Music
First Audio Passive Preamplifier
Introduction:
Reviews from leading audiophile magazines
have declared the MF Audio Preamplifier the
best on the market, surpassing the performance
of active preamps more than three times the
price. Read on to see why this preamplifier
is the best addition you can make to your
system and at an entry-level price.
"The
Music First did what a preamp should do: it
enabled my digital sources and my power amps
to perform at their best" (Stereophile)
"It's a veritable high-end audio bargain
... the best Preamplifier ever made"
(Hi-Fi World)
Features:
The concept of passive control units replacing
active line preamplifiers has existed for
some time. Conventional passive preamplifiers
have relied on resistive networks selected
with a switch or rotary variable resistors.
The fundamental problem with this type of
device is substantial mismatches of impedance
either at the source or the load, coupled
with a perceived loss of dynamics.
The
Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifier
overcomes these problems by using a high quality,
custom made, hand wound transformer. Only
the MF Preamplifier features the largest commercially
available 80% nickel Permalloy core transformers,
wrapped in a heavy duty Mumetal shielding
for protection from external magnetic fields.
These highly acclaimed transformers isolate
your components to match impedance, reduce
noise, and through superior level handling,
provide clean and detailed sound quality.
The MF Audio Preamplifier features, and uses
a transformer-based magnetic volume control.
Swiss made ELMA rotary switches are point-to-point
hand wired into the custom case using silver
coated wiring. Output levels are controlled
by multi-stepped transformers, offering vast
improvement over all previous methods of resistive
attenuation. It also offers two fully balanced
inputs; one set of XLR outputs, one set of
RCA outputs, plus four RCA inputs, and a 6db
gain switch.
The MF Audio Preamplifier is also available
as a Silver
Version
with pure silver wiring throughout, including
transformers, connections, and silver plated
phono connectors.
Reviews:
The
unit continues to receive astounding reviews
and awards by leading Audiophile magazines.
MF Audio was awarded Editors Choice by Hi-Fi
News in 2004, and in 2005 won Preamplifier
of the year!

• "...truly stunning
sound."
• "I noted exceptional
resolution and transparency. The sound was
very close to what I associate with top-notch
active preamps that cost several to many times
the price of the Music First. There was a
total absence of grain and hardness. The midrange
was simply lovely: smooth, delicate, natural.
The biggest surprise was the bass response,
which was exceptionally strong and tight yet
not overdone. The Music First did what a preamp
should do: it enabled my digital sources and
my power amps to perform at their best."
