Can you elaborate on the differences between the VK-P5 and VK-P10 phono-stages?
The VK-P5 and VK-P10 are based upon the same ten-tube dual-mono circuit. They also use the exact same tubes and the exact same power supply transformers. They are different in that the VK-P10 adds polarity switching, switch selectable step-up transformers, custom oil-capacitors in place of polypropylene parts, greater power supply energy storage, and a nine-pound resonance control plate to minimize chassis vibration. Because of its ability to engage the step-up transformers, the VK-P10 has a broader range of available gain settings and a lower noise floor, thus allowing for the use of super-low output cartridges.
