X-LPSv8 MC/MM Phono Stage
The circuitry in the X-LPSv8 is similar to that used in expensive electronics. The RIAA is very accurate, the noise ratio is excellent and overload margins are good. Generally, its technical performance on both MM and MC is equal to some highly expensive stand-alone phono stages. Subjectives are personal, but we think that the X-LPSv8 will stand comparison with the best. It doesn't have a high price tag so many will not even look or listen to this little marvel. Forget the price and listen to the music.
Separate dedicated MM and
MC inputs. |
Allows use of either cartridge type for the best possible results. |
Wide overload margin. |
Extended headroom allows effortless handling of transients and dynamics. |
Sophisticated PCB layout, with very close attention given to optimising circuit layout, the result of 30 years' experience with phono. |
Low noise, low distortion and accurate RIAA gives a dynamic crystalline sound. |
Very low noise circuits. |
Maximum available dynamic range and low level detail resolution. |
