Bellari VP549

Comparing it to my Pioneer VSX 5900S, it's a great amplifier from the 90s, and there's not much of a difference, which is a good thing, because back t...

Rolls Bellari VP549 PhonoPre Amplifier. VP549 PhonoPre has excellent true sound resolution.

I have an evo and also upgraded to a moonstone. I went with the Bellari vp549 because having switches on the front seemed easier than on the bottom with the

I've had this for a couple of weeks now and I am not completely sold on this preamp.
