M6 Phono

About the M6 Phono

The M-6 Phono Pre Amplifier from Audio Note UK is designed for maximum linearity and minimal transient distortion, avoiding negative feedback loops. It features an exceptionally fine Moving Magnet phonostage using three 5670 valves, followed by a 7044 equipped line stage. Both sections are powered by their own dedicated 6X5 valve rectified power supply based on the M10 Galahad PSU, incorporating ECL82 for voltage regulation and 5651 for voltage stabilization. The circuit uses Audio Note UK silver wiring, 1 Watt tantalum resistors, SILMIC filter capacitors, and copper foil signal capacitors. Custom in-house designed output transformers feature UHiB double c-cores with copper primaries and silver secondaries, supporting both single-ended and balanced outputs. The M-6 Phono also includes a dedicated stepped attenuator for each channel, providing precise channel balance and volume control. It operates in pure Class A, zero negative feedback, single-ended circuit topology for superior sound purity. The unit weighs 16 kg and measures 140mm high, 440mm wide, and 410mm deep. It supports AC mains input of 100-120V or 220-240V at 50/60Hz. The M-6 Phono is a flagship model representing Audio Note UK's commitment to high-quality valve audio design.
