Unconditional Satisfaction GuaranteeNo Shipping Fees Above 302 Months to Decide. Returns Simplified.The VK-P12SE is fully balanced from input to output. It features an all-tube zero-feedback design that combines the benefits of balanced operation with complementary vacuum-tube current sources. Dual-mono construction and enormous energy reserves are matched by extensive flexibility in cartridge loading. The first gain stage achieves a very low noise floor by using premium Vishay Bulk Foil resistors that replace metal film resistors in critical circuit areas.
The output stage employs four powerful high-current 6C45 vacuum tubes for improved gain and better drive capability. The SE model of the VK-P12 includes BATs venerable Six-Pak of output capacitors with custom-designed output transformers.
Among the benefits of the VK-P12SEs differential RIAA network are ease of adjustment and improved common mode noise rejection. This circuit is also completely passive and has fewer components than a more traditional implementation. The ease of factory adjustment translates into improved matching of the RIAA curve to specification, with an RIAA error typically not exceeding 0.1dB! With the BAT Flying RIAA network, you can be assured that all of your records sound the way that the recording engineer intended.
Step-up transformers provide as much as a 20dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio. With up to 80dB of gain available, no signal is too small. Totally state-of-the-art, the VK-P12SE SuperPak pays priceless dividends on your investment in vinyl.
