Audiant VP3 by Perreaux

Unleashing a new dimension to your vinyl adventures - Meet the Audiant VP3 by Perreaux. A pioneering integration of Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) functionality, the VP3 preamplifier goes beyond just delivering sound—it recreates the essence of music with remarkable nuance and detail.

Seamlessly interfacing with your audio system, it produces low distortion, elevates dynamic range, and curates sound that is open yet intricate, revealing a transparent audial panorama. The heart of the VP3 pulsates with dual low noise input stages for both the MM and MC cartridges. Boasting discrete direct connections and integrated switches, it ensures minimal noise and maximum channel separation.

The Perreaux Audiant VP3 empowers you to connect two cartridges simultaneously and switch between them with ease from the front panel. Prepared for any audio system through balanced (XLR) and unbalanced output connections, the VP3 supports four different gain settings and offers the ability to switch between RIAA and IEC RIAA equalisation curves.

The preamplifier is further enhanced with selectable Mono input and a high-quality internal power supply embedded with a shielded toroidal transformer for unparalleled transparency, detail, and dynamics. What makes the VP3 truly unique is its slim, stylish build, complete with a sleek aluminium casing, sandblasted to perfection and clear anodised to endure the test of time. The front of this game-changing tech tool presents a touch of class with a minimalist black perspex touch panel.

In essence, the Perreaux Audiant VP3 is not just a brilliant preamplifier—it's an invitation to step into the transcendental realm of vinyl music experience.

Features:

  1. Slim & Stylish: Boasting an extruded full-width monocoque aluminium cover/front panel assembly, our VP3 is an embodiment of grace, class, and elegance. Beautifully sandblasted and clear anodised, it flaunts a minimalist black Perspex touch panel, fitting any listening environment.

  2. High Flexibility: The Audiant VP3 is engineered to cater for all high/low output moving coil and moving magnet, making it adaptable to your customized sound needs.

  3. Fully Customisable: With 36 rear-mounted user-accessible dip switches, the VP3 provides maximum versatility. In case you wish to change your cartridge, there's no need to change your VP3, it can be adjusted to match your new tastes.

  4. Two-Turntable Support: The VP3 supports two turntables simultaneously, each can be independently set up catering for different types of cartridges.

  5. Touch Panel Selection: Adding to the sleek look, the VP3 features capacitive touch panel selection of all front-panel functions - a turn-on/off feature and selecting between moving magnet, moving coil, and mono inputs.

  6. RIAA Equalisation Profiles: With the rear-mounted dip switches, users can switch between normal RIAA and IEC RIAA equalisation profiles, providing further customisation opportunities.

  7. Low Distortion & High Dynamic Range: Yielding a miniscule total harmonic distortion figure of only 0.002% at 1kHz @ rated output, the VP3 guarantees a faithful playback of your cherished vinyls, along with a stellar dynamic range.

  8. Balanced & Unbalanced Outputs: The VP3 furnishes both balanced and unbalanced outputs, with separate buffer stages to avoid interference or signal degradation during simultaneous use.

  9. Quality Internals: A fully shielded toroidal transformer integrated with shunt voltage regulation and filtering results in an ultra-low noise power supply, assuring finest levels of transparency, detail, and dynamics.

  10. Fully Mirrored Internal Layout: This layout strategy ensures maximum channel separation, further amplifying the performance.

  11. Trigger Input: For seamless integration into your existing audio system, VP3 is equipped with a rear-mounted trigger input for remote power control.

This has really elevated my listening experience as the playback is flawless every time. The integration through the app though is where this streamer excels. The app is lightning fast. The sound can be a tad bright with certain types of music however with the countless amount of EQ settings that can be adjusted and saved (differently) for each and every input provides the ability to get my right sound each and every time. paired with the Advance Paris A10 amplifier its perfect!
