Musical Fidelity Ml ViNL (£700)

摘要

Whether you're an audiophile on a budget or you have deep pockets to fund a seriously high-end system, it's likely that Musical Fidelity has a range of products to suit. MF's ever expanding M1 series sits above the entry level V series and offers a choice of half-width separates in well made cases, based on its more expensive M3 and M6 models.The ViNL is new to the M1 range and, thanks to push button controls and a backlit screen, looks more like an all-singing DAC than a phono stage. The front panel sports an on/ off switch; three buttons for MM selection and resistance/capacitance options; two buttons for MC duties; and a button to switch on IEC roll-off. Circuitry is based around MF's classic kWP Tri-Vista preamp and features a specialised Texas Instruments microphone chip. The RIM equalisation circuit is buffered by a low output impedance op-amp.
