VKP-12 Phono Stage

[RoadDawgWest]

I've heard that Balanced Audio Technology is going to release a new Phono Stage called the VKP-12. I could not confirm this from their website. If this is true does anyone have pictures from CES, or specifications that can be shared?

Looks an logically path, following the other new models.
Have owned BAT in the past, and can report the VK-P10SE is one superb phono and offers all the features any Vinyl addict may wish for.
VK-P12 may be a step up in performance, but will need to be worked out very well since VK-P10 is still one of the nicest around.

jfrech,
Thanks for the link. BAT appears to be using a transformer output in the VKP-12. Still nothing on the website. I look forward to learning more about the new design.

Thinking about upgrading both my REX preamp and VK-P10 phonostage. I've owned both the P10 and P10se. Cant see me owning anything other than a BAT pre or phonostage.
How they get this kind of quiet, sonics, and it never breaks! (with this many tubes) is special.

Sold ALL my Bat gear and bought all Audio Research a year ago. Never looked back and was the best move I ever did. In my opinion there really is no comparison. BAT did a great job of getting the other high end manufacturers in gear
