BELLARI VP130 VP 130 TUBE PHONO PREAMP The amazing Bellari VP129 phono preamp has been updated to the Bellari VP130 with a new switching power supply that accommodates 100-240 VAC. The sound quality continues to be amazing! The Bellari phono preamp received one of the highest recommendation in Stereophile October 2008! This one-tube wonder manufactured by Rolls Corporation in the USA was placed in the same performance category as some of the highly-regarded and expensive phonostages: Audio-Research PH-5 ($2495), Ayre P-5xe ($2500), EAR 834P ($1595), Eastern Electric MiniMax ($1499), Chord Symphonic ($5500), Whest Audio whestTWO ($1895) and more... "The Bellari looks great and it sounded as good as it looks. It was quiet, and golden-sweet and liquid in the midrange as you'd expect from a 12AX7-based phono preamp." " The Bellari gets my highest recommendation, and is the budget phono preamp I will now recommend for every genre of music. Its sins are strictly of ommission and it worked well as a headphone amp too. Well done—and a genuine bargain!” - Michael Fremer, Stereophile, Vol.29 No.2 See full Stereophile review. "...the bargain of a lifetime (tube) phono preamp" is the headline in Jim Hannon's review of the Bellari. -Jim Hannon, The Absolute Sound, January 2006. See full TAS review. The above reviews are a fitting summary of the Rolls Bellari phono preamp. It truly is an amazing tube phono preamp. Amazing for its feats of musicality, skimpy price, and professional build quality. It stands alone when compared to other tube preamps up to twice its price point. Also since it's designed for professional use, it is solidly built to withstand the rigors of the trade. Designed to RIAA equalize and amplify the small signal generated by a magnetic phono cartridge to a hi-fi line level signal, the Bellari VP130 is intended for use with moving magnet and high output moving coil phono cartridges only. The resulting output signal while not flawless is rich, full-bodied and musically gratifying. About 50 hours of use are required to bring out its true high performance.

The Bellari seemed to create a sound that was rich, natural and appealing. Surface noise was low, and the music emerged from a crisp, clean, quiet background. It was an excellent sound by almost any standards; one I was very happy to listen to. An excellent performer at a very reasonable price!”  - Jimmy Hughes, HiFi+, Issue #38.
