About the M2 Phono
The Audio Note M2 Phono Pre Amplifier is engineered for sonic performance with a focus on preserving the purity of the incoming signal. It uses a single-ended, zero feedback circuit topology, which is the most linear design possible, demanding pure Class A valve operation and eliminating the need for a phase splitter to avoid crossover distortion. The M2 Phono features an ECC83 and 6DJ8 moving magnet phono stage, a 6SN7 line stage, and a valve-rectified power supply incorporating a 6X5 and an ECL82. It is designed to minimize non-harmonic and time-based distortions rather than just achieving low harmonic distortion measurements, aiming for maximum linearity and minimal transient distortion without feedback loops. The unit is phase inverting and built with high-quality materials and components to meet Audio Note's Level 2 criteria.
