VK-80i Integrated Amp
6C33C-B Triode Output Tubes with Fully Balanced Signal Path
Delivering 55 watts per channel, VK-80i uses four 6C33C-B triode output tubes for power delivery. They offer many times the current delivery of the 6550/KT90 tetrode tube variant used in most traditional tube integrated amplifiers. In addition to driving even difficult low-impedance speaker loads, the all-triode fully balanced design provides a natural portrayal of harmonic texture and instrumental timbre. Your recordings will sound more alive while simultaneously yielding greater finesse, grace, and inner detail.
“Folks, it felt like I needed to buckle up and hang on tight, as this “BAT mobile” sounded far more powerful than a comparable KT88 amp. It went through its gears without changing its sonic character. In fact, it was hard to tell when it redlined. There was no perceptible textural grain or brightness even when it was driven hard.”
— Dick Olsher, The Absolute Sound
“The VK-80i is a remarkably insightful listen, with an enviable talent for delicate detail and butter-smooth soundstaging. ”
