile from the store. ... | |

| Advice on how to liquidate system Considering the traumatic nature of the event, I'd consult an acupuncturist and possibly a hypnotist. Your hearing loss may be your body trying to protect itself. Could be worth a try. | |
| Advice on how to liquidate system Who is responsible for the accident? Sustained on the job? Sounds like you need a Lawyer who can get you proper compensation including the cost of your system which may be useless to you now. Good luck | |
