"The VK-55SE’s advanced engineering eliminates traditional headaches associated with most vacuum-tube power amplifiers—specifically, the constant need to set and readjust the proper bias of the output tubes—as the VK-55SE features an intelligent automatic bias design that adjusts for changing line voltage and aging tubes, with each output tube having its own dedicated bias circuit. The auto-bias circuit also ensures that your VK-55SE sounds wonderful within the first few minutes of listening. Loaded with reference-grade improvements, the VK-55SE offers more magic by digging deeper into the raw emotional power that bestows music with transcendent grace and absorbing detail." - Balanced Audio Technology
