Edwards Audio MC6 Phono Stage

The MC6 is a high-performance MM/MC phono stage from Edwards Audio, designed to deliver exceptional musical insight, dynamics and ultra-low noise.

Hand-built in the UK, the MC6 is a true one-box solution with an internal low-noise linear power supply, dedicated MM and MC stages, and a carefully engineered RIAA equalisation circuit using passive treble and active bass topology. The result is a coherent, open and natural presentation that rivals — and often surpasses — far more expensive designs.

With adjustable gain and loading, a fully discrete Class A output stage, and non-magnetic all-aluminium construction, the MC6 is a refined, no-compromise phono stage for serious analogue systems.
