About the KC Vibe
The Sutherland Engineering KC Vibe is a solid-state, stereo phono preamplifier for moving-magnet and moving-coil cartridges. It applies RIAA equalization and provides selectable gain and resistive loading, adjusted independently for each channel using supplied shunts. Its dual-mono circuit design is powered by an external 48 V supply, with passive filtering and isolation. The unit has single-ended RCA connections, a turntable ground terminal, and no power switch; it is intended to remain powered. The KC Vibe Mk II is a revised version with a narrower, deeper chassis and updated internal components. Manufacturer and dealer listings show the Mk II as a current product, so the original KC Vibe should not be assumed to be the same version.
