About the TP-6.5 II
The VTL TP-6.5 Series II Signature Phono Preamplifier is a flagship analog product featuring hybrid JFET/tube circuitry for ultra-quiet operation, advanced shunt regulators, and massive low-impedance power supplies for superior MC stage performance. Available in two configurations: standard MC/MM inputs at $15,000 or MC/transformer-coupled MC inputs at $18,000 using Lundahl transformers (59dB SE/65dB balanced gain). It offers fully balanced differential design, user-selectable loading, remote control for functions like mute, rumble filter, mono, phase, and precise timbral neutrality with excellent dynamics and bass control. Improvements include gel capacitor technology for lower noise and better low-output cartridge handling.
