Musical Fidelity LX2-LPS MM/MC Phono Pre Amplifier
Musical Fidelity LX2-LPS MM/MC Phono Pre Amplifier - Product Description
The LX2-LPS MM/MC Phono Pre Amplifier by Musical Fidelity is designed to take your audio experience to a higher level. The device takes the signal immediately after the pickup on your record player's tonearm and amplifies it to a useful level. This amplification process involves minimal signal loss, noise or distortion, resulting in a remarkable enhancement of sound quality from your vinyl records.
Flexibility to Handle MM and MC Cartridges
Notably, the LX2-LPS features both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input stage circuits. This makes it versatile and capable of handling the different output levels and loads associated with these two main types of phono cartridges. The ability to match with either MM or MC cartridges means that vinyl lovers get the flexibility to use the cartridge that suits their individual preferences without limitation.
Sturdy Construction and Minimalist Design
Demonstrating Musical Fidelity's meticulous attention to detail, the LX2-LPS exudes a robust and minimalist design. The pre-amplifier is contained within a sturdy, non-resonant aluminium case that shields delicate internal components from vibration and electromagnetic interference. Its front panel is minimal and intuitive, with easy-to-understand controls and switches that make operation a breeze.
Superior Input Stage Design
Equipped with a superior input stage design, the LX2-LPS is uniquely crafted to maximise sound performance. Each of its MM and MC input stages has its separate input socket and pre-amplifying circuit. Using low-noise semiconductors and high-quality polypropylene capacitors, the signal path of the pre-amplifier remains uncoloured, resulting in a crystal clear, highly dynamic sound that’ll make the vinyl listening experience even more enjoyable.
Exceptional Technical Parameters
Technical parameters of the LX2-LPS are designed to reach new heights. The device has an RIAA accuracy within ±0.5dB, which ensures precise reproduction of the vinyl's sound. No matter how diverse or dynamic your music collection might be, the LX2-LPS's wide overload margin and high accuracy translate to undistorted sound output and a fantastic listening experience.
