Bellari VP-130 Tube Phono Preamp with Headphone Amplifier
Replacing the VP-129, the new VP-130 features a switch mode power supply for improved performance!
A wonderful value oriented phono stage, the Bellari VP-130 offers outstanding performance for the price. As an added benefit, the VP-130 includes headphone amplifier with volume control.
It's a simple unit, with a modest 30dB of gain, designed for moving magnet cartridges. The rumble filter is a nice addition and will tame feedback, suppress rumble and reduce sensitivity to footfall-induced low frequency problems.
"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 happy to listen to.
"The bane of cheap vinyl reproduction is excessive brightness/harshness. The
Bellari sounded focused and articulate, but rich and warm too - with an attractively full bass and sweet, open mid-band." Jimmy Hughes, Hi-Fi+,
