Designed with separate, fully discrete low-noise MM and MC input stages, the VP3 features independent rear-panel DIP switches for precise resistive and capacitive loading, allowing exact impedance matching to any phono cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VP3 features dual rear input banks that allow two turntables (or a dual-tonearm setup) to remain connected simultaneously, with source selection toggled directly from the capacitive front touch panel. Equipped with selectable RIAA and IEC RIAA equalization curves, four gain modes, a mono summing switch, and balanced XLR plus single-ended RCA outputs, the VP3 operates from an internal shielded toroidal power supply with multi-stage shunt voltage regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES \u0026amp; PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Independent MM\/MC Input Stages:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated, isolated input circuitry for both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges preserves low signal noise and channel separation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual Turntable Connectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect two turntables or dual tonearms concurrently and toggle between them via the front touch panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustomizable Cartridge Loading \u0026amp; Gain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear-panel DIP switches allow independent adjustment of resistive loading, capacitive loading, and four distinct gain settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable RIAA \u0026amp; IEC RIAA Equalization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes standard RIAA curve and IEC RIAA curve options (incorporating a subsonic filter to control low-frequency warp rumble).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMono Mode \u0026amp; Balanced XLR Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a selectable Mono summing mode for vintage mono pressings, along with gold-plated RCA and balanced XLR output stages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShielded Internal Power Supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom fully shielded toroidal transformer with discrete shunt regulation physically isolated from sensitive phono preamplifier boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMirrored Channel Topography:\u003c\/strong\u003e Symmetrical left\/right circuit layout ensures maximum channel separation, precise soundstage width, and dynamic clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"I happily put album after album on and simply enjoyed the listening experience...
