MUSICAL FIDELITY MX-VYNL

The Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL is a phono preamplifier designed to ensure virtually universal compatibility with both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges. Thanks to the presence of traditional RCA inputs and the exclusive fully balanced XLR connection, the MX-VYNL allows simultaneous connection of two turntables, offering great flexibility of use.

This phono stage provides a wide range of input impedance settings for MC cartridges and several capacitance options for MM cartridges. Unlike many competing models, the MX-VYNL allows easy adjustment of these parameters during playback, facilitating optimization and fine-tuning according to the specific characteristics of each system.

The MX-VYNL also incorporates an exceptionally precise RIAA correction that extends well beyond 80 kHz, a feature that may seem extreme but is essential to correct sonic details above 20 kHz, preventing unwanted ringing and overshoot.

With extraordinarily low background noise and exceptional overload tolerance, the MX-VYNL can confidently handle even the most demanding cartridges, satisfying the expectations of the most discerning listeners.

The construction utilizes the latest surface-mount device (SMD) technology, ensuring reliability and high performance, while the elegant and refined design reflects Musical Fidelity’s attention to detail and overall product quality.
