M2Tech Nash MC/MM Phono Preamplifier

Description

Nash MC/MM Phono
Preamplifier

Dedicated
preamplifier/equalizer for turntable cartridges

The Nash is a dedicated preamplifier and phono equalizer for
every cartridge model. It is provided with two phono inputs, one for low-level
MC cartridges and one for medium-high level MC cartridges and MM cartridges.

Its FET-input, all-discrete components circuits feature
vanishingly low noise and plenty of gain, allowing for a stunning 2.5Vrms
output with 5mV on MM and 170uV on MC. The passive RIAA is implemented with
high precision polypropylene capacitors.

MC interface paramenters (input impedance and MC pre-pre
gain) are set by potentiometer from the rear panel. As well, MM interface
parameters (input impedance and capacity load) are set by DIP-switches, again
from the rear panel.

The Nash is provided with a Bluetooth BLE interface for
control and configuration. An Android (and soon iOS) app will allow user to
fully control the unit and set the configuration parameters. A comprehensive,
continuously updated pickups database will make configuration faster and
easier.

You control the Nash by the front panel encoder, using the
remote control or by the dedicated Android app via Bluetooth. Operation data
are displayed on a high readability OLED display. A menu allows for setting
parameters like: anti-rumble filter, MM input stage gain, etc.

Two auxiliary line-level inputs make the Nash a hub or
switching box for analog sources, an interesting add-on when the Nash is used
together with the Young MkIII, to fully exploit the latter’s only analog input.
A Young MkIII-Nash-based system may have a total of four analog sources: two
phono and two line-level.

The Nash noise and sound performance can be further
increased by replacing the stock wall adaptor with the Van Der Graaf MkII Low
Noise Power Supply.

Nash works great together with…
Young MkIII DAC/preamplifier
…for a complete analog/digital front-end.
Van Der Graaf MkII Low Noise Power Supply
…to reach higher peaks of sound quality.
