Audio Note M8 RIAA Signature Phono Stage

The M8 RIAA Signature is a two box 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. Due to the size the power supply is housed in the same size box as the main unit.

Parts quality is exceptionally high, as you'd expect, with 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.
