The groundbreaking new audio technologies that VTL has unveiled over the past three years are now available in its latest Signature product: the new TL-6.5 Signature Preamplifier. “While it is always interesting developing cutting edge designs, what is really exciting and rewarding is to see what the technology will yield at lower price points” said Luke Manley, President of VTL. “With a more affordable price tag the TL-6.5 brings the unrivalled sound and unparalleled functionality of its Reference big brother to a wider market: We’ve taken the proven technology and sound quality of the critically acclaimed world-beating TL-7.5 Reference Preamplifier and scaled it into the single-chassis TL-6.5.”

Burmester 061 CD Player

The brand new Burmester CD-Player 061 is the little brother of the world-renowned CD player 001 and closes the gap between the Top Line CD-Player 001 and the Rondo Line CD-Player 052.

The 061 excites listeners with an extraordinary sound, warm musicality and, at the same time, its wealth of detail at once inspire and impress listeners. The perfect interplay between the modified, top-loading Philips transport, the upsampling function to 96/192 KHz, digital inputs and the elaborate analog filters should be an unbeatable combination among CD-Players on the world market today.


The new Burmester 052 CD Player excites listeners with an extraordinary richness in sound that hitherto could only be expected from their large transport/converter combos 969/970 and 979/980 and their CD player 001. Its warm musicality and, at the same time, its wealth of detail at once inspire and impress the listener. The perfect interplay between the modified Philips CD PRO transport, the upsampling function to 96/24 bit with the appropriate sampling rate and variable analog filters looks like an unbeatable combination among CD players on the world market today!

BAT VK-42se Preamplifier

Balanced Audio Technology is pleased to introduce the VK-42SE as a new reference in solid-state preamplifiers. The VK-42SE incorporates the same groundbreaking technology that first made its debut in Balanced Audio Technology's widely acclaimed VK-51SE tube preamplifier. The revised circuit topology of the VK-42SE incorporates proprietary oil capacitors in an all-new power supply SUPER-PAK to improve the transparency and top-to-bottom coherence of this class-leading preamplifier. This new SUPER-PAK augments a fully balanced all-MOSFET circuit design that uses a C-multiplier based power supply combined with Vishay resistors in critical signal path locations. In addition to numerous circuit revisions, the BAT VK-42SE incorporates SIX-PAK capacitor modules in the output stage to substantially improve the low-end authority over that of the already impressive VK-40 preamplifier. The fully programmable user interface remains very easy to use and is still considered one of the finest in the industry.

 

We are also pleased to show the Balanced Audio Technology VK-31SE, the evolutionary follow-up to their highly regarded VK-30SE preamplifier.This preamplifier utilizes the superlative 6H30 SuperTube, and a SUPER-PAK power supply, which doubles the power supply energy from the older VK-30SE! Dynamic and effortless, this preamp needs to be heard to be believed!
