Rolls VP530

The VP530 phono preamp combines the sweet luscious sounds of the VP129 with USB connection. The USB output makes it easy for you to download your vinyl collection to your computer or hard disc server. Put it on your iPod or other portable music player, and enjoy your irreplaceable vinyl at the seashore!

The VP530 employs a sophisticated Burr-Brown PCM2901EG (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) chip in a smartly designed Bellari circuit. This gives you a digital data stream that is output through USB. Audio recording software is included with the VP530, but you can also easily find a freeware program online to record and edit your music.

The VP530 lets you select RIAA equalization or skip it. You can output a flat data stream and set whatever curve you like. You can also choose your own sampling rate and format.

The Bellari Rolls VP530 may be cutting edge. But it also excels with vacuum tube circuitry based on a design from 1937. So you can be sure that the Bellari delivers golden-age stereo sound.

The VP530 is designed to amplify an RIAA equalized phono signal and works with magnetic pickups and high output moving coil cartridges. Its smooth, natural sound is surprising enough considering the low price tag. But there's more! It includes a built-in high-quality headphone amplifier with level control for the ultimate in private vinyl listening. It also incorporates a variable output level, a rumble filter, and a mute. That's a lot of capability from a compact phono preamp.
