All new and ready to set more records
It vividly and naturally recreates recordings and has a uncanny ability to compliment any turntable. The Bellari VP130 further defines its position as the price-to-performance world-beater, do-everything-well, high fidelity phono preamplifier. You need vacuum tubes in your life, and the 12AX7 tube in the VP130 is the perfect audio upgrade to your system.
“The
versatile 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. I wasn’t expecting its top end to be so
nicely extended, fast, and clean, or its bass to be so snappy,
articulate, and extended. Every type of music I played through the
surprising little Bellari sounded full-bodied and rich, yet detailed and
crisply rendered. The Bellari gets my highest recommendation, and is
the budget phono preamp I will now recommend for every genre of
music…get a Bellari and a budget turntable, and I promise that your CDs
will start to gather dust!”

“The
Bargain of a Lifetime Tube Phono Stage. For (this price), the Bellari
Tube Phonostage offers warm musical sound and may be just what the
doctor ordered for those who want to get into analog without loading up
the credit card.”
– The Absolute Sound
“I
was surprised by how attractive and well balanced it sounded: smooth
and warm, yet open and crisply detailed. 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!”
