Check out the Airtight ATC1 phono preamp for sale; it is a very nice unit.
VTL 5.5 questions
Would the 5.5 be a significant upgrade to the 2.5?
Is the phono stage respectable?
I'm looking for a single box pre/phono stage. I like the having a tube pre, but don't necessarily like tubie sound. The VTL house sound appeals to my rock/punk nature. I plan on purchasing a VPI Scoutmaster/sds in the near future and it's my feeling that the 5.5 will compliment the VPI, and will have a similar sound to my Wadia 301. So what do you think?
Current system:
Classe CAM 200
VTL 2.5
Wadia 301
Tannoy 301
LP12/Ittok/Benz Micro L
Monolithic PS1 modded
