VTL TP-6.5 Signature Phono Stage w/ MC step-up option

Top of the line VTL Reference Signature Phono Stage with upgraded setup-up transformer option.
This is the model used by VTL to demo their best equipment at recent audio shows, including
the RMAF 2013 best-of-show megabuck setup at the Hilton.
Very quiet, spacious with a very neutral tone - but still has the roundness of a tube amp.
Read about the design on the VTL website.

The TP-6.5 is also one of the most flexible high-end phono preamps available, which enables you to get the most out of whatever cartridges you have.
Features:
1. MC input 1 - hybrid JFET/tube with gain variable in five steps from 44db to 68db
2. MC input 2 - step-up transformer/tube suitable for common low-gain cartridges
3. Variable loading in 8 steps from 100 to 47k ohms
4. Mute switch
5. Phase Inversion switch
6. Rumble filter switch

All options above can be controlled from front panel or the remote control.

I bought this unit from the original owner 9 months ago, who bought it new from VTL early 2009.
All functions work perfectly and there are no marks on the case anywhere.
I am grading it an 8 since I am the second owner.

Selling this phono stage, along with my preamp and power amp, to downsize to an integrated w/phono to finance an expensive speaker upgrade.
