“The MMP3 barely ever revealed itself in the music or on my equipment rack. It didn't add or subtract noticeably from the character of the transducers it amplified.”
— HERB REICHERT, STEREOPHILE
An upgrade in quality does not have to deplete your wallet. The Soundsmith MMP & MCP Mk II preamps are revolutionary designs for their price - and the comments Soundsmith gets at each hi-fi show prove it. These preamps are what it uses to demo its cartridges.
Each handmade preamp circuit is housed in a high-quality aluminum case, powered by an external DC power supply, with easy to set up instructions. All amplifiers have extremely accurate RIAA equalization response.
