As a beneficiary of the stellar engineering used in BAT’s flagship design, VK-P80 also employs 10 tubes in a balanced zero-feedback configuration. Vacuum-tube current sources anchor the design to provide the true-to-life texture for which analog is renowned. Plus, its unique gain stage employs 6C45 vacuum tubes to achieve improved electrical performance, additional gain, and wide-open transparency. When it comes to versatility, VK-P80's dual-mono construction and enormous energy reserves are matched by extensive cartridge-loading flexibility. Your records, system, and emotional satisfaction will be greatly rewarded with VK-P80 in your analog chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDuo-Pak and Second-Generation Oil Capacitors Boost Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBalanced Audio Technology has used oil capacitors in its leading-edge designs for years. The oil provides proper damping to the capacitor so that the signal passing through it does not ring. While a non-oil cap can initially make music sound more exciting, the excitation comes from these ringing artifacts. Such ringing can make a violin sound strident and cause a symphonic recording to sound unnatural and metallic. BAT is pleased to introduce second-generation oil capacitors in VK-P80 for both the inter-stage coupling and the new Duo-Pak output stage. The result: A more open and dynamic portrayal of music that maintains BAT’s hallmark naturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694782111681_94\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-5 span-5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-e06c0a1822f0c07a4a1a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Flexibility and Sonic Transparency\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eVK-P80 employs a differential RIAA network, permitting ease of adjustment and improved common-mode noise rejection. The completely passive circuit has fewer components than a more traditional implementation, resulting in improved matching of the RIAA curve to specification. With the BAT Flying RIAA network, you can rest assured all of your records will sound the way that the engineer intended. Vacuum-tube current sources further improve the linearity and produce an addictively open, textured sound. And in VK-P80, dual 6SN7 vacuum tubes act as current sources for the second gain stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-12 span-12\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"53\" class=\"sqs-block button-block sqs-block-button\" id=\"block-7aa7485f8bad58f0801a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694782111681_125\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-button-type=\"secondary\" data-button-size=\"large\" data-alignment=\"center\" data-animation-role=\"button\" class=\"sqs-block-button-container sqs-block-button-container--center\" id=\"yui_3_17_2_1_1694782111681_124\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-ebc5beb92a95fc447853\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"21\" class=\"sqs-block spacer-block sqs-block-spacer sized vsize-1\" id=\"block-abe91ef804884990d7f7\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row sqs-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-4 span-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-fdea71b1888b9aaf1310\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuo-Pak second generation silver gold oil capacitors – 3.3uF per phase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Path\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilver gold oil inter-stage coupling capacitors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Feedback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1x RCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e1x XLR\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-4 span-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-8420cf2fbc080b0ba3c0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain at 1kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirect - Low: 50dB\u003cbr\u003eDirect - High: 57dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal to noise ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow Gain: 71dB\u003cbr\u003eHigh Gain: 73dB\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge loading\u003cbr\u003eResistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(ohms): Selectable from 100 to 47k\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(pf): Selectable from 100 to 1000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150 VA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col sqs-col-4 span-4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-type=\"2\" class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" id=\"block-279b3b507870c91e53df\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-block-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sqs-html-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube Complement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4x 6922, 4x 6C45, 2x 6SN7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply energy storage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e140 joules\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower consumption\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e150 VA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e19\" x 5.75\" x 15.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e36lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":51267942711577,"sku":"2527newBAT-0001","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":51267942744345,"sku":"2527newBAT-0002","price":6995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/BAT_VK-P80_Tube_Phonostage_1.jpg?v=1768989584","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/bat-vk-p80-tube-phonostage","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
