The Bellari VP130 is a compact tube phono preamp featuring a 12AX7 vacuum tube output stage that provides a warm and natural sound signature. It is compatible with moving magnet (MM) and high output moving coil (MC) cartridges. The unit amplifies an RIAA equalized phono signal to a high-level output and includes a built-in headphone amplifier with independent volume control. It features a switchable rumble filter to eliminate frequencies below 20Hz, a mute switch that silences RCA outputs while keeping headphone output active, and individual output level controls for both RCA and headphone outputs. The chassis is made of steel for durability and shielding. The VP130 is hand-built in the USA and is praised for its musicality, low noise, and value for money, making it a popular choice for audiophiles seeking tube warmth at an affordable price.
