M6x Vinyl

Its a phono stage without any practical limits, it’s designed in such a way to ensure you cannot overload the input stage or encounter any practical limitations in the output driving capacity during regular use whether running in single-ended or balanced modes. It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM/MC and loading each also then remembering its own settings while offering state-of-the art technical and sonic performance at a very competitive price. It is the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.

While updating from the M6 Vinyl to the M6x Vinyl, we have switched to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one balanced input and output as well as two single-ended inputs and one single-ended output to fit well into any vinyl HI-FI system. The discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain.

Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money. The unit features three separate, independently selectable cartridge inputs. This allows choice between three different turntables, or multiple tone arm configurations if required.
