Audionote m7 full#

This inductance is essentially loss less, and has no stray capacitance associated with it, which is the downfall of conventional inductor RIAAs as used in the original M10, and requires such circuits to function at a low impedance level of 600ohms requiring cathode follower drive, or suffer severe problems with unwanted resonance’s. PCB size 127x77 mm Epoxy fr4 double side. The M9 Phono stage uses a specially designed “RIAA Transformer”, where the usually unwanted leakage inductance between primary and secondary is utilised as a component in the RIAA equalisation. Tube 12au7 / 6922 ( set jumper) High voltage 200-230Vac 30ma. It is such a different sound, that we had to get used. It gained fame along with the legendary power amplifier ONGAKU. It took a while to find where the AudioNote falls into place. Classic M7 preamplifier was released in the late 1980s. We did not find a remote control in the box. This relatively speaking entrant of the originally Japanese brand has 2 x 10 watts, a phono pre-amp and of course line inputs.

Real reactive components, whether inductors or capacitors exhibit losses due to DC resistance, hysteresis and other energy storage effects such as dielectric absorption. AudioNote is of course an icon in the hi-fi world. Firstly the M7 phono preamp, the AN IO and Soara carts besides the. “The M9 Phono stage uses a new concept, that of the “Virtual Component”. Plus, I heard that now Kondo & Audio Note UK products sound pretty different.

The M9 is unusual in most respects, it’s main features are described, but now over to Andy Grove for the full low down, The stages were cascode followed by RIAA network, common cathode followed by selector, balance and volume controls, then common cathode direct coupled to output cathode follower. I also decided to sale my pair of Lamm ML1.1 and to keep my Audio Note P4 Balanced. After loosing my time with JBL and TAD speakers, I came back on what I appreciate the most, a pair of Audio Note speakers (AN E SPe HE). Found 200 records in Search of Tubes Asylum. The M9Phono is very time consuming to make and requires a very high degree of skill to put together, it takes about 140 man hours to manufacture, as a result production output is strictly limited and delivery time is almost always inevitable. The original Japanese M7 was a 4 stage phono preamp using 12ay7 (or, more accurately 6072WA) only. Some were better (as the wavac), but my old M7 was never ridiculous and keep usually the advantage on one parameter, the emotion.
