The Cary Audio VT-500 is a premium vacuum tube phono preamplifier designed for discerning vinyl enthusiasts seeking the purest analogue playback. Crafted with precision and passion, it brings warmth, depth, and authenticity to every record in your collection.

At its core, the VT-500 uses four 6SL7 dual triode tubes to deliver rich, natural sound with outstanding clarity. Its passive RC circuit ensures precise RIAA equalisation, while a fully regulated power supply in a separate chassis guarantees ultra-low noise and maximum channel separation. Two high-quality step-up transformers provide ample gain for any moving coil cartridge, maintaining exceptional signal purity and dynamic range.

With selectable loading options for both MM and MC cartridges, the VT-500 allows fine-tuning to match your system perfectly. Built for those who value craftsmanship and sonic excellence, it captures the emotion and texture of true analogue sound.
