Description
The MX-VYNL is a fully balanced, very high performance phono
stage, able to operate with virtually any moving coil or moving magnet
cartridge. With both traditional RCA inputs and our unique XLR fully balanced
connection the MX-VYNL can be connected to 2 turntables simultaneously.
The MX-VNYL offers a wide range of input impedance settings
for moving coil cartridges as well as several capacitance settings for moving
magnet units. Unlike many of our competitors units the MX-VYNL allows easy
adjustment of these settings while playing. This allows easy experimentation
and tuning to find the optimum setting for all your equipment.
The MX-VYNL also includes our renowned RIAA correction that
offers extremely accurate results to beyond 80kHz. That may sound extreme, but
there is a good deal of information above 20 kHz that needs correction. If it
isn’t corrected, it will show itself as ringing and overshoot.
With both extraordinarily low noise and exceptional overload
margin the MX-VYNL can comfortably handle even the most demanding of cartridges
and satisfy the most discerning of listeners.

I’ve been searching for quite some time to find a phono preamp that fits my needs and pleases my ears. After going through a handful of phono preamps, I’ve finally found a long-time keeper.
The Musical Fidelity MX-VNYL has me hearing things in many of my records that I haven’t heard before. I absolutely love what this little beast does for my vinyl listening enjoyment.
If you like to switch cartridges and use both MC and MM, the MX-VNYL makes it a breeze by placing the cartridge loading on the front of the device and you can judge which loading sounds best on the fly. I never could compare loading settings on my former preamps because it took to long to change the settings and this made it nearly impossible to make comparisons.
I don’t think you can get any better for under 1K. I believe Pro-Ject has acquired Musical Fidelity. I hope they don’t ruin this jewel of a preamp.
