Description
The M3x Vinyl is a fully discrete phono stage with no op amps in the signal path and a split, semi passive RIAA equalization network without global negative feedback. It accepts moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, with adjustable loading and capacitance plus a 6 dB gain boost. The toroidal transformer is mounted away from the amplifier circuits to keep hum and noise down.
Highlights
- Fully discrete circuit with no op amps in the signal path
- Moving magnet input with 50 to 400 pF selectable capacitance and 40 or 46 dB gain
- Moving coil input with 25 ohm to 1.2 kohm selectable loading and 60 or 66 dB gain
- Selectable RIAA or RIAA/IEC equalization
- Toroidal power supply mounted away from the gain stages, with zero standby consumption
- Steel chassis with a heavy aluminum front panel, made in the EU
