per item
• XLR connectors for phono and auxiliary inputs (paralleled RCA inputs optional)
• Regulated high voltage standard with Mk3.3 iteration (this used to be a $700 option)
• 2-stage Constant Current Sources for each stage of gain (improves performance of each gain stage)
• Dual XLR outputs standard (RCA outputs optional)
• Patented direct-coupled Circlotronic® output
• Zero feedback design throughout
• Balanced differential passive phono equalization
• Precision 23 position stepped volume control built with 96 resistors on a custom built switch
• Two tape monitor inputs, tape functions use RCA jacks
• Precision components used throughout
• Total system phase switch
• Low-noise "star" grounding topology
Balanced line technology has been in use in the recording and broadcast industry for decades, and is why the high fidelity era began in the early 1950s, long before exotic interconnects existed. Balanced lines sound better than single-ended cables; are dramatically more resistant to RF, hum, cable artifact and cable length. The low impedance balanced line system is a means of preventing interconnect cables from having a sonic signature. The MP-3 supports this system, so you can run long cables with no need for exotic interconnects and still get exemplery performance.
In addition to its remarkable line section, the MP-3 works well with low-output moving coil cartridges and uses a minimum of connections in the front panel wiring and controls. A low number of gain stages (only three from phono input to line level output) insures low distortion, wide bandwidth and superb dynamic range. The result is a truly musical package of exceptional value.• Balanced Differential Design®
