Posted Wednesday, September 19, 2007 by Erik I bought this little unit for temporary use when I got a Goldring turntable. I eventually bought the Bellari VP129, which is way better. The VP29 gets easily overloaded during loud passages causing unpleasant distortion, especially if you're playing rock music. If you're just getting into vinyl and you're on a budget, overlook this unit and go straight for the VP129, which is a great preamp at a very affordable price.

Posted Sunday, April 10, 2005 by John Greenstreet I recently bought a new 7.1 channel A/V receiver that, unlike most, actually included a phono input. Digital and other line-level sources sounded fantastic, but it seemed that all my vinyl had lost its magic. One of the most obvious problems was that the existing phono stage didn't have enough gain, so I often had the volume all the way up, which meant there was also a lot of noise from the amplifier itself.

This unit solved all my problems. The gain is very high, lowering the overall system noise floor, and the response is ruler-flat. Now my entire collection sounds better than ever before. An added bonus is that I now hear (and feel) ultra-low bass that was simply not previously evident. I shudder to think how much more one would have to spend to audibly improve upon the performance of this preamp.
