Product Details

Product Overview & Specifications

The Reference V2 Pre Amplifier is an award winning Flagship Pre Amplifier. 

Music First Audio's new preamplifier has full 60 position transformer attenuation, remote control on source and volume.

Theres 60 x 1dB steps of attenuation plus a mute setting via a series of, low noise, low contact resistance, small-signal instrument grade relays. The 60 position RX63/60 attenuation transformers are mounted in separate shielding cases mounted at right angles, on a double layer of rubber isolation.

There are six pairs of inputs via any combination of RCA or XLR and four pairs of outputs via any combination of RCA or XLR.

The ear.net's Chris Beeching said :

"As for listening enjoyment: well, it hits the top of my list with considerable ease. It conveys detail, emotion, dynamics (yes, absolutely no hint of any compression at all) and deals with all the oh-so-subtle small nuances so very easily that even though you dont notice them, somehow they inform the overall experience just that little bit more.

Recommended? Resoundingly, and without qualification, yes. If I could afford one (I rarely say this) I would buy it. Sadly my circumstances are such that its beyond my reach. However, having had the sheer pleasure using it Im not looking forward to the day Jonathan comes to collect it. I think the Reference V2.1 will become a benchmark product, and Id encourage you to give serious thought to auditioning it. Even if you cant afford one it will let you hear what a great preamplifier can do and give you some idea of what to aim for."
