Bellari

"The Bellari seemed to create a sound that was rich natural and appealing. Surface noise was low, and the music emerged from a crisp quiet background. It was an excellent sound by almost any standards; one I was very happy to listen to. The bane of cheap vinyl reproduction is excessive brightness/harshness. The Bellari sounded focussed and articulate, but rich and warm too - with an attractively full bass and sweet open mid-band." --

vp 130
The vp 130 is a tube phono preamp with a built in headphone amplifier for use with moving magnet and high output moving coil cartridges. The vp 130 is designed to amplify an RIAA equalized phono signal to a hi level signal. Since the unit utilizes tube circuitry the resulting output signal is more warm and musical than solid state preamplifiers. The real kicker aside from the price and stellar sound is that it's manufactured in the US.

vp 530
The vp 530 is a usb/tube phono preamp for use with moving magnet and high output moving coil cartridges. It includes a built in headphone amplifier, burr-brown analog to digial (A2D) converter with usb output, and RIAA curve/flat EQ. The vp 530 is designed to amplify an RIAA equalized phono signal to a hi level signal or provide a usb digital output. Since the unit utilizes tube circuitry the resulting output signal is more warm and musical than solid state preamplifiers. The real kicker aside from the price and stellar sound is that it's manufactured in the USA.
