“Best non-speaker component upgrade I’ve purchased. Went from a Bellari Vp 130 Mk2 to the KC Vibe and the detail and soundstage improvement was instantly noticeable. Also a significant noise reduction; this unit is dead quiet. And built like a tank. Highest recommendation.”

“I could not be happier! For the last two days all I have done is listen to vinyl. I have played sone old albums and I am astonished how great they sound. I can wait till I get off work to come home and dig out some more.”

“Outstanding piece of gear! First off you will notice its solid construction. Built like a tank. More importantly, very quiet! That said, it did its job by faithfully amplifying the full range signal from my SoundSmith cart, which is a low output version. Previously, I was unfamiliar with the Sutherland products, but acted on Kat’s suggestion of the Vibe…..she was right on! And this is Sutherland’s entry level phono stage?? WOW…gotta wonder how much better it could get by going upstream in the Sutherland lineup. The only thing I could be critical about is the loading options….would liked to have a least one more between 470 ohms and 1,000 just to make certain that I am squeezing all that can come from SS cart.”

“This is an upgrade from a Bellari VP 130 MK2 . My son whose musician and a much better ears agrees that the KC Vibe is a “ big improvement “ . However, one complaint is the space between the RCA outputs are ALMOST too far apart. Came really close to returning it because if that this only four stars… But it sounds too good, so I’ll be keeping it. Thanks again to all the folks at Upscale! PS: Sean- love the REL T/5X Subwoofer ty again!”

“Terrific bang for the buck Bypassed the built in phono On my musical fidelity integrated so much more “music””
