Has anyone had the opportunity to hear this? It uses output transformers. It sure looks tasty. :)

Would be interested to hear more about the BAT VK-P12SE.

Very interested in this phono stage and folks' comments. Just unfortunate that you have to open the case to change the settings.

I use both the VK-P10 and VK-P10se w/superpak. Love them both, and would love to own the P-12se w/superpak. I leave the tops off both all the time so inside changes are a non issue for me. I can reach right in to the rack without having to un-hook everything. Are you planning on switching cartridges a lot?
I've used cartridges below .2 output and this is still a dead quiet phonostage even using over 80db of gain.
