About the Voyager
The VPI Voyager phono preamplifier, introduced by VPI Industries around 2017, serves as an accessible entry into the VPI ecosystem for vinyl enthusiasts. Designed for synergy with VPI turntables but compatible with others, it features a two-stage JFET-based circuit using matched cascoded Linear Systems JFETS with servo control and a 75-microsecond passive RIAA equalization network. It offers two RCA inputs configurable as MM or MC, front-panel controls for input selection, gain (MM/MC), loading, capacitance, and mute function. The symmetrical single-ended design delivers purity, detail, and musicality, with reviews praising its value, low-end punch, balanced frequency response, and ease of use. Now discontinued, it retailed for $2,500 USD.
