About the Musical Fidelity V-LPS
Top-notch sound without the frills
Top-notch sound without the frills
Don't judge this book by its cover! Inside the plain black metal exterior of Musical Fidelity's V-LPS lies a high-end, precision-made phono preamp ready to reveal layers of musical detail and dynamics hidden within your favorite vinyl recordings.
If you're plugging your turntable directly into the phono input of an amp or receiver, you may be missing out on a lot of sound. That's because many manufacturers use low-cost, low-performance circuitry that sounds flat and lifeless. The V-LPS solves that problem. It boosts and equalizes the tiny voltages coming from your 'table's phono cartridge to deliver a robust, line-level signal infused with rich, multi-layered sound. You'll experience the solid "thwack" of a timpani as the mallet strikes home, and thrill to the shimmering reverberation of strings and cymbals as they echo off the concert hall walls. Your music will come to life with new levels of energy.
The V-Series difference
Like all of its V-Series siblings, Musical Fidelity chose to put all the money on the the V-LPS's insides where it really counts instead of spending big bucks on a fancy-looking exterior. That means you get the premium-quality performance of a component many times its cost for a bargain price.
The V-LPS features virtually ruler-flat response, extremely low distortion, and very low noise. Plus, its inputs are compatible with either moving magnet or moving coil cartridges, to ensure easy plug'n'play hookup with virtually any turntable and cartridge combination.
