Connectivity is straight forward. You have an input and an output. Neither of them can be overloaded at the input or limited in the output driving capacity. It can be set for either MM or MC and exact loading. It offers state-of-the-art technical and sonic performance just like the M6x ViNYL, but at a cheaper entry-level to the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M3x ViNYL has been switched, just like in its bigger brother the M6x ViNYL, to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one single-ended input and output. But the important question is: what is so special about discrete circuits?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is Musical Fidelity’s lowest price amplifier, it embodies our hallmark values of uncoloured, stress-free sound, outstanding technical performance and great value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry, we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe special audio transformer with low core saturation decreases the level of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential because otherwise, any phono amplifier will never be able to work correctly. Together with the distance between the transformer and amplification section and the electromagnetic shielding, we are creating an incredibly high signal to noise ratio. If we are working with the few hundreds of microvolts from a phono cartridge, everything is playing its role; every decibel of signal to noise ratio is crucially important. For the first time, we have implemented our new proprietary power supply solution that has zero standby power consumption. Absolutely zero! It is a super green product and we are sure, there isn’t any other product in existence with an ecological standby function like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit Passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other phono stages are using a single equalization network in a feedback loop. By means of an EQ network, the amplified signal from the output of the phono preamp is brought back to the input of the phono preamp. This is the before-mentioned feedback loop, and the results, as you can imagine, are not in accordance with the high standards in Musical Fidelity design philosophy. The M3x ViNYL uses split passive equalization into separate amplification stages without feedback loops for both of its RIAA and DECA curves. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve.

The tiniest errors have major effects, and the most careful signal processing has a particularly extensive impact on the sound. In addition, with our ROTATION turntable models and with our own AVM.3 Cadenza MC cartridges (made by Ortofon), we also have highly performant cartridges in-house. From this you can already guess which enormous care the development team with trained ears uses to build a sonically excellent phono preamplifier, which can also be combined with high end components at the very highest level. At AVM, we have not only built up decades of proven and world-renowned expertise in this area – our manufacturing methods also ensure extremely precise production quality in series production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PH 30.3 is suitable for amplifying the smallest signals from MC and optionally also from MM systems. Separate connections are available for this purpose. We have deliberately dispensed with sonically insufficient switches (so-called DIP switches). In order to be able to adapt the MC pickup system of your choice to the PH 30.3 ideally, 100\/200\/1000Ω load adapters are included. These load adapters are also equipped with gold-plated connectors and are thus effectively protected against aging processes (e.g. corrosion due to humidity). Please refer to the documentation of your cartridge system or ask the manufacturer to find out which load adapter is recommended for your system. Phono load adapters are plugged in parallel to the MC systems into the sockets provided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial features of the PH 30.3\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the PH 30.3, we rely on sound-optimized circuits from our repertoire and borrow from the current phono preamplifiers of the OVATION Line.

In contrast to the two predecessors P 1.2 and P 30, we now also use completely newly developed amplification circuits and employ new, exquisite and finely selected amplification components.

With 30 years' experience designing state-of-the-art discrete transistor circuits, we have built a phono preamplifier like no other. It is neutral, dynamic, and exceptionally revealing. We have used all our knowledge in amplification and applied it to one goal - To reach down into the record and reveal every bit of information. The V10 is designed to capture the sound. To get you closer to the music. To get you into the groove.\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListening to vinyl is a tactile experience. You carefully open the album jacket, remove the record from the inner sleeve, inspect for dust or scratches, place it on the platter, and slowly let the needle drop to let the sound out. It is all about you and your music, selected for exactly this moment. With the V10 we aim to make this special experience even better. Developed from the ground up and utilizing truly clever and unique technologies, the V10 will give you an unprecedented transparency and soundscape - Making the music you hear as tangible and real as the record it is pressed into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe achieve this because everything on the V10 is designed with the sole purpose of making your music sound as good as possible. The chassis is divided into two compartments, physically separating the power supplies from the sensitive amplification circuitry. There is simply no detectable interference between the two parts. For the best possible connection, we have fitted the V10 with gold-plated terminals, balanced XLR outputs, and a solid custom grounding screw. On the all-important input stage, we have used ultra-low-noise discrete JFET transistors for both the Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) input. Eliminating external noise is especially important when using sensitive low output MC cartridges. That is why we have fitted the MC input with four such transistors connected in parallel. Making the input completely silent and stopping any bias current feedback to the cartridge coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe input signal feeds into equally silent amplifier circuits, where both the MM and the MC gain stages use ultra-low-noise power supplies built with discrete bipolar transistors to keep the signal noise at a minimum. This ensures an extremely accurate amplification of the input signal coming from the turntable. And to make sure the V10 gets the best operating conditions, it is supplied with a linear, low noise, analog AC-power supply. This features a large, custom design, E-core transformer, placed in its own housing to eliminate all possibility of interference. For us it has been particularly important that all vinyl enthusiasts get to enjoy the V10. So, out of the box it is configured as an excellent plug and play MM preamplifier. For many, this is exactly what they want and need, but some want even more. That is why we made the V10 highly optimizable, catering to individual preferences and requirements in set up, the V10 can be adjusted for any MM and MC cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen using a MM cartridge, you can freely increase the Capacitance between 100 and 467 pF and when using a MC cartridge, the impedance can be set freely between 33 and 550 ohms or fixed at 47 kohm. On both MM and MC, the gain can be increased by 5, 10 or 12 dB, matching the output of your other sources, the V10 even has a Subsonic Filter to remove unwanted low frequency noise. And at the end of the night, when the listening session takes you way past bedtime and you forget to turn off the V10, the adjustable auto standby function does that for you. All this makes the V10 the perfect companion for your vinyl setup. Finding the perfect synergy between your system and your listening preferences.
