About the Classic Copper MKII

The Music First Audio Classic Copper MKII is a passive preamplifier that uses transformer volume control (TVC) with high purity copper wiring in its transformers and internal connections. It is designed to provide an open, natural, and uncolored sound, preserving the purity and dynamics of the music without adding gain or coloration. The MKII model features upgraded TX102mk2 transformers with a 25% larger core than the original, improving level handling and low-frequency response. It offers 24 volume levels and can be configured with a +6 dB step-up option via dual primary transformer windings. The Classic Copper MKII typically includes multiple RCA inputs and balanced XLR inputs, with outputs configurable for single-ended or balanced connections. It is a compact unit, known for its speed, clarity, and ability to reveal musical detail without smearing or distortion. The preamplifier does not include a remote control by default but one is available as an option. The Classic Copper MKII is highly regarded for its transparency and natural sound, making it suitable for audiophiles seeking a pure passive linestage solution.
