Overview
RIAA equalization correction is what this small preamp supplies, so a turntable can feed a system with no phono input. It has dual RCA inputs, a ground terminal and two sets of outputs, including a small stereo jack.
The extra stereo output adds flexibility for headphones, a recorder or a computer interface, and the compact body is easy to place. The listing gives no dimensions, no gain figures and no cartridge type guidance, so match it to the cartridge before buying.
Who it's for
Turntable users connecting to a powered speaker, a mixer or an amplifier with only line inputs. Anyone with a receiver that already has a phono stage does not need this unit.
Pros and cons
- RIAA equalization built in
- Ground terminal included
- Two output types
- Cable and adapter included
- Dimensions not listed
- Gain and cartridge details missing
- Needs a wall socket for the adapter
Performance notes
A turntable cartridge produces a very small signal with a built in frequency tilt, and the RIAA stage restores a flat tone while raising the level to line level. The ground terminal removes the hum that a turntable can cause when it is not grounded.

Frequently asked questions

What is in the box with the VP29?
The description lists the phono preamp, an external power supply and a 3 foot 2 RCA male to 2 RCA male cable.
Can I plug a turntable into a normal line input instead?
The description says the VP29 is for systems that do not provide turntable inputs, so the preamp is what makes the connection work.
