Balanced Audio Technology VK-80i Integrated Amplifier (OPEN)
Balanced Audio Technology VK-80i Integrated Amplifier Fully balanced triode architecture, automatic bias, high-current 6C33C-B power tubes The graceful industrial design is based on BAT's flagship REX 3 system, and incorporates many of that series' technological advances.Delivering 55 W per channel, the 6C33-B triode output tube offers many times the current delivery of the 6550/KT90 variants usually used in tube amps. This means you get the natural harmonic texture and instrumental timbre of triode design with no loss to bandwidth and dynamics, offering finesse, inner detail, and scale. “Fuse-less” protection circuit for enhanced sound and user-friendly operationIn the event an output tube becomes over-stressed, all you need to do is turn the VK80i off and on again to restore normal operation. The elimination of internal channel and tube fuses contributes to a greater sense of ease and more natural reproduction of music. Intelligent auto-bias designThe advanced engineering within the
