VG preamplifier does what he should, he amplifies the signals of my ELAC 900 turntable, without any background noise, such as hum etc.The playing records made with a Sony Receiver STR-DH720 and floorstanding speakers. The pre-amplifier (not supplied) from a power supply with Supplied electricity. About a USB port v. Computer of Vvstärker can also be operated, also works. Storing records on the computer is possible with a supplied software (mini CD), not quite so simple. I like this unit, the delivery was carried out fast and well packed.
