Offered for sale is one Bellari VP-130 tube phono stage. I am the second owner, I ended up buying a different phono stage after I got this and never ended up using it.
As is well publicized with this product, there are two important upgrades.
First, the stock power supply is garbage and causes a very noticeable hum. The recommended replacement is the Radio Shack 15V Enercell with the M tip. This power supply is included.
The second recommended upgrade is using the Sovtek 12AX7LPS tube instead of the stock tube. The Sovtek is included.
Also included is a Telefunken 12AX7. I never tried this tube, but the box is marked "Tele smooth 840/839".
The unit is in like-new condition with extremely low usage, and all original packaging and paperwork.
Cross listed.
$225 shipped USPS Priority Mail in CONUS. Paypal as gift or buyer pays Paypal fee.

Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Price drop - $210 shipped.
This piece sells new for $275 on Amazon. It's very well reviewed except for the power supply and stock tube, with recommended upgrades to solve both issues. I am including the recommended upgrade parts with this purchase!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance. -

I'm a bit surprised this isn't moving. This is a popular unit and very well reviewed once the power supply and the stock valve are replaced, which I have done. I think I've got this priced pretty well, why is no one grabbing this tube phono stage?Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

Afraid I'm not looking for trades right now, in the middle of packing up to move and am trying to reduce the amount of stuff. Plus I wouldn't have time to try anything out right now, life is pretty crazy getting ready to move out of a house after 19 years!Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing.

NSpindel, as well as a heck of packer/shipper, is a stand-up guy.
Package arrived all safe and sound (get it) HAHAHA. I ran it upstairs
and started playing with it right away as the mancave is under construction.
Many hours of fun ahead. Thanks again!
