MX-VINYL – Phono Stage

The MX-VYNL is a Fully balanced, configurable, high performance phono stage.

The MX-VYNL is a fully balanced, very high performance phono stage, able to operate with virtually any moving coil or moving magnet cartridge. With both traditional RCA inputs and our unique XLR fully balanced connection the MX-VYNL can be connected to 2 turntables simultaneously.

The MX-VNYL offers a wide range of input impedance settings for moving coil cartridges as well as several capacitance settings for moving magnet units. Unlike many of our competitors units the MX-VYNL allows easy adjustment of these settings while playing. This allows easy experimentation and tuning to find the optimum setting for all your equipment.

The MX-VYNL also includes our renowned RIAA correction that offers extremely accurate results to beyond 80kHz. That may sound extreme, but there is a good deal of information above 20 kHz that needs correction. If it isnt corrected, it will show itself as ringing and overshoot.

With both extraordinarily low noise and exceptional overload margin the MX-VYNL can comfortably handle even the most demanding of cartridges and satisfy the most discerning of listeners.

REVIEW & AWARDS

“The MX-VYNL retains the refined sound of its predecessor while making several noteworthy improvements. Accomplishing this at a lower price makes the MX-VYNL a great value in the world of phono preamplifiers. If your listening room has a suspended wood floor like mine and your preamplifier or processor provides balanced inputs, the MX-VYNLs balanced outputs will allow placement of your turntable wherever it is least susceptible to footfalls without worry of noise or signal loss between the MX-VYNL and the rest of your system. The only challenge you may face with the MX-VYNL is finding the proper cable to connect it to a turntable with balanced outputs, but such cables are available if you look. ” – Isaac Adams
