Musical Fidelity LX2 LPS MM/MC Phono Amplifier - Silver

Musical Fidelity LX2-LPS MM/MC Phono Podium - Silver The LX2-LPS is the new baby from Musical Fidelity. A high quality flexible MM/MC phono stage with adjustable impedance and excellent technical performance. Housed in beautifully detailed and handsome metalwork, it is the epitome of understated elegance of high class. We designed it for reference-level listening so that it is flawlessly accurate and true to the input. The goal in life is to give you music as the artists and producers intended: nothing more and nothing less. The critical elements of a phono stage are: accurate RIAA, low noise, low distortion and overload margin. Technical PerformanceMusical Fidelity's RIAA correction is known for its predictable and consistent accuracy. The LX2-LPS accuracy is ±0.25dB 20Hz-20kHZ, also it extends to 45kHz so that no overshoot ringing. This results in absolutely clear high frequencies without intermodulation or other distracting deviations. The noise ratio at both MM (better than 82dB) and MC (better than 72dB) is excellent and virtually inaudible at any volume setting. Unless you're a half deaf headbanger. But then I don't expect MF's sophistication and subtle would be your thing altogether!The LX LPS distortion is vanishingly low, usually less than 0.007% over the audio band. Simply put, it is virtually impossible for a real cartridge to overload it.As we all know, nothing is perfect, but the LX2-LPS comes very close.
