Manufacturer Musical Fidelity

The M3x ViNYL is designed to be a limitless phono stage amplifier, offering straightforward connectivity with an input and an output that cannot be overloaded or limited in driving capacity. It supports both MM and MC cartridges with exact loading options. The M3x ViNYL provides state-of-the-art technical and sonic performance similar to the M6x ViNYL, but at a more accessible price point, capturing the essence of high-end audio.

Design Philosophy

Like its higher-end counterpart, the M6x ViNYL, the M3x ViNYL uses entirely discrete circuitry for better technical measurements and improved sound quality. It features one single-ended input and output.

The Advantage of Discrete Circuits

Discrete circuits consist of individual electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and transistors, unlike integrated circuits that use operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. While Op-Amps are efficient and space-saving, extensive listening tests have shown that even the best Op-Amps lack the neutrality, naturalness, dynamics, and vividness characteristic of the Musical Fidelity sound. Discrete designs, though involving hundreds or thousands of components and a longer design process, deliver superior sound quality.

Toroidal Power Transformer

The M3x ViNYL features a special audio transformer with low core saturation to reduce electromagnetic radiation, crucial for proper phono amplifier operation. The combination of transformer placement, electromagnetic shielding, and a high signal-to-noise ratio ensures optimal performance. The M3x ViNYL also includes a proprietary power supply solution with zero standby power consumption, making it an environmentally friendly product.

Split Passive EQ

Unlike many phono stages that use a single equalization network in a global feedback loop, the M3x ViNYL employs split passive equalization in separate amplification stages without global negative feedback loops for its RIAA curve. This design ensures more accurate EQ curve representation, better impedance matching, and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA curve.

High-Tech Mechanical and Electrical Engineering - Hand Made in the EU

The M3x ViNYL features a steel chassis and a thick, heavy aluminum front plate, providing rigidity and isolation from outside interference. The large chassis design maximizes the distance between the power transformer and the amplifier section, maintaining high signal-to-noise ratios. The high manufacturing standards, including hand-wired electronics and a beautiful exterior finish, are achieved by producing the M3x ViNYL entirely in the EU.
