- Suitable for moving magnet, moving iron and high-output moving coil cartridges
- Recommended sensitivity range 1.5 to 10mV
- Fast-Active preamp and equalisation technology
- Inherent reduced vinyl click and pop characteristic
- Rock steady sound stage
- Truly 3D performance
- Convert to low-output moving coil by adding an Elevator EXP
The Reflex M phono stage preamp focuses on the perspective feel of the sound stage - designed to place sounds more accurately front to back as well as laterally between and beyond the speakers - the "musical distance" behind your speakers should indicate a greater perspective than their away-from-wall positioning would suggest.
The Reflex M uses our "fast-active" technology combined with a true symmetrical slew-rate, which unveils more of your music and at the same time, relegates vinyl nasties like clicks and pops, further into the background.
It is strong on tonal correctness and low on tonal distortion, rendering each instrument and voice in its proper register, underpinned with a detailed tuneful bass.
As with all our products, the Reflex M phono stage preamp should be left powered-up for its circuits to fully stabilize, and give the intended performance.
Although we also produce a Reflex for low output moving coil cartridges, you can couple a Reflex M with our Elevator EXP - an electronic step-up "transformer" for moving coils - to not only keep your cartridge options open, but to take your moving coil listening experience to new heights.
