Audio Note M8 RIAA Phono Stage

At the heart of the M8 RIAA is an exceptionally fine Moving Magnet phono stage which uses three 5670  valves. This is followed by a 6463 equipped output stage, and both sections are powered by their own dedicated 6X5 valve rectified  power  supply based on the M10‟s Galahad PSU. These power supplies also incorporate an ECL82 for voltage regulation and a 5651 as a voltage stabiliser. Audio Note Silver wiring, Audio Note 2 Watt Tantalum resistors, Black Gate capacitors and Audio Note Silver foil in oil signal capacitors are used throughout the circuit, along with in-house designed  and manufactured output  transformers which feature HiB 50% Nickel double c-cores, Silver windings for both the primaries and for the secondaries which facilitate both single ended and balanced outputs. There’s a choice of either a brushed silver aluminium fascia or black acrylic available.
