The Vacuum State JLTi (also known as JLTI or JLTi) Mark III is a boutique phono stage developed by Vacuum State Electronics, featuring advanced hybrid tube/JFET circuitry for both moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM) cartridges. It employs zero negative feedback, two-stage passive RIAA equalization, and is part of Vacuum State's lineage of tube preamps praised for superior sonic performance. Earlier versions originated in Australia with manufacturing later handled by Vacuum State. The design emphasizes low noise, wide bandwidth, and precise channel matching for exceptional stereo imaging. It integrates with systems like the SVP-2 preamp and has been reviewed as competing above its price point.
