TP-6.5 II

About the TP-6.5 II

The VTL TP 6.5 Series II Signature Phono Preamplifier is a major update to the original TP-6.5, incorporating circuit enhancements from the TL-7.5 Series III Reference Preamplifier and improved power storage for the active MC stage. It uses hybrid JFET/tube circuitry for quiet operation, multiple low-noise cascaded regulators, and shielded power supplies to deliver wide dynamic range, low noise, and accurate 4-corner passive RIAA equalization. It offers 68dB gain from balanced outputs and supports a wide selection of load and gain settings accessible via front panel and remote control. The design yields a wide and deep soundstage, realistic imaging, and controlled bass, with the ability to handle all cartridge types including a high-quality transformer MC step-up option for very low-output cartridges. The chassis is rigidly braced with steel and aluminum for EMI, RF, and vibration shielding, and all noisy components are steel shielded for low hum and interference. The phono stage is designed to provide a musical experience true to the source with massive headroom and low noise.
