By combining world-class performance with flexibility and features like auto-bias, the VT80SE has been an amp that is easy to take home and just forget as you enjoy your music collection again for the first time. T\u003c\/span\u003ehe VT80SE expands on the phenomenal performance of the original VT80 with the addition of KT150 tubes instead of KT120. The KT150 improves on sound quality and life span, unparalleled at 3000 hours.\u003cbr\u003eThe auto-biasing capability of the VT80SE allows for the use of other tube models also; KT120, KT88 and the 6550.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sonic improvements will you hear with the \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eVT80SE\u003c\/span\u003e?
