INTRODUCTION
Thank you for your purchase of the Bellari VP129 Tube Phono Preamp. The
VP129 is designed to amplify an RIAA equalized phono signal to a Hi-Fi level
signal, and is intended for magnetic pickups. Since the unit utilizes tube circuitry,
the resulting output signal is more warm and musical than solid state preamplifi-
ers.
