The enclosure is built from four separate extruded aluminum panels, from half an inch to two inches thick including the front baffle, each with an edgeless, shaped perimeter so that no sharp cabinet edge sits near a driver. The top plate is curved and pitched upward to control diffraction and internal standing waves. Magico mapped the panels with 3D laser interferometry and placed bracing and damping where the measurements said resonances were, and it rates the finished cabinet as 30% quieter than the previous S3. A thicker baseplate carries a three-point outrigger system with a new foot design that lowers the center of gravity and extends the footprint to 17 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe drivers are Gen 8 throughout. The tweeter is Magico's MB5FP 1.1-inch (28 mm) diamond-coated beryllium dome, up from 26 mm on the previous design, with a neodymium motor. The 5-inch midrange uses a honeycomb aluminum core with graphene and carbon-fiber layers inside and out, driven by an underhung neodymium motor with two extra-large magnets and a pure copper pole cap. The two 9-inch woofers use an enhanced Graphene Nano-Tec cone of the same construction, a 5-inch pure titanium voice coil, a copper cap and half an inch of linear excursion; Magico quotes bass output of 112 dB at 50 Hz, measured at one meter. The crossover's bass section is mounted in the baseplate and its mid\/treble section on the second brace, keeping the two apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News's Andrew Everard described the immediate impression as one of \"presence and three-dimensionality\" and found a vocal recording \"a real 'you are there' experience\"; he confirmed that \"without doubt, the S3 2023 can 'do bass'\". Paul Miller's lab report measured sensitivity of 86.7 dB at 1 kHz for 2.83 V, pair matching within 0.6 dB from 200 Hz to 20 kHz, a response error of ±1.7 dB over the same band, a minimum impedance of 2.85 Ω at 75 Hz and low distortion of 0.2% at 1 kHz at 90 dB. Jonathan Valin gave the S3 2023 a Golden Ear Award in The Absolute Sound, writing that \"the timbre and dynamics of the speakers were superb\" and calling it \"a truly great dynamic loudspeaker that competes with (and in some ways exceeds) the twice-as-expensive competition\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThose figures describe the S3's practical character: a sealed speaker with a smooth, gradual bass roll-off that is easier to place than a ported design of similar extension, and an impedance that drops below 3 Ω in the bass and therefore wants a solid-state amplifier with current to spare. Magico's recommended minimum is 50 W, but the S3 scales with amplifier quality well beyond that. Its 12-inch cabinet width, slightly below the S5's, and the 24 Hz rating make it the S Series speaker for medium-sized rooms where full-range bass is wanted without the S5's footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWithin the range the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/s2\"\u003eS2\u003c\/a\u003e below it uses two 7-inch woofers in a smaller cabinet, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/magico-s5-mk-ii\"\u003eS5\u003c\/a\u003e above it moves to two 10-inch woofers, a 6-inch midrange and a curved cabinet with 20 Hz in-room extension. The A Series \u003ca href=\"\/products\/magico-a5\"\u003eA5\u003c\/a\u003e offers three 9-inch woofers at a lower price with a less elaborate cabinet and the standard beryllium tweeter; the S3's advantages are the diamond-coated tweeter, the Gen 8 drivers and the much heavier enclosure. The S3 is the point at which the S Series starts to sound like the M Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWe plan the S3 most often with the dCS Rossini APEX running straight into a Boulder 1160-series or Burmester 216 stereo amplifier, with Pass Labs XA60.8 monoblocks, or with a MOON 891 and 861.

The C12000C controller holds the power supplies, the dual microprocessors, the data ports, the RS232 and IR connections and every Power Control trigger; the C12000ST preamplifier holds the audio circuitry and the audio connections behind its two blue output meters. Two shielded umbilicals join them, and the pair behaves as one component. Inside the ST the left and right channels are electrically and mechanically separate, each fed by its own isolated supply from the controller, which is what McIntosh means by dual mono: nothing one channel does, down to the current it draws, reaches the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe output stage is McIntosh's Hybrid Drive, two complete line stages in one preamplifier. The vacuum-tube section uses two 12AT7s and one 12AX7A per channel; the solid-state section is a discrete balanced circuit. The listener chooses between them with a button, and both can be heard against each other with the same source, the same volume setting and the same loudspeakers, which is a comparison almost no other product allows. Four outputs are provided: one balanced from the tube stage, one balanced from the solid-state stage, one fixed unbalanced and one programmable unbalanced that follows whichever stage is selected. All of them are driven by discrete amplifiers, with 20 volts available balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe phono stage is tube regardless of the output chosen: four 12AX7As, two per channel, in a fully balanced RIAA circuit. Each of the two phono inputs can be set to moving coil or moving magnet with adjustable resistive and capacitive loading, and gain is adjustable in 6 dB steps from 40 to 64 dB, so a low-output moving coil and a high-output cartridge can both be matched without an external step-up. Line-level distortion is specified at 0.005 percent and phono at 0.05 percent, with signal-to-noise of 107 dB on the line inputs and 79 and 83 dB for moving coil and moving magnet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe controller also carries a High Drive headphone output with McIntosh's Headphone Crossfeed Director, Home Theater PassThru so a surround processor can use the main channels without touching the two-channel path, eight data ports, RS232, an IR input and seven Power Control connections for sequencing a large system. Stereophile's Sasha Matson reviewed the C12000 in November 2023, rated it Class A, and bought the review sample; the magazine's measurements placed its line and phono performance among the best it had recorded from a preamplifier. Sound+Image named it Stereo Preamplifier of the Year for 2023, and Australian Hi-Fi reviewed it with the MC3500 Mk II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe C12000 is the preamplifier McIntosh pairs with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mc1-25kw-power-amplifier\"\u003eMC1.25KW\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mc611-power-amplifier\"\u003eMC611\u003c\/a\u003e monoblocks and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcd12000\"\u003eMCD12000\u003c\/a\u003e SACD\/CD player, and its dual-mono construction mirrors a pair of monoblocks.

It has one moving-coil input with resistive loading selectable from 25 to 1,000 ohms and one moving-magnet input with capacitance selectable from 50 to 400 picofarads, both set by switches on the rear panel, with 60 and 40 dB of gain respectively. Balanced and unbalanced analog outputs feed any line input, and a mono switch sums the channels for mono pressings so that vertical groove noise cancels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe RIAA circuit is solid state, specified at 0.005 percent distortion and ±0.3 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with 78 dB signal-to-noise on the moving-coil input and 80 dB on moving magnet. Those are figures that put the MP100 ahead of the phono stages built into many integrated amplifiers, and the loading options let a cartridge be matched properly rather than run into whatever the built-in stage happens to offer. The chassis is McIntosh's half-width format, 11½ inches wide and under four inches high, with a black glass front panel and the green-lit logo, and it uses Power Control to switch on with the rest of a McIntosh system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWhat sets the MP100 apart is the digital side. Optical, coaxial and USB outputs carry the equalized signal at 24-bit\/96 kHz, so the MP100 can feed a DAC-equipped preamplifier digitally, or rip records to a computer over USB with recording software. A clipping indicator on the front panel shows when a loud passage would overload the analog-to-digital converter, so the owner can lower the input before a transfer rather than discover the fault afterward, and the digital section can be switched off entirely for analog-only listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News rated the MP100 Highly Commended in April 2017, eCoustics' Ian White reviewed it in October 2022 and found it detailed, clear and dynamic, and Positive Feedback's Gary Lea reviewed it in March 2023.

Linn has built it on that principle since 1972 and has changed it one part at a time, always keeping the new part compatible with every deck already made. The Majik LP12 is the specification Linn assembles from the entry point of that program, and the deck itself, the plinth, the steel top plate, the Karousel single-point bearing and the inner and outer platters, is identical to the one under a Klimax LP12. What differs is the set of parts bolted to it: the Majik power supply, a compact low-noise unit mounted inside the plinth that filters the mains and drives a 110 V synchronous AC motor at a fixed 33⅓ rpm, with 45 rpm by the pulley adaptor supplied; the Majik sub-chassis, a sandwich of 1.5 mm aluminum sheet carrying Linn's five-layer laminated armboard; and the Solid Base, an aluminum board with fixed feet that closes the plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is Linn's Krane, which replaced the Majik arm in 2020. It is static-balanced, hand-assembled from aluminum and stainless steel, and built to Linn's own geometry of 229 mm effective length, 18 mm overhang and 24 degrees of offset, so that every Linn cartridge and every Linn sub-chassis lines up without adjustment. Its vertical bearing is polished tungsten on sapphire, the horizontal bearing a dual ceramic assembly, the anti-skate a magnetic mechanism with no thread or weight, and VTA is set against a laser-etched scale so the setting can be repeated. The cartridge is the Adikt, Linn's moving magnet: a Gyger II stylus on an aluminum cantilever delivering 6.5 mV into any 47 kΩ MM input, with a stylus assembly the owner can replace. The Majik LP12 MC substitutes the Koil, a 0.4 mV moving coil with a boron cantilever and nude Microlinear stylus that needs an MC input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi News put the Majik LP12\/Krane package through its laboratory in 2021 and measured speed within 0.22 percent of nominal, peak wow and flutter of 0.02 and 0.04 percent, rumble of −70 dB through the groove and arm-bearing friction below 10 mg with no perceptible play; the review found that the deck \"makes music sound natural, unforced, easy and yet expressive and emotional.\" What Hi-Fi? tested the MC version in 2024 and called the presentation \"fluid and wonderfully cohesive,\" while noting that it is not the most dynamic or rhythmically driven turntable at the price. Both reviews make the same point from different angles: the Majik parts are modest, and the deck under them is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe MM version plugs into the phono input of almost any integrated amplifier, or the MM input of a Linn Selekt DSM. The MC version needs a moving-coil stage: the MC input of a Selekt or Klimax DSM, Linn's Uphorik, or the phono input of the Luxman, McIntosh and Audio Research integrated amplifiers we pair it with for listeners outside the Linn system. The Majik LP12 is also the deck that benefits most from a careful setup, because the suspension, the arm height and the cartridge alignment are all set from below and by hand; we do that on our bench before delivery and again whenever a part is changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWhat distinguishes the Majik from other turntables at its price is what can happen next. Because the deck is the same from Majik to Klimax, a Majik LP12 can take a Trampolin base, a Lingo supply, a Kore sub-chassis, an Arko arm or a Radikal in whatever order suits the owner, each fitted in an afternoon without replacing anything else. Choose the Majik to start with a Sondek and build it over the years; choose the Selekt LP12 if you want the Lingo, Kore, Trampolin, Arko and Kendo from the first day; choose the Klimax LP12 when the turntable is to be the system's primary source and the finished article is wanted now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuspended sub-chassis.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three springs carry the bearing and the arm inside the plinth, isolating stylus and groove from the plinth and from the surface below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarousel bearing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Linn's third single-point bearing since 1972, with a stainless-steel housing and lock-nut fixing; fitted to every current LP12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMajik power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal low-noise supply that filters mains noise to the 110 V synchronous AC motor and holds 33⅓ rpm; 45 rpm by adaptor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMajik sub-chassis and laminated armboard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Sandwich-construction 1.5 mm aluminum sub-chassis with Linn's five-layer laminated armboard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKrane tonearm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Static-balanced, tungsten-and-sapphire vertical bearing, dual ceramic horizontal bearing, laser-etched VTA scale and magnetic anti-skate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdikt cartridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving magnet with Gyger II stylus and user-replaceable stylus assembly, 6.5 mV into any MM input.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade path.\u003c\/strong\u003e Same plinth, top plate, bearing and platters as the Klimax LP12, so every Linn upgrade fits this deck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eAll five standard finishes are the same price in the smooth plinth, and we keep all five in stock.

The Selekt LP12 is the specification Linn assembles from the middle of that program. Below it, the Majik LP12 is the entry point with the Karousel bearing, the Krane arm and an Adikt or Koil cartridge; above it, the Klimax LP12 carries the Klimax Radikal, Keel SE, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and a Urika phono stage. The Selekt takes the components that make the largest difference short of those, and reviewers have been consistent that it is where the LP12 becomes a different class of turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe motor is the Sondek's 12 V synchronous AC unit, driven by the Lingo, a hybrid supply with its drive electronics inside the plinth and its power supply in a separate case. Derived from the Radikal's control system, the Lingo checks platter speed on every rotation and corrects the motor drive, recalibrates each time the deck is switched on, and adds a switched 45 rpm. Inside the plinth the Kore replaces the pressed-steel sub-chassis of the standard deck with a three-layer bonded aluminum box and an armboard machined from solid and bonded to it, so the arm and the platter bearing move as one piece on the suspension and the arm collar bolts straight to the structure. The Karousel single-point bearing, standard on every current LP12, carries the inner platter, and the Trampolin base board, aluminum on suspended, damped feet, replaces the fixed Solid Base and isolates the deck from the shelf beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is the Arko, which Linn introduced in 2022 as its first new tonearm design in two decades and built entirely from 7075-grade aluminum: a cold-drawn 7075 arm tube, a 7075 headshell and gimbal, a counterweight with precision-machined slots and a polished stainless-steel through-spindle. Its gimbal bearings are held concentric and preloaded so the arm moves freely in both planes; effective length is 229 mm, overhang 18 mm, offset 24 degrees and effective mass 10 g, suiting cartridges from 2 to 10 g with a downforce range of 0 to 3 g. The Kendo was designed alongside it: a moving coil with a boron cantilever, a super-fine-line stylus, 4N copper coils on a square armature and a rigid nickel-coated 7075 aluminum body, chosen so that cartridge and arm share a material and mechanical energy drains out of the generator into the sub-chassis rather than reflecting at a boundary. Output is 0.45 mV at 3.54 cm\/s into a recommended 100 Ω load, at 2.0 g tracking force; the cartridge weighs 7.6 g and channel separation is better than 28 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAlan Sircom reviewed the Selekt LP12 for Hi-Fi+ in April 2023 and found a deck that kept the LP12's bounce and timing while sounding more neutral and cleaner than earlier Linn moving coils, with a crisp, dry treble and detail he called fresh rather than nostalgic: \"The Linn Selekt LP12 does 'detailed' and 'fun' like they were going out of fashion.\" His cautions were that the Klimax upgrade path more than doubles the price and that listeners wanting the warmer character of older LP12s may not want this one. Michael Evans at StereoNET (September 2023) ran it on Exposure amplification and Linn Sara loudspeakers, heard strong, taut bass, lively rhythm and a smooth, neutral midrange, called it \"a highly emotional performer,\" scored it 9.5 out of 10 with an Applause Award and answered his own question about whether it is the best-value Linn turntable with a yes; his reservation was that a Technics SL-1000R delivers sharper attack transients. Both found the Kendo's exposed cantilever makes fitting the stylus guard nerve-racking, which is one reason we fit and align the cartridge ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Selekt LP12 needs a moving-coil input. In a Linn system it goes into the MC phono stage of a Selekt DSM or Klimax DSM, or into a Urika II fitted later for Exakt Link output; with other electronics we pair it with Linn's Uphorik phono stage into Luxman, McIntosh, Burmester or Audio Research preamplifiers, or with the phono stages of the Luxman and Burmester lines. We set up every Selekt LP12 before delivery and can take the deck toward Klimax specification one component at a time: Radikal in place of the Lingo, Keel SE in place of the Kore, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika, each fitting the same plinth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eChoose the Majik LP12 to start with a Sondek and upgrade later; choose the Selekt LP12 for most of the LP12's character at about a third of the Klimax's price, with the Arko and Kendo matched from the start; choose the Klimax LP12 when the turntable is to be the system's primary source and the finished article is wanted now. The plinth comes in Black Ash, Cherry, Oak, Rosenut or Walnut; the fluted plinth and Linn's densified-beech Bedrok are the alternatives to order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLingo power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid supply with drive electronics in the plinth and power supply outside; digitally managed speed control derived from the Radikal, checked every rotation; switched 33⅓ and 45 rpm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKore sub-chassis.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three bonded 1.5 mm aluminum layers with a ribbed armboard machined from solid and bonded to the box, so arm and bearing move as one piece on the suspension.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrampolin base.\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum base board on suspended, acoustically damped feet, isolating the deck from the shelf.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArko tonearm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gimballed arm made entirely of 7075 aluminum with a cold-drawn arm tube and stainless-steel through-spindle; 229 mm effective length, 10 g effective mass, 0 to 3 g downforce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKendo cartridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e Moving coil with boron cantilever, super-fine-line stylus, 4N copper coils and a nickel-coated 7075 body matched to the Arko; 0.45 mV, 2.0 g, 100 Ω load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarousel bearing.\u003c\/strong\u003e The single-point platter bearing fitted to every current LP12.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpgrade path.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every component fits any LP12 built since 1972; Radikal, Keel SE, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika can be added singly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2a2a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#9a4a2a;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCherry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c9a66b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOak\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#5a2f22;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosenut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#6b4a2b;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWalnut\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ekiln-dried hardwood, smooth plinth\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eAll five standard finishes are the same price in the smooth plinth, and we keep all five in stock.

The Klimax LP12 is the current end point of that program. The motor system is the Klimax Radikal introduced in October 2025: a precious-metal brushed DC motor with a moving-coil rotor in an acoustically isolated housing, driven by an FPGA-managed control unit that checks platter speed on every rotation and corrects it, and powered by a Utopik supply whose two self-regulating rails serve the motor and the phono stage separately. The supply is machined from three solid aluminum blocks weighing close to 14 kg and stands on high-mass stainless-steel feet, so the only electronics outside the deck are as inert as the deck itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eInside the plinth, the Keel SE is a sub-chassis and armboard machined as one piece from solid aluminum with a bracing structure cut into its underside; Linn quotes a 300 percent increase in stiffness over its earlier Keel and a center of mass rebalanced across the three suspension springs, so the arm and platter bearing move as one body on the suspension rather than flexing against each other. The Karousel single-point bearing, standard on every current LP12, carries the inner platter; the Trampolin suspended aluminum base board closes the plinth and carries the Urika II. The plinth itself is kiln-dried hardwood in Black Ash, Cherry, Oak, Rosenut or Walnut, smooth or fluted, and Linn's densified-beech Bedrok plinth is available as the remaining upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe arm is the hand-built Ekos SE: a machined titanium arm tube, a stainless-steel bearing housing, bearings with less than 20 mg of friction, and temperature-compensated springs for downforce and anti-skate so that settings hold as the room changes. It carries the Ekstatik, Linn's flagship moving coil, introduced in 2021: a micro-ridge stylus on a sapphire cantilever, a square armature wound with 4N copper, and a body machined from 7075 aluminum in a honeycomb pattern, coated in diamond-like carbon and fitted with aluminum-bronze inserts, mounted at three points to the headshell. Output is 0.45 mV at 3.54 cm\/s into a recommended 100 Ω load, at 2.0 g tracking force. From the cartridge the signal travels a few inches to the Urika II on the Trampolin, where it is digitized at once, equalized to RIAA in the digital domain with per-unit calibration, and sent losslessly over Exakt Link to a Klimax or Selekt DSM, which then applies volume, Space Optimisation and, with Exakt loudspeakers, the crossover. For a conventional preamplifier the analog Urika, with RCA and transformer-coupled XLR outputs, takes its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewing this exact 2026 specification for The Ear in July 2026, Ed Selley found that congestion audible on a Selekt LP12 in the same system \"vanishes like ice on a hotplate\" and called the Klimax \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit,\" noting that some rivals at the price reach deeper in the bass and that the deck depends on partners of matching quality. Herb Reichert in Stereophile (June 2022, with the previous Radikal and the analog Urika) described tempo, focus and immediacy as \"near-laboratory quality\" and wrote that the Klimax preserved the structure of a Miles Davis recording \"better than any turntable I've had the pleasure of hearing it on.\" Jonathan Gorse at SoundStage! Ultra (February 2025, also the previous Radikal) heard a deck \"extremely articulate, incisive, and precise\" with detail retrieval approaching the state of the art, and listed the practical points a buyer should know: the LP12 is sensitive to footfall on suspended wooden floors, setup is from below and is done by the dealer, and the analog Urika offers no gain or loading adjustment for non-Linn cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn a Linn system the Klimax LP12 with Urika II joins a Klimax DSM or Selekt DSM over a single Exakt Link cable and plays through 360 or 343 Exakt Integrated loudspeakers or Klimax Solo monoblocks with no analog interconnect at all. With the analog Urika it feeds any preamplifier; we also pair Klimax LP12s with Burmester, Luxman and Audio Research electronics for listeners with non-Linn systems. We build, service and upgrade Sondek LP12s in-house, set the Urika II's gain and loading for the cartridge at installation, and can bring an existing LP12 of any age to this specification one component at a time: Karousel first, then Keel SE, Radikal, Ekos SE, Ekstatik and Urika.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eLinn offers the Sondek in three complete specifications on the same deck. The Majik LP12 is the entry point with Karousel, the Krane arm and an Adikt or Koil cartridge; the Selekt LP12 adds Lingo, Kore, Trampolin, the Arko arm and the Kendo cartridge; the Klimax LP12 is every reference-level part.

It returned in 1993 as a commemorative edition honoring Gow, and the amplifier McIntosh sells today is the sixth generation of that design, with the same polished stainless chassis, the same four KT88 output tubes standing in a row at the front, and the same two Unity Coupled output transformers behind them. Stereophile carried it as a Recommended Component from 2014 to 2022, The Absolute Sound gave it an Editors' Choice award every year from 2017 to 2022, and TONE named it a Product of the Year in 2020; few audio designs of any kind have remained in production, on and off, for more than sixty years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe circuit is the one Frank McIntosh patented in 1949. In a conventional push-pull tube amplifier the two output tubes hand the signal to each other across the zero point, and the transformer's leakage inductance causes a small discontinuity, known as notch distortion, at every crossing. The Unity Coupled transformer winds the two halves of its primary together as a single bifilar pair, so the two tubes stay magnetically coupled through the whole cycle and the hand-off disappears. The same design lets the transformer deliver the full 75 watts into 4, 8 or 16 ohm taps with distortion held to 0.5 percent from 250 milliwatts to rated output and no more than 0.25 percent at 1 kHz. Four 12AT7 and three 12AX7A small-signal tubes handle the balanced input, voltage gain and driver stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe sixth generation keeps the conveniences the originals never had. Balanced and unbalanced inputs are both fitted, and Power Control input and output jacks let a McIntosh preamplifier switch the amplifier on with the rest of the system. The seven small-signal tubes are lit by LEDs that double as status indicators: amber while the amplifier warms up, green when it is ready, and red in front of any output tube that has failed, so the owner knows which KT88 to replace without a meter. Sentry Monitor, McIntosh's fuseless short-circuit protection, watches output current and disengages the output stage before it reaches a damaging level, then resets itself once the fault clears. Speaker connections are the gold-plated Solid Cinch binding posts used across the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eA single MC275 is enough for most loudspeakers of average sensitivity in an ordinary room, and its 1.2 dB of dynamic headroom gives it short-term reserve above the rating. For larger rooms or less sensitive speakers, a second MC275 lets each run as a 150-watt mono amplifier into 2, 4 or 8 ohms, which is how many owners end up using them. If that power is wanted in one chassis, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mc1502-stereo-tube-amplifier\"\u003eMC1502\u003c\/a\u003e doubles the circuit with eight KT88s; McIntosh now lists it among its retired products, with availability limited to stock on hand. The MC275 weighs 67 pounds and runs warm, so it wants open air above the tubes rather than a closed cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe MC275 pairs most naturally with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c22\"\u003eC22 Mk V\u003c\/a\u003e, the all-analog tube preamplifier whose glass front panel it was designed to sit beside, and with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c2800-preamplifier\"\u003eC2800\u003c\/a\u003e when digital inputs are wanted. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c8-tube-preamplifier\"\u003eC8\u003c\/a\u003e was built as its compact companion and remains available while McIntosh's stock lasts. With a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mt5-turntable\"\u003eMT5 turntable\u003c\/a\u003e on the phono input it becomes the McIntosh system most people picture, and Pearl Audio pairs it with loudspeakers such as the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonus-faber-olympica-i-g3\"\u003eSonus faber Olympica I G3\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/805-d5\"\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 805 D5\u003c\/a\u003e, both of which are within reach of its 75 watts in a room of ordinary size. The Absolute Sound's Paul Seydor reviewed the MC275 VI with the C22 in October 2016 and found it quieter and more refined than the version he had reviewed before; Stereophile's Fred Kaplan reviewed the previous generation in October 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnity Coupled Circuit.\u003c\/strong\u003e The output transformer primary is wound as a single bifilar pair, so both halves of the push-pull stage stay coupled through the entire cycle and the notch distortion of a conventional transformer at the zero crossing does not occur.

The platter is silicon acrylic, lit green from below so that the record appears to float, and it rides on a magnetically suspended ceramic bearing: opposed magnets carry most of the platter's weight, so the bearing surfaces carry almost none and contribute almost no rumble. A DC motor with stainless steel brushes drives the belt under servo control at 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm, with fine speed adjustment, and the 78 setting is the one most turntables at this price omit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eTracking force, anti-skate, overhang and arm height are set at the factory, so the MT5 is unpacked and played rather than set up, though vertical tracking angle, anti-skate and azimuth remain adjustable for a later cartridge. The tonearm is a dural-aluminum tube on magnetic sapphire and ceramic bearings, with magnetic anti-skate that applies its force without a thread or weight and an eccentric counterweight. Specified wow and flutter is 0.15 to 0.20 percent and signal-to-noise 36 to 41 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eMcIntosh fits the Sumiko Amethyst, a high-output moving-magnet cartridge with a nude line-contact diamond on an aluminum cantilever. The line-contact profile traces more of the groove wall than an elliptical stylus, which is why Part-Time Audiophile placed the Amethyst in its 2023 buyer's guide of cartridges and why the MT5 reads detail that a cartridge of this type usually misses; output is 2.5 mV into a standard 47 kΩ moving-magnet input, so no step-up or loading decision is needed. Power Control lets a McIntosh preamplifier switch the platter light and motor on with the rest of the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWhat Hi-Fi? reviewed the MT5 in January 2017 and called it a capable high-end turntable that stands up to any rival in its class; Hi-Fi World gave it five globes, Lyd \u0026amp; Bilde rated it Highly Recommended and Fedeltà del Suono gave it a Top Quality award in May 2017.

The cabinet is new, curved and shaped rather than extruded as a cylinder, with a curved front baffle to reduce diffraction and 31% more internal volume than before. Its form was settled with 3D simulation and then verified with the laser vibrometer and Klippel Near-Field Scanner Magico bought for the M9 program; the result is an enclosure John Atkinson could find no resonant modes in when he tested it for Stereophile. A three-footer support system with constrained-layer damping replaces the old outriggers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe drivers are the M Series generation brought into the S line. The tweeter is a 1.1-inch (28 mm) diamond-coated beryllium dome with a neodymium motor, derived from the M Series unit. The 6-inch midrange and the two 10-inch woofers use Gen 8 Graphene Nano-Tec cones: an aluminum-honeycomb core between skins of graphene-reinforced carbon fiber, which Magico uses for stiffness without the ringing of a metal cone. The midrange has a 3-inch pure titanium voice coil, two extra-large neodymium magnets and a full copper cap; each woofer has a 5-inch titanium voice coil, a copper cap, a third-generation chassis and half an inch of linear excursion. The crossover is Magico's three-way Elliptical Symmetry design with 24 dB per octave Linkwitz-Riley acoustic slopes, built with Mundorf resistors and coils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eJohn Atkinson reviewed the S5 2024 in Stereophile's August 2025 issue and his verdict made it the magazine's Loudspeaker of the Year. He wrote that \"the speakers kept stepping out of the way of the music\", that \"the control and evenness of the Magico's low frequencies continued to impress\", and called the S5 \"a revelation of what can be achieved by an apparently conventional moving coil loudspeaker\". His measurements showed a smooth, even farfield response with the pair matched within ±0.5 dB from 500 Hz to 20 kHz, very even horizontal dispersion, a sealed-box tuning near 27 Hz (where output is 6 dB down, so 20 Hz is reasonable with room gain), all four drivers in positive polarity with crossover transitions that blend smoothly, and a clean cumulative spectral decay. Alan Sircom in Hi-Fi+ called it \"an open window to the music\" and found \"the bass is deeper and better defined than its S5 predecessors\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe one demand the S5 makes is on the amplifier. Atkinson measured sensitivity at 86.5 dB(B)\/2.83 V\/m against Magico's 88 dB rating, an impedance that falls below 4 Ω from 40 to 650 Hz with minima near 2.7 Ω, and an equivalent peak dissipation resistance that drops to about 1 Ω in the mid-bass and again around 400 Hz. Magico recommends 50 to 1,000 W; in practice the S5 wants a solid-state amplifier with real current capacity and a low output impedance, and it rewards power. Tube amplifiers with low-impedance taps can work but will not show what the woofers can do. Placement is less critical than with most speakers of this size: the sealed enclosure rolls off gently and does not excite room modes the way a ported design does, and the even dispersion keeps the tonal balance stable off axis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn the S Series the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/magico-s3\"\u003eS3\u003c\/a\u003e below it uses two 9-inch woofers and a 5-inch midrange in a narrower cabinet rated to 24 Hz, and suits rooms where the S5's scale would be excessive; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/magico-s7-2026\"\u003eS7\u003c\/a\u003e above it is the largest S Series speaker.

What it kept was the circuit philosophy. The preamplifier stage uses two 12AX7A and two 12AT7 tubes standing in protective cages on top of the chassis, where their color tells you what the amplifier is doing: amber during warm-up, green in normal operation, and a flash of amber on the affected channel when Power Guard intervenes. Beneath them is a solid-state, direct-coupled output stage rated at 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 160 into 4, with 0.03 percent distortion and 1.8 dB of dynamic headroom. McIntosh calls the combination Hybrid Drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eDirect coupling means there is no Autoformer here, so power rises as the load impedance falls rather than staying constant across taps, which suits the moderate-impedance loudspeakers the MA252 is likely to partner. The output transistors sit on McIntosh's Monogrammed Heatsinks, which the company credits with eliminating the usual warm-up lag, and Sentry Monitor provides fuseless short-circuit protection that resets itself. When Australian Hi-Fi put the MA252 on the bench for its 2020 review, it measured 130 watts into 8 ohms and 209 into 4 at 1 kHz, comfortably above the ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe input set is deliberately analog. One balanced and two unbalanced line inputs join a moving-magnet phono input with fixed 47 kΩ loading, so a turntable connects directly; a streamer, CD player or external DAC plugs in at line level, and the MA252 has no digital inputs of its own. Bass and treble controls can be bypassed per input, input level matching evens out sources, and an OLED display shows the settings. The supplied remote handles input selection, balance and tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe rear panel is simple by McIntosh standards. One mono, full-range subwoofer output follows the volume control, so a powered subwoofer's own crossover sets the blend; there is no Home Theater PassThru, no variable preamplifier output and only one Power Control output and one data port. The High Drive headphone output on the front panel has enough current for demanding headphones. At 12 inches wide, 7⅝ inches high and 28 pounds, the MA252 fits where a full-width McIntosh will not, and McIntosh asks only for free air around the open chassis and cable room behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn the range, the MA252 is the entry to McIntosh tube sound.

Its folded aluminum sleeve is powder-coated in textured Classic Black or, for the first time, silver, and sits on an 8 mm machined aluminum base; the six smart buttons are machined stainless steel, the acrylic fascia carries a large-format display, and a Utopik power supply replaced the earlier design. Inside are three cartridge slots. A Line Out, Power Out, Hybrid or Mono Line Out cartridge sets the kind of output; a Standard, Katalyst or Organik DAC module sets the conversion quality; an HDMI switching module and a surround module are optional. Any of these can be changed later, and Pearl Audio fits them in-store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThis configuration fits the Stereo Line Out cartridge and the Katalyst DAC module. Katalyst was Linn's fourth-generation DAC architecture, developed for the Klimax DS and brought to the Selekt as a module: separate power supplies for the analog and digital sections, a high-precision reference and a low-distortion output stage. The Line Out cartridge gives RCA outputs at 2 V and balanced XLR at 4 V, switchable between variable and fixed level, so the Selekt can act as a preamplifier into power amplifiers or as a source into an existing preamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWhatever the configuration, every Selekt DSM streams from TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and Spotify Connect, supports AirPlay 2 and Roon, plays files to 24-bit\/384 kHz and DSD256, and has a built-in MM\/MC phono stage, a line input, two Toslink, two S\/PDIF, USB and HDMI ARC, a 1\/4-inch headphone output, and RCA subwoofer outputs for bass reinforcement. Two Exakt Link sockets connect Linn Exakt speakers, an Exaktbox or an LP12 with Urika II, and Space Optimisation corrects the system for your room. StereoNET's Mark Gusew reviewed a first-generation Selekt with Katalyst and found it \"punches way above its weight,\" with a sound \"lean and agile rather than warm and fluffy.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThis sits between the Standard DAC streamer and the Edition Hub versions.

Its folded aluminum sleeve is powder-coated in textured Classic Black or, for the first time, silver, and sits on an 8 mm machined aluminum base; the six smart buttons are machined stainless steel, the acrylic fascia carries a large-format display, and a Utopik power supply replaced the earlier design. Inside are three cartridge slots. A Line Out, Power Out, Hybrid or Mono Line Out cartridge sets the kind of output; a Standard, Katalyst or Organik DAC module sets the conversion quality; an HDMI switching module and a surround module are optional. Any of these can be changed later, and Pearl Audio fits them in-store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThis configuration fits the Stereo Power Out cartridge and the Katalyst DAC module. The Power Out cartridge is a two-channel Class D amplifier rated at 50 W into 8 Ω and 100 W into 4 Ω per channel, and the Katalyst module brings the DAC architecture Linn developed for the Klimax DS, with separate analog and digital supplies and a precision reference. With an Exakt configuration the amplifiers run a 119 or 150 fully active, crossover in the digital domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWhatever the configuration, every Selekt DSM streams from TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and Spotify Connect, supports AirPlay 2 and Roon, plays files to 24-bit\/384 kHz and DSD256, and has a built-in MM\/MC phono stage, a line input, two Toslink, two S\/PDIF, USB and HDMI ARC, a 1\/4-inch headphone output, and RCA subwoofer outputs for bass reinforcement. Two Exakt Link sockets connect Linn Exakt speakers, an Exaktbox or an LP12 with Urika II, and Space Optimisation corrects the system for your room. StereoNET's Mark Gusew tested a first-generation Selekt in this form, Katalyst DAC with the amplifier cartridge, and found it \"punches way above its weight,\" with \"enough grunt to drive my loudspeakers to high levels.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThis is the top Classic Hub configuration at Pearl Audio. The Edition Hub integrated versions add the machined enclosure and the option of the Organik DAC; the Organik module can also be fitted to this unit later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge architecture.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three slots take Line Out, Power Out, Hybrid or Mono Line Out cartridges and a DAC module, all changeable later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUtopik power supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e Linn's precision-regulated switch-mode supply, standard in both hubs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono stage.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in MM (47 kΩ, +40 dB) and MC (100 Ω, +54 dB) inputs with a 24-bit\/192 kHz ADC.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExakt Link.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two sockets for Exakt speakers, an Exaktbox, or a Urika II in an LP12;

In most moving-coil cartridges, tracking force pushes the coils out of line with the magnetic field. The Delos uses a pre-angled damping system and body geometry so that the coils come into proper alignment when the stylus is in the groove. A yokeless neodymium magnet drives 6N high-purity copper coils. The body is machined from a single billet of aluminum with partly non-parallel surfaces to reduce resonance, and the nude construction keeps parts to a minimum. A solid boron cantilever carries a Namiki microridge line-contact stylus for good tracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eReviewers describe the Delos as fast, detailed and clean, but with enough midrange body that it never sounds thin or analytical. Michael Fremer singled out its microdynamics and three-dimensional soundstage for the money. Stereophile's Gramophone Dreams column praised its bass focus and transparency, and its ability to make even ordinary recordings engaging. The line-contact stylus is sensitive to VTA, so a tonearm with height adjustment is strongly recommended. Its 7.3 g weight and medium compliance suit most medium-mass arms. It needs an MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain, or a step-up transformer. Loading around 100 Ω is a common starting point, but it's worth adjusting by ear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Delos is the entry to Lyra's range, below the Kleos, and it is the model most listeners start with.

Most moving-coil cartridges are built so that tracking force pulls the coils slightly out of line with the magnetic field. Lyra angles the coils so that they come into perfect alignment under load, which is exactly when it matters. Around that generator sits a one-piece body machined from 7075 aircraft alloy. Its non-parallel surfaces and narrow headshell contact area dissipate resonance rather than storing it. Each Kleos is built and tested by hand in Japan, with final assembly by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eOn the turntable, the Kleos sounds smooth, rich and unforced. It has well-extended bass, a full midrange and an open top end that never turns bright or etched. Its exceptionally quiet tracking lets well-loved records play with far less surface noise than you might expect. Imaging is wide, deep and three-dimensional. It pairs best with a rigid, high-quality tonearm with adjustable anti-skate (VTA adjustment is a plus). It also needs a quiet MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain or more, or a step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Kleos sits above the Delos and below the Etna λ. Lyra does not retip: a worn Kleos is exchanged for a new one through MIBS Distro at $2,690 instead of $4,495, and any other Lyra cartridge traded in brings a new Kleos to $3,580.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e The coils are pre-angled so that tracking force brings them into exact alignment with the magnetic field, which is when it matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece 7075 alloy body.\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined from a single billet with non-parallel surfaces and a narrow headshell contact area, so resonance is dissipated rather than stored.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable-radius line-contact stylus.\u003c\/strong\u003e A nude 3 × 70 µm diamond on a solid boron cantilever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand built in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built and tested by hand, with final assembly by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded 2.6 mm mounting holes.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounts without nuts, and the body shape makes alignment easy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eLow-output moving coil (MC), medium compliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eOutput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e0.5 mV (5 cm\/s, 45°)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eInternal impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e5.4 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eRecommended load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e95–816 Ω direct into MC input;

The difference is the coil. The SL uses a single-layer winding instead of the standard model's two layers, which halves output to 0.25 mV and drops internal impedance to 2.7 Ω. Each one is built to order by hand in Japan, with final assembly and testing by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eFewer turns of wire means less coil mass and inductance, and in a system designed around a low-impedance cartridge the SL can sound especially pure and direct. The trade-off is signal level. Lyra itself recommends the regular Kleos for most people, because its higher output gives a better signal-to-noise ratio with most phono stages. The SL makes sense if you already run a very high-gain, extra-low-noise MC stage, or a step-up transformer designed for cartridges of about 1–3 Ω.

The Kleos Mono is built to ignore it. Instead of the 45° coil former used in stereo cartridges, its square iron former sits parallel to the record surface, and its coils are wound to produce signal only from horizontal stylus movement. Lyra uses two separate, isolated coils, so the cartridge can feed a normal stereo system without tying the two channels together electrically, which avoids ground-loop and hum problems. The rest is pure Kleos: a one-piece 7075 aluminum body, a solid boron cantilever and Lyra's variable-radius line-contact stylus, hand-built in Japan with final assembly and testing by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBecause it rejects vertical groove noise, Lyra says the Kleos Mono gives a much better signal-to-noise ratio on mono records, with no downside. Its two coils can run in parallel into a stereo system, or one channel can be used alone with a single amplifier and speaker. For more output in a one-amp mono setup, the coils can be wired in series through a short headshell lead. At 0.25 mV it needs a high-gain, low-noise MC phono stage or a step-up transformer designed for low-impedance cartridges, and a rigid tonearm of medium to medium-high mass. Reviewers have praised the stereo Kleos for its smooth, detailed and tonally balanced sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Kleos Mono is built to order and sits alongside the stereo Kleos in Lyra's range. Lyra does not retip: a worn Kleos Mono is exchanged for a new one through MIBS Distro at $2,995 instead of $4,995, and any other Lyra cartridge traded in brings it to $3,935.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e The coils are pre-angled so that tracking force brings them into exact alignment with the magnetic field, which is when it matters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-piece 7075 alloy body.\u003c\/strong\u003e Machined from a single billet with non-parallel surfaces and a narrow headshell contact area, so resonance is dissipated rather than stored.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariable-radius line-contact stylus.\u003c\/strong\u003e A nude 3 × 70 µm diamond on a solid boron cantilever.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue mono generator.\u003c\/strong\u003e Coils that respond only to lateral groove motion, so vertical noise and wear on mono LPs are not reproduced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand built in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built and tested by hand, with final assembly by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eMono low-output moving coil (MC), medium compliance;

Instead of a single block of titanium, it uses a machined titanium core clamped inside a tightly fitted aluminum outer body, a self-clamping, multi-material construction aimed at a more neutral body resonance. Inside, a yokeless dual-magnet system drives double-layer coils set to Lyra's pre-angled \"New Angle\" geometry, so the coils line up with the magnetic field under tracking force. A diamond-coated boron cantilever carries Lyra's own variable-radius line-contact nude diamond. The Lambda update keeps the stylus, cantilever and coils. What it changes is how the cantilever is preloaded: new flat dampers on a separate support Lyra calls the \"pillow\". These are built to tighter tolerances, and the nose piece is made from a stiffer polymer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Absolute Sound found the Lambda far quieter in the lead-in grooves than the original Etna. It also heard more fine detail, more powerful bass, fuller orchestral timbres and a deeper soundstage, and recommended it as a top choice in its price range. The Audio Beat heard the original's natural flow and balance, now with more presence, focus and immediacy. Both reviewers found it more sensitive to setup than earlier Lyras: small changes to VTA, tracking force and anti-skate make a real difference, and it benefits from a few days of break-in before final adjustment. It suits a rigid, high-quality tonearm, ideally with VTA adjustment. It needs a quiet MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain or more, or a step-up transformer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Etna λ sits between the Kleos and the flagship Atlas λ.

That means a titanium core clamped inside an aluminum outer body, Lyra's pre-angled \"New Angle\" coil geometry, and a diamond-coated boron cantilever with a variable-radius line-contact nude diamond. The difference is in the coils. The SL uses single-layer coils, which lower moving mass and drop internal impedance to 1.52 Ω and output to 0.25 mV, less than half the standard model's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Audio Beat found that with a high-gain, very low-noise phono stage, the SL can match the standard Etna's presence and dynamics, and add finer detail, articulation and low-level nuance. With lower-gain stages it sounds lighter and thinner. Stereophile's Michael Fremer reviewed the earlier Etna SL alongside the Atlas SL and judged the Etna SL the stronger of the two: airier, richer and more expansive. Current-input phono stages, or a step-up transformer designed for 1–3 Ω cartridges, suit it best. A transformer chosen for the standard Etna is unlikely to suit it. If you are not sure your system can take advantage of it, the standard Etna Lambda is usually the better choice. It needs a rigid, high-quality tonearm with VTA adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Etna λ SL is built to order and sits alongside the standard Etna λ, one step below the Atlas λ. Lyra does not retip: a worn Etna SL is exchanged for a new Etna λ SL through MIBS Distro at $6,895 instead of $11,495, and any other Lyra cartridge traded in brings it to $9,270.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLambda suspension.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyra's revised one-point wire suspension and damper layout, shared with the Atlas λ, for a lower noise floor and better tracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-material body.\u003c\/strong\u003e A titanium core inside a duralumin outer body, with a bronze front plate and phenolic resin inserts, tuned so that each material damps the others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-angled coils that align with the magnetic field under tracking force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond-coated boron cantilever.\u003c\/strong\u003e A solid boron rod with a diamond coating carrying a nude 3 × 70 µm variable-radius line-contact stylus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-layer coil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fewer turns give 0.25 mV and 1.52 Ω;

On a mono record the music is all in the side-to-side groove motion, and the vertical axis carries only noise. So Lyra lays the square iron coil former parallel to the record surface, instead of at the 45° angle used in stereo cartridges, and winds two separate, isolated coils that respond only to horizontal movement. The body starts with a solid titanium core with non-parallel surfaces, locked inside an asymmetric anodized duralumin shell, with bronze and stainless-steel rods pressure-fitted into a pre-stressed, constrained-layer structure. The diamond-coated solid boron cantilever mounts directly into the body so vibration drains into the headshell and tonearm. It is designed by Jonathan Carr and hand-built in Japan, with final assembly and testing by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBecause it ignores the vertical axis, Lyra says the Etna Lambda Mono gives a much better signal-to-noise ratio on mono records, with no downside. The isolated coils can run in parallel into a stereo system without tying the channels together (which helps avoid hum), feed one amplifier and speaker on their own, or be wired in series through a headshell lead for more output in a single-amp mono system. At 0.25 mV and 3.0 Ω it needs a high-gain, low-noise MC phono stage or a step-up transformer designed for low-impedance cartridges, plus a rigid, medium to medium-high mass tonearm with adjustable anti-skate.

The body is machined from a single billet of solid titanium. Its surfaces are deliberately non-parallel and asymmetrical, so vibration from the groove isn't stored and reflected back into the signal. Inside, a yokeless dual-magnet system drives coils set to Lyra's \"New Angle\" geometry. The coils are pre-angled so that they line up exactly with the magnetic field once tracking force is applied. The Lambda update, introduced in 2020, adds a redesigned suspension and damper system that Lyra says improves clarity and resolution. A diamond-coated solid boron cantilever carries Lyra's own variable-radius line-contact nude diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eStereophile's reviewer found the Lambda cleaner and more resolving in the treble than the original Atlas, with the same bass power and slam. He also noted a more natural beauty to its sound, without any softening or added color. Stereophile's earlier review of the Atlas SL also singled out its bass impact, grip, speed and slam. It needs a rigid, high-quality tonearm with adjustable anti-skate (VTA adjustment is a plus). At 11.6 g it is a heavier cartridge, so check your arm's counterweight range. It also needs a quiet MC phono stage with about 60 dB of gain or more, or a step-up transformer. The Atlas Lambda SL halves the output for very high-gain, low-noise systems. The Atlas Lambda Mono is built for mono LPs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Atlas λ is the top of Lyra's range. Lyra does not retip: a worn Atlas is exchanged for a new Atlas λ through MIBS Distro at $8,395 instead of $14,500; an Etna, Olympos, Parnassus or Titan traded in brings a new Atlas λ to $11,595, and any other Lyra model to $11,785.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid titanium body.\u003c\/strong\u003e An asymmetrical body machined from titanium with no parallel surfaces, for the lowest stored energy in the Lyra range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLambda suspension.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyra's revised one-point wire suspension and damper geometry, which lowered the noise floor and improved tracking over the original Atlas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-angled coils that come into exact alignment with the magnetic field under tracking force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond-coated boron cantilever.\u003c\/strong\u003e A diamond-coated solid boron rod with a nude 3 × 70 µm variable-radius line-contact stylus, slot-mounted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand built in Japan.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built and tested by hand, with final assembly by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eLow-output moving coil (MC), medium compliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eOutput\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e0.56 mV (5 cm\/s, 45°)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eInternal impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e4.2 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eRecommended load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003e104–887 Ω direct into MC input;

The body is machined from one piece of solid titanium with asymmetrical, non-parallel surfaces that keep resonance from building up. Inside are a yokeless dual-magnet system, Lyra's pre-angled \"New Angle\" coil geometry, and the Lambda suspension and damper. A diamond-coated boron cantilever carries a variable-radius line-contact nude diamond. The SL coils use half the turns of the standard model, which lowers moving mass, internal impedance and output (0.25 mV against 0.56 mV).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn the right system, the payoff is finer inner detail, better low-level dynamics and a less mechanical sound. Dagogo's reviewer called it the best cartridge he had owned, with deep, well-balanced bass and a very large soundstage. Stereophile found the gains over the standard Atlas real but not dramatic. Reviewers warn that it only works with a very high-gain, very low-noise phono stage, a current-input stage, or a step-up transformer designed for 1–3 Ω cartridges. Without those, dynamics and energy suffer. If you are unsure, the standard Atlas Lambda is the safer choice, and we're happy to help you decide.

A mono groove carries its music side to side, and the vertical axis holds nothing but noise from wear and dirt. Lyra lays the square iron coil former parallel to the record surface, instead of at the 45° angle used in stereo cartridges, and winds two separate, isolated coils that respond only to horizontal stylus movement. The body is machined from titanium in an asymmetrical shape, combined with a synthetic composite gemstone, and threaded directly for the mounting screws. A diamond-coated solid boron cantilever is mounted straight into the body with a high-pressure knife-edge system. It is designed by Jonathan Carr and hand-built in Japan, with final assembly and testing by Yoshinori Mishima.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBecause it rejects vertical groove noise, Lyra says the Atlas Lambda Mono gives a much better signal-to-noise ratio on mono records, with no downside. Its isolated coils can run in parallel into a stereo system without tying the channels together (which helps avoid hum), feed a single amplifier and speaker, or be wired in series through a headshell lead for more output in a one-amp mono system. At 0.25 mV and 3.0 Ω it needs a high-gain, low-noise MC phono stage or a step-up transformer designed for low-impedance cartridges. At 11.6 g it suits a rigid tonearm of medium to medium-high mass. Stereophile's Michael Fremer called the original stereo Atlas a complete success, with standout transparency and microdynamics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe Atlas λ Mono is built to order and sits at the top of Lyra's range beside the stereo Atlas λ. Lyra does not retip: a worn Atlas Mono is exchanged for a new one through MIBS Distro at $9,295 instead of $15,500; an Atlas, Etna, Olympos, Parnassus or Titan traded in brings it to $12,345, and any other Lyra model to $12,725.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid titanium body.\u003c\/strong\u003e An asymmetrical body machined from titanium with no parallel surfaces, for the lowest stored energy in the Lyra range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLambda suspension.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyra's revised one-point wire suspension and damper geometry, which lowered the noise floor and improved tracking over the original Atlas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNew Angle coil geometry.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-angled coils that come into exact alignment with the magnetic field under tracking force.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond-coated boron cantilever.\u003c\/strong\u003e A diamond-coated solid boron rod with a nude 3 × 70 µm variable-radius line-contact stylus, slot-mounted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue mono generator.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two isolated mono coils of 3.0 Ω each read only lateral groove motion, for the quietest playback of mono LPs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdetails open style=\"border-top:1px solid #080808;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:12px 0;font-size:16px;font-weight:600\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin:0 0 14px\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 10px 7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top;width:40%;color:#55524c\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:7px 0;border-bottom:1px solid #d8d5ce;vertical-align:top\"\u003eMono low-output, low-impedance moving coil (MC), medium compliance;

Where the MT5 uses a brushed DC motor, the MT10 uses a brushless DC motor under electronic speed control, which removes the commutation noise of brushes from the drive, and it adds a braking feature that stops the platter when playback ends rather than letting it spin down. Speeds are 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm with fine adjustment, and the blue speed meter on the front shows the platter's actual speed at a glance.

It is a fully balanced monoblock, which in a tube amplifier means that the input signal is carried as two opposite-polarity halves through the 6H30 driver stage to the push-pull output stage, so that power supply noise and even-order distortion cancel in the output transformer. Four KT150 output tubes deliver 140 W continuous from 20 Hz to 20 kHz in ultralinear mode; a front-panel button switches the output stage to triode operation while music is playing, trading roughly half the power for the lower distortion and the particular openness of a triode output stage, and the choice can be made track by track. Audio Research's proprietary auto-bias circuit holds the bias of each output tube continuously and compensates for tube aging, so the amplifier never needs manual adjustment and can also run 6550, KT88 or KT120 output tubes if an owner prefers them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe face of the 160M is a transparent panel with the power meter etched into it and lit from behind by LEDs whose brightness is adjustable, the GhostMeter, which shows output power in real time and doubles as the display for the output-tube monitoring and protection system; behind it the four KT150s are visible in a row. The MkII, introduced in 2023, applies what the company learned on its Reference 160S and later designs: a refined topology with fewer and better components in the signal path, a four-layer circuit board of the kind Audio Research had previously reserved for its preamplifiers, a high-energy-capacity output transformer and a bulk storage-capacitance network in the power supply with solid-state regulation. Audio Research describes the result as \"greater clarity from top to bottom, even better transient speed, more vibrant dynamic contrasts, and iron-fisted bass\", and offers the update to owners of original 160Ms as a factory retrofit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAudio Research specifies the 160M at 140 W into the 4, 8 or 16 Ω output taps, with distortion typically 1% at full power and below 0.04% at 1 W, a power bandwidth of 5 Hz to 70 kHz and a frequency response from 0.5 Hz to 110 kHz at −3 dB and 1 W. Input sensitivity is 2.4 V for rated output, a gain of 25.5 dB into 8 Ω, through a balanced XLR input of 200 kΩ; overall negative feedback is 14 dB, output regulation about 0.6 dB from a 16 Ω load to open circuit, a damping factor of about 14, and the slew rate 13 V per microsecond. Those figures describe a tube amplifier of the classic kind: modest feedback and a source impedance that interacts with the loudspeaker, which is why the choice of output tap matters and why the 160M rewards an afternoon of trying the 4 and 8 Ω taps with a given speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eJason Victor Serinus reviewed the original 160M for Stereophile and ended with a one-line verdict, \"it's that good\", having noted in his listening diary \"simply delicious\"; the magazine's sidebar lists a signal-to-noise ratio of 101 dB A-weighted. Alan Sircom in Hi-Fi+ wrote that \"music, all kinds of music, breathes through the REF 160M\" and warned readers not to confuse its satisfying quality with smugness. Tom Martin reviewed the MkII for The Absolute Sound in 2023 and found that \"the first thing they do well is combining mid-range and treble clarity with an absolutely gorgeous tone color\" and that \"the 160M is superb at the delivery of realistic tonal density\", calling the pair \"outstanding amplifiers\". Those accounts agree on an amplifier that gives instruments body and color without the softness that tube amplifiers once implied, and whose triode mode is worth exploring with sensitive loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWithin Audio Research's power amplifiers the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/s-200-stereo-power-amplifier\"\u003eS-200\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/d-80-stereo-power-amplifier\"\u003eD-80\u003c\/a\u003e below it are the stereo amplifiers of the current line, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/audio-research-ref160s-amplifier\"\u003eReference 160S\u003c\/a\u003e is the 160M's circuit in a single stereo chassis at 140 W per channel, for systems that do not need two chassis.

It won amplifier-of-the-year awards from several publications, and in 2019 the company built the stereo version: the Reference 160S puts both channels in one chassis, the same eight KT150s and the same feature set, at about 100 lb and considerably less than a pair of monoblocks. Audio Research's own description is that the 160S keeps the 160M's appearance and features in a single box; the reviewers who compared them found the two close, with the monoblocks keeping a small edge in scale at the limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eEach channel runs four KT150 output tubes, the largest of the KT family, in a fully balanced push-pull circuit driven by 6H30 dual triodes, with 14 dB of overall negative feedback and a damping factor of about 14. Ultralinear mode connects the output tubes' screen grids to taps on the output transformer and delivers 140 W per channel from 20 Hz to 20 kHz; Triode mode ties screen to plate for about 70 W and a different harmonic balance, and the switch is on the front panel. Audio Research's proprietary auto-bias circuit sets the idle current of each tube at every power-up and holds it as the tubes age and the line voltage moves, which the company says extends tube life and reduces residual DC in the output transformers; a tube monitor button lights a green LED for each KT150 that is working, and a recessed display on the back counts the hours on the tube set. KT150s are rated for about 3,000 hours and the 6H30s for about 4,000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe output transformers sit higher in the 160S than in the 160M to make room for additional power-supply capacitance beneath them, under a perforated cover. Inputs are balanced XLR and, new to the Reference series with this generation, single-ended RCA, selected by a rear switch; the output taps are 4, 8 and 16 Ω, and the mains inlet is a 20 A C19 connector, which Audio Research chose for its grip and sound and which means a standard 15 A power cord will not fit. Two quiet fans run continuously at a high or low speed set on the rear panel, an auto-off function shuts the amplifier down after two hours without signal, and a 12 V trigger and an RS-232 port integrate it with a control system. The GhostMeters, two needles reading in watts across an acrylic pane graduated for each mode, can be dimmed or switched off, and the glass front panel shows status and tube hours. The circuit is laid out on a four-layer board for a low noise floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eJim Austin reviewed the Reference 160S for Stereophile (February 2020) with a Reference 6 preamplifier and found both modes lovely, Triode velvety and burnished, Ultralinear with more top-end air and articulation, and an amplifier so free of its own character that \"if the Reference 160 had a sound of its own, I couldn't hear it\"; his practical notes were the depth of the chassis and the C19 inlet. John Atkinson's measurements gave at least 140 W into 8 Ω from the 8 Ω tap in Ultralinear and 70 W in Triode at 1 percent distortion, an output impedance from the 8 Ω tap of 0.7 to 1.1 Ω, which he called commendably low for a tube amplifier, an A-weighted signal-to-noise ratio of 89.2 dB and channel separation above 90 dB below 2 kHz, with a caution that loudspeakers should not be much lower in impedance than the tap feeding them. Alan Sircom in Hi-Fi+ (January 2021) ran it on Wilson Duette Series 2 and Audiovector R1 Arreté and found it \"almost laughably dynamic,\" preferring Ultralinear with the Wilsons and Triode with the Audiovectors; Jeff Fritz at SoundStage! Ultra (December 2020), on Vimberg Tonda, preferred Ultralinear for its dynamics, heard a clean midrange and extended treble, and called the amplifier \"a solid bet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn a system the Reference 160S is the stereo Reference amplifier for a listener whose loudspeakers sit at 4 to 8 Ω and above about 86 dB sensitivity, in a room where 140 W is enough; the Reference 160M monoblocks are the step for larger rooms or harder loads. We pair it with the Reference 7 or Reference 20 line stage, with Sonus faber Homage, Magico A5 and S3 and Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 802 and 803 D4 loudspeakers, with dCS and Linn sources and the PH9 phono stage, using the 4 Ω tap for the Magicos and the 8 Ω tap for the Sonus fabers, and we set the mode by ear in the room. Plan for 24 inches of rack depth, a 20 A power cord and a KT150 set every 3,000 hours; we supply and install matched sets and reset the hours counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWithin Audio Research the Reference 160S sits between the stereo amplifiers of the core line and the monoblocks. The S-100 and S-200 are solid-state; the D-80 is the two-KT150-per-channel tube amplifier on the Reference 80S platform; the Reference 160M MkII monoblocks carry the 160S circuit as a pair with 40 lb more iron per channel, and the Reference 330M is the flagship monoblock. Choose the D-80 for 70 to 80 W in a loudspeaker-friendly room; choose the Reference 160S for 140 W, the Triode option and the Reference build in one chassis; choose a pair of 160M MkIIs when the loudspeakers or the room ask for the last measure of scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight KT150 in two balanced channels.\u003c\/strong\u003e Four matched output tubes per channel in a fully balanced push-pull circuit with 6H30 driver and gain stages; 14 dB overall negative feedback, damping factor about 14.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUltralinear \/ Triode switching.\u003c\/strong\u003e Front-panel choice between 140 W per channel with screen taps on the output transformer and about 70 W with screens tied to plates; the first Reference amplifiers to offer it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary auto-bias.\u003c\/strong\u003e Idle current set for every tube at power-up and held against tube aging and line voltage; extends tube life and reduces residual DC in the output transformers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGhostMeters and tube monitor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two meters floating in front of the tubes behind the glass panel, dimmable or off; a button lights a green LED for each working KT150; rear hours counter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4, 8 and 16 Ω taps.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three output taps with about 0.6 dB regulation from 16 Ω to open circuit; measured output impedance 0.7 – 1.1 Ω from the 8 Ω tap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced and single-ended inputs.\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR and RCA inputs selected on the rear panel, 300 kΩ and 100 kΩ; 2.4 V balanced for rated output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooling and control.\u003c\/strong\u003e Two quiet fans at switchable speed, auto-off after two hours without signal, 12 V trigger, RS-232 and a 20 A C19 mains inlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#c3c4c6;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNatural\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003esilver anodized aluminum with glass front panel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#1d1d1f;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003eblack anodized aluminum with glass front panel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eBoth finishes are the same price.

Inside the 440 mm case are a preamplifier and a power amplifier built as independent modules, each with its own LIFES 1.0 feedback engine, with two pre-outputs and a main input on the back so that the two halves can be used apart or with another amplifier. The L-509Z took over from the L-509X of 2018 as the top of the integrated range, reaching North America in 2023 and the UK in January 2024, and it was the first integrated amplifier to carry the circuit Luxman had introduced in the M-10X power amplifier of 2021 and the C-10X preamplifier. The L-507Z and L-505Z that followed share the engine at lower power; the L-509Z is the one with the LECUA-EX attenuator, the largest supply and the full feature set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eLIFES, Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System, is the successor to the ODNF circuit the company used from 1999 to 2022. Both work on the same principle: rather than feeding the whole output signal back to the input, the circuit extracts only the difference between input and output, the distortion component, and feeds that back, so the amplifier measures like a feedback design without the character that global feedback imposes on a signal. Luxman's figures for the change from ODNF 4.0 to LIFES 1.0 are distortion cut by more than half and signal-to-noise improved by 3 dB. In the L-509Z the preamplifier section is fully discrete, replacing the op-amps and buffers of the L-509X, and the power amplifier is a three-stage Darlington output with four pairs of bipolar transistors per channel in push-pull, rated at 120 W into 8 Ω and 220 W into 4 Ω with a damping factor of 330. Low-resistance speaker relays run in parallel and 3.5 mm² internal cable carries the output to the terminals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe volume control is LECUA-EX, the attenuator the C-10X and M-10X generation introduced. A weighted knob drives a rotary encoder with no connection to the audio; the signal passes through electronically switched fixed resistors in 88 steps from 0 to 87 dB, so there is no wiper to wear, no channel imbalance at low settings and a seven-segment display between the meters that shows the attenuation. The supply is a 600 VA EI-core transformer feeding eight 10,000 µF capacitors, 40,000 µF per channel, with new Toshin and Nippon Chemi-Con parts throughout. The circuit boards carry peel-coat finish on the main signal path and curved gold traces in the power amplifier, laid out in Luxman's beeline routing from input to speaker terminal with no right-angle bends. The casework is an ultra-thick hairline-finished aluminum top with 28 machined ventilation chambers, blasted aluminum front and side panels, powder-coated steel beneath and four large cast-iron feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe L-509Z is an analog amplifier with an analog feature set. The phono stage takes MM, high-output MC and low-output MC cartridges with a two-step MC gain switch and a front-panel mute; John Atkinson measured its overload margin at 29 dB for MM and found it, in his words, \"overload-proof.\" Tone controls cover bass at 100 Hz, a new middle band at 760 Hz for voices and lead instruments, and treble at 10 kHz, each ±8 dB, with loudness, balance and a line-straight button that removes all of them from the path. Two headphone outputs sit on the front panel, a 6.3 mm jack and a 4.4 mm balanced jack with independent left and right grounding. Inputs are four RCA line pairs, two balanced XLR pairs, phono and main-in; outputs are two pre-outs and two switched speaker pairs for bi-wiring, with 12 V trigger and control terminals. The two LED-backlit VU meters and the display can be dimmed or switched off from the RA-17A remote, which also runs Luxman disc players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eKen Micallef reviewed the L-509Z for Stereophile in February 2024 on Volti Razz, DeVore O\/baby, Spendor BC-1 and GoldenEar BRX loudspeakers, and after a long break-in found large, dense images, a deep stage, a very low noise floor and a character that let the recording through: \"The Luxman L-509Z never shouts, barks, or begs.\" He rated it Class A, with reservations about the heavy loudness contour, some remote-only controls and a tonal balance less sweet than his tube references. John Atkinson's measurements gave 140 W into 8 Ω and 225 W into 4 Ω at 1 percent THD+N, 43.7 dB of gain, 0.1 Ω output impedance and distortion below the noise floor up to 30 W. What Hi-Fi? (May 2024) scored sound, build and features 5 out of 5 on ATC SCM50 and Wilson Benesch Discovery 3Zero, called it \"a superb all-round package\" and noted that it needs careful partnering and sounds slightly less rich than a Moon 641 or McIntosh MA8950. Hi-Fi News awarded 88 percent, and Paul Miller's lab report measured 152 W and 255 W continuous into 8 and 4 Ω, 449 W dynamic into 2 Ω, 0.021 to 0.052 Ω output impedance and distortion steady at about 0.002 percent from 1 W to rated power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a system the L-509Z is the amplifier for a listener who wants one box with a real phono stage and tone controls, enough current for a 4 Ω loudspeaker and the look of Luxman's meters. We pair it with Sonus faber Olympica and Serafino, Magico A3 and A5, Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 800 Series and Linn 150 loudspeakers, with the D-07X or D-100 CENTENNIAL as digital source, an NT-07 for streaming and a PD-191A or PD-151 Mark II turntable into the built-in phono stage; the E-07 is the step up for a low-output MC. Choose the L-507Z for most of the same engineering at 110 W with the LECUA 1000 attenuator; choose the L-100 CENTENNIAL for 20 W of pure Class A; choose the L-509Z for the power, the LECUA-EX, the headphone outputs and the ability to grow into C-10X and M-10X separates through its pre-outs and main-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLIFES 1.0, twice.\u003c\/strong\u003e Independent Luxman Integrated Feedback Engine System modules in the preamplifier and the power amplifier; only the distortion component is fed back; distortion halved and S\/N up 3 dB against ODNF 4.0.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully discrete preamplifier.\u003c\/strong\u003e Op-amps and buffers of the L-509X replaced by discrete circuitry; two pre-outs and a main-in allow the sections to be used separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour-parallel push-pull output.\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-stage Darlington bipolar output with four pairs per channel; 120 W into 8 Ω, 220 W into 4 Ω; damping factor 330; parallel speaker relays and 3.5 mm² wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLECUA-EX attenuator.\u003c\/strong\u003e Electronically switched fixed resistors in 88 steps from 0 to 87 dB with a weighted knob driving an encoder outside the signal path; seven-segment attenuation display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e600 VA EI transformer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Eight 10,000 µF filter capacitors, 40,000 µF per channel, with Toshin and Nippon Chemi-Con parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMM\/MC phono stage.\u003c\/strong\u003e MM, MC high and MC low settings with two-step MC gain and a front-panel mute; 29 dB overload margin measured by Stereophile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-band tone and line straight.\u003c\/strong\u003e Bass 100 Hz, middle 760 Hz, treble 10 kHz, each ±8 dB, with loudness and balance, all bypassed by line straight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeel-coat boards and beeline routing.\u003c\/strong\u003e Peel-coat finish on the main signal boards, curved gold traces in the power amplifier, no right-angle bends; ultra-thick aluminum top with 28 machined vents on cast-iron feet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#d9d7d2;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlasted white\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003eblasted aluminum front and sides, hairline-finished aluminum top\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eOne finish is offered.

The principle is the same as the ODNF circuit it replaces: the amplifier compares its output with its input, extracts only the distortion component and feeds that back, leaving the music signal itself untouched by the feedback loop. Luxman says the redesign reduces distortion in the amplification stage to less than half that of the previous system. The output stage is a three-stage Darlington with three pairs of bipolar transistors per channel in push-pull, rated at 110 W into 8 Ω and 220 W into 4 Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe volume control is the new LECUA1000, an 88-step electronically controlled attenuator placed inside the amplifier circuit and followed by a discrete buffer stage with the current reserves to drive the power amplifier section. A rotary knob keeps the operation conventional; what changes is that the signal no longer passes through a potentiometer. The built-in phono stage handles MM and MC cartridges, and the usual Luxman conveniences are present: bass and treble tone controls, loudness, left-right balance, a line-straight bypass, a separate button that splits the preamplifier and power amplifier for bi-amping or home theater integration, and a mute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe chassis follows the Z Series design, with a thick blasted-white front panel, a hairline-finished aluminum top and large LED-backlit VU meters flanking a seven-segment attenuation display. Headphone listeners get both a 6.3 mm jack and a 4.4 mm balanced jack with independent left and right grounding. Internally the signal path is laid out in Luxman's \"beeline\" style, with non-angled circuit traces, parallel low-resistance speaker relays and proprietary OFC wire run directly to the speaker terminals. The unit sits on density-gradient cast-iron feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eHans Wetzel, reviewing for SoundStage! Ultra in August 2023, found its sound \"beyond reproach, being at once linear and dynamic, highly engaging yet non-fatiguing\", with \"no added tonal color or editorializing, no hash or edge, just wicked transparency to the source\".

Luxman's amplifiers since the 1990s have used ODNF, a feedback scheme that extracts only the distortion components from the output and feeds those back, leaving the music signal itself out of the loop; the company's argument is that this gives the stability and low distortion of feedback without the sound it associates with global feedback. LIFES is ODNF rebuilt from the ground up: a simpler circuit with, Luxman says, half the number of parallel elements, lower distortion and a wider bandwidth, so that the amplifier behaves like a non-feedback design while measuring like a feedback one. In the M-10X, LIFES 1.0 drives an output stage of two three-stage Darlington circuits, each with four paralleled push-pull pairs, a 4 × 2 configuration Luxman chose to hold its performance into difficult loads, and the stage runs in pure class A up to 12 W before crossing into class AB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe ratings are 150 W per channel into 8 Ω and 300 W into 4 Ω, with an instantaneous capability of 1,200 W per channel into 1 Ω, and a BTL switch bridges the two channels into a 600 W monoblock into 8 Ω or 2,400 W into 2 Ω; many owners begin with one M-10X and add a second. The power supply is an EI-core transformer rated at 1,250 VA continuous and 2,500 VA instantaneous, wound with flat copper, feeding four 20,000 µF capacitors in left and right banks. Distortion is 0.003% or less at 1 kHz into 8 Ω and 0.04% across the band, the signal-to-noise ratio 117 dB, the frequency response within 0.1 dB from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and −3 dB at 130 kHz, and the damping factor 600, which is the figure that tells you the M-10X will hold a large woofer still. John Atkinson's measurements for Stereophile found clipping at 202 W into 8 Ω and 350 W into 4 Ω, THD+N of 0.002% at 50 W into 8 Ω, an output impedance of 0.06 Ω and a signal-to-noise ratio of 115.6 dB referred to full power, and he concluded that \"the Luxman M-10X offers superb measured performance\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eStereophile's listening review found that \"the midrange was clean, uncolored, and detailed\", that \"the Luxman's presentation was so compelling and so richly detailed\" that the reviewer kept returning to it, and closed with \"highly recommended\". That is consistent with what Luxman has been building toward for thirty years: an amplifier that is quiet and controlled but not clinical, with the slight warmth and generous midrange that Luxman owners recognize, and the power to drive anything a domestic room will hold. The casework carries the cues of Luxman's separates: a blasted white finish, beveled front edges and two needle-movement level meters with LED illumination that can be dimmed or switched off; in BTL mode the left meter reads for the mono channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eConnection is through one pair of copper-alloy RCA inputs and one pair of balanced XLR inputs with a phase-invert switch for sources wired pin 2 cold, selected from the front panel; input sensitivity is 1.24 V for full output, a gain of 29 dB, into 51 kΩ unbalanced or 28 kΩ balanced. A 12 V trigger input and output and a 3.5 mm control link switch the M-10X on and off with the C-10X preamplifier or another compatible component. The M-10X draws 290 W at idle and 540 W at full output, runs warm rather than hot, and at 48.4 kg needs a shelf or amplifier stand rated for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eWithin Luxman's amplifiers the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/luxman-l-509z\"\u003eL-509Z\u003c\/a\u003e is the flagship integrated, with the same LIFES circuit at 120 W per channel, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/l-507z\"\u003eL-507Z\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/luxman-l-505z-integrated-amplifier\"\u003eL-505Z\u003c\/a\u003e sit below it; the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/luxman-l-100\"\u003eL-100\u003c\/a\u003e is the class A integrated.

It is a negative-feedback RIAA equalizer with a parallel FET first stage for low noise, and, unusually at the price, it handles moving-coil cartridges through built-in step-up transformers with super permalloy cores, independent for left and right, rather than through additional active gain. Two gain settings cover high-output MC at 40 Ω and low-output MC at 2.5 Ω, and MM cartridges see 38 dB with a choice of 34, 47, 56 or 100 kΩ load and 0 to 320 pF of capacitance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eTwo inputs are provided, each with its own cartridge type setting, so an owner with two turntables, or one deck with two arms, can switch between them from the front panel. A mono switch sums the channels for mono records, a low-cut switch tames the subsonic output of warped discs, and the articulator demagnetizes the cartridge and the transformer cores using the music signal current, a function Luxman says restores lost sound quality. The power supply uses a large low-profile block capacitor and a discrete regulator, and the circuit board uses Luxman's rounded trace pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eAt 364 mm wide and 81 mm tall the E-250 is a compact unit with a blasted-white aluminum front panel and lever switches, and it has collected a number of awards in Japan and elsewhere since launch. Its 300 Ω output drives any line input.

McIntosh built the MC257 to avoid that trade. Each of its seven channels is a complete push-pull complementary solid-state amplifier of the same design used in the company's stereo amplifiers, fed from a toroidal isolation transformer wound to run quietly, and cooled by five of the monogrammed heatsinks that bolt directly to the output transistors. There is no fan, because a fan is audible in the quiet passages of a film. With all seven channels driven the MC257 delivers 200 watts each into 4 or 8 ohm loudspeakers; when only the front left, center and right channels are working it gives them 250 watts each, which is how most two-channel listening through a theater system is done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe output stage uses Dynamic Power Manager rather than the Autoformer of McIntosh's stereo amplifiers. DPM is a direct-coupled output whose power supply and output transistors are arranged so the rated power holds into 4 or 8 ohms regardless of how many channels are working; it keeps the chassis to 95 pounds where seven Autoformers would have doubled that. Compared with the MC207 it replaced in 2019, the MC257 has 20 percent more power-supply filter capacitance, and dynamic headroom rises from 1.7 to 3.3 dB. That figure describes how far above the rating the amplifier can go for a fraction of a second, and in a theater it is what separates an explosion that lands from one that compresses. Distortion is specified at 0.005 percent and the damping factor exceeds 140 into 8 ohms, so a woofer stops when the signal stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe TripleView meter is the MC257's signature: one 15-inch glass window with three blue needles, each tracking the real-time output of a front channel, lit by direct LEDs that can be switched off for a dark room. Behind it, Power Guard watches each channel for the onset of clipping and trims the input in the microseconds before it happens, so a loud soundtrack never sends a flattened waveform to a tweeter, and Sentry Monitor disengages the output stage if a short circuit draws unsafe current, then resets itself. Every channel has both a balanced and an unbalanced input, the speaker terminals are gold-plated binding posts, and the amplifier switches itself off after a set period without signal. Power Control jacks let the processor turn it on, either as seven channels or as two zones of five and two, so a pair of channels can serve a second room on its own trigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eSecrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity's Jim Clements reviewed the MC257 with the MX170 processor in December 2020 and called the pairing one that checked every performance box for signal integrity and immersion, with power to spare.

Each channel is built as two matched balanced amplifiers whose outputs are combined in the Autoformer, so noise and distortion that the two halves have in common cancel at the output; McIntosh calls the arrangement Quad Balanced, rates distortion at 0.005 percent and signal-to-noise at 122 dB below rated output. The Autoformers, one per channel, hand the loudspeaker the full 450 watts per channel at 2, 4 or 8 ohms, so a difficult load gets no less power than an easy one and the output transistors are isolated from the loudspeaker's reactive impedance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eCompared with the MC452 it replaced in 2018, McIntosh increased filter capacity by nearly 50 percent, which raised dynamic headroom from 1.8 to 3.0 dB; that reserve is what lets the amplifier ride an orchestral or electronic peak without losing its grip. On Stereophile's bench the MC462 clipped at 516 watts into 8 ohms from the 8 ohm tap with both channels driven, and Erin's Audio Corner measured 538 to 548 watts per channel at 1 percent distortion into 8 and 4 ohms in 2023, each comfortably above the rating. Power Guard adjusts the input in real time to keep clipping away from the loudspeakers, Sentry Monitor provides fuseless short-circuit protection, thermal sensors watch the heatsinks, and the amplifier can shut itself off after a period without signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eBalanced and unbalanced inputs are provided, and balanced and unbalanced outputs pass the signal on to a second amplifier for bi-amplification or tri-amplification, or to a powered subwoofer. Loudspeakers connect to McIntosh's gold-plated Solid Cinch binding posts at the 2, 4 and 8 ohm taps, and Remote Power Control in and out sequence the amplifier with a McIntosh preamplifier. Two large blue watt meters sit in the glass front panel, with a switch to turn their illumination off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eSasha Matson reviewed the MC462 for Stereophile in May 2019 with John Atkinson's measurements. At 115 pounds and 22½ inches deep including the handles and cable clearance, the MC462 needs a solid amplifier stand or the bottom of a rack, with free air above its heatsinks; Pearl Audio delivers and places it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe MC462 is the match for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c55-preamplifier\"\u003eC55\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c2800-preamplifier\"\u003eC2800\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c22\"\u003eC22 Mk V\u003c\/a\u003e preamplifiers, and for loudspeakers that reward current: Pearl Audio pairs it with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/802-d5\"\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 802 D5\u003c\/a\u003e, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonus-faber-amati-supreme\"\u003eSonus faber Amati Supreme\u003c\/a\u003e and McIntosh's own \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-xrt1-1k-floorstanding-loudspeaker\"\u003eXRT1.1K\u003c\/a\u003e.

The first is the output Autoformer, a tapped transformer McIntosh winds in Binghamton that sits between the output transistors and the loudspeaker. Transistor amplifiers deliver their rated power only into the load they were designed around; the Autoformer presents the output stage with the same load whether the speaker is 2, 4 or 8 ohms, so all 300 watts are available at each terminal set and the transistors never see the low impedance that raises distortion and heat. The second is Power Guard, a comparator that watches the input and output waveforms and, in the fraction of a second before the amplifier would clip, trims the input level so that the loudspeaker is driven hard but never with a flattened waveform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eCompared with the MC302 it replaced in 2018, the MC312 has twice the power-supply filter capacitance. The extra reserve lifts dynamic headroom from 1.8 to 2.3 dB, which means a short orchestral peak or a drum transient can draw well above the 300-watt rating before the supply sags, and it tightens the bass on sustained low notes. McIntosh also moved the Autoformers and power transformer into a new enclosure with glass inserts showing their wiring diagrams, lit the glass front panel with direct LEDs for more even color, and added the monogrammed heatsinks that connect directly to the output transistors so the amplifier reaches thermal equilibrium quickly and needs no fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe rear panel has two balanced and two unbalanced inputs, selected from the front, and balanced and unbalanced outputs that pass the signal on to a second amplifier for bi-amping, a powered subwoofer or another room. Sentry Monitor protects against short circuits without fuses and resets itself, a power-management circuit switches the amplifier off after a period without signal, and Power Control jacks let a McIntosh preamplifier start and stop the whole system. The two blue Watt meters read peak output in real time and can be switched off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eSecrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity's Todd Cooperider named the MC312 Best Stereo Power Amplifier of 2019 and wrote that it rivaled or exceeded much more expensive amplifiers, including his own reference; NOVO's Andre Marc called it among the most refined amplifiers he had heard in its price range. At 105 pounds it needs a solid shelf or an amplifier stand, and its 22-inch depth includes the handles and connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a McIntosh system the MC312 is the amplifier for the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c55-preamplifier\"\u003eC55\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c2800-preamplifier\"\u003eC2800\u003c\/a\u003e preamplifier, and the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-c49-preamplifier\"\u003eC49\u003c\/a\u003e it was introduced alongside remains available while stock lasts.

That is the premise of the MC303. Introduced in 2009 as the first McIntosh multichannel amplifier with Autoformer-coupled outputs, it puts three 300-watt channels in one chassis, each with its own output Autoformer wound in Binghamton. The Autoformer sits between the output transistors and the loudspeaker and presents the transistors with the same load whether the speaker is 2, 4 or 8 ohms, so each channel delivers its full 300 watts at any of the three terminal sets and never works into the low impedance that raises distortion and heat. Stereophile's Kalman Rubinson, reviewing it in his Music in the Round column in May 2009, found that McIntosh's claim of very high short-term power on music bursts into any load was borne out, and that the MC303 improved the sound of his Bowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 802Ds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe circuit is push-pull complementary solid state with a specified distortion of 0.005 percent and a signal-to-noise ratio of 112 dB, figures that match McIntosh's stereo amplifiers rather than the typical multichannel unit. Power Guard compares each channel's input and output waveforms and trims the input in the microseconds before clipping, so a loud soundtrack reaches the loudspeaker loud rather than flattened; Rubinson never saw its indicators flicker. Sentry Monitor disengages the output stage if current reaches an unsafe level and resets itself when the fault clears. Three blue Watt meters, one per channel, read peak output in real time and switch off for a dark room, and the illumination throughout is LED fed through fiber optics, which gives the glass an even color and never needs a lamp replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003ePhysically the MC303 is in McIntosh's inverted chassis style, with the glass front panel, machined aluminum handles and polished stainless steel of the company's largest stereo amplifiers, and at 155 pounds it is the heaviest multichannel amplifier the company makes. The handles are not decorative. Plan a solid low shelf or an amplifier stand on the floor, 22 inches of depth including cables, and free air above the heatsinks.

A proprietary 10-inch JL Audio driver is driven by a 1,100-watt switching amplifier with a large toroidal transformer, and an onboard DSP runs D.A.R.O., JL's 18-band Digital Automatic Room Optimization, set up with the included calibration microphone.

Reviewers found the f110v2 packs a real punch for its size, though it can't match the larger Fathoms for extension and output; it reaches 25 Hz at −3 dB.

Its true two-way crossover sets the low-pass for the sub and offers high-pass line outputs, so the deepest bass can be taken off your main speakers. Each E-Sub is built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eReviewers describe the e110 as smooth and balanced, with clean, deep bass that seems out of proportion to the box; it reaches 23 Hz at −3 dB. It's an easy match for small standmount speakers and for stereo systems where the sub should be felt more than heard. It has no built-in room correction, so setup relies on placement and its phase, crossover and polarity controls. For larger rooms or more movie output, the e112 has the same feature set with a 12-inch driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-excursion driver.\u003c\/strong\u003e A deep-architecture JL Audio driver with a DMA-optimized motor for linear excursion at high output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary switching amplifier.\u003c\/strong\u003e Efficient and compact, so the cabinet stays small for the output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue two-way crossover.\u003c\/strong\u003e High-pass line outputs can take the deepest bass off your main speakers for a cleaner hand-off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker-level inputs.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds an E-Sub to amplifiers and receivers that have no line-level sub output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed cabinet.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2e2a27;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003eblack ash vinyl veneer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#0d0d0d;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGloss Black\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ehigh-gloss black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eSupplied with a grille.

Like the e110, it has a true two-way crossover with high-pass line outputs, so it can relieve your main speakers of the deepest bass, and speaker-level inputs for amplifiers without a sub output. It is built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eReviewers found the e112 smooth and composed, nearly indistinguishable from the e110 at normal levels but clearly ahead in the deepest bass and at high volume, where its extra output gives films real physical impact. It reaches 21 Hz at −3 dB. It suits medium rooms and floorstanding or large standmount speakers. There's no built-in room correction, so placement and the phase and crossover controls matter; for automatic room optimization, look at the Fathom range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eKey technologies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 20px;padding-left:18px\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-excursion driver.\u003c\/strong\u003e A deep-architecture JL Audio driver with a DMA-optimized motor for linear excursion at high output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProprietary switching amplifier.\u003c\/strong\u003e Efficient and compact, so the cabinet stays small for the output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrue two-way crossover.\u003c\/strong\u003e High-pass line outputs can take the deepest bass off your main speakers for a cleaner hand-off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeaker-level inputs.\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds an E-Sub to amplifiers and receivers that have no line-level sub output.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 5px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed cabinet.\u003c\/strong\u003e Built and individually tested in JL Audio's U.S. factory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-size:16px\"\u003eFinishes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;margin:0 0 6px;padding:0\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#2e2a27;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Ash\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003eblack ash vinyl veneer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display:flex;align-items:center;gap:10px;margin:0 0 6px\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"flex:0 0 18px;width:18px;height:18px;border-radius:50%;background:#0d0d0d;border:1px solid #d8d5ce\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGloss Black\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color:#55524c\"\u003ehigh-gloss black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:13.5px;color:#55524c\"\u003eSupplied with a grille.

A 750-watt Class D amplifier with a tightly regulated switching power supply drives it, and the 24 dB\/octave Linkwitz-Riley low-pass filter, phase and polarity controls cover the setup basics.

The C55's is solid state, and its numbers show why: 0.005 percent distortion, 100 dB signal-to-noise, a bandwidth of 15 Hz to 100 kHz and 16 volts of balanced output. Volume is a digitally controlled balanced attenuator accurate to 0.1 dB, input switching is electromagnetic rather than mechanical, and every supply is fully regulated from an R-core transformer chosen for low radiated noise. Blue output meters behind the black glass show the signal level leaving the preamplifier. It takes over from the C53.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eNine analog inputs include three balanced, four unbalanced and two phono inputs, each of which can be set to moving coil or moving magnet with gain selectable at 40, 46, 52, 58 or 64 dB, so two turntables or two tonearms can run with cartridges of any output. The DA2 Digital Audio Module adds two coaxial and two optical inputs to 24-bit\/192 kHz, USB to DSD512 and 384 kHz DXD, an MCT input for CD and SACD audio from a McIntosh transport, and HDMI ARC, which folds Dolby and DTS television sound to stereo and lets the TV remote run volume. The converter is McIntosh's eight-channel, 32-bit Quad Balanced design, and the module can be replaced by a successor without replacing the preamplifier. The eight-band analog equalizer adjusts 12 dB per band and bypasses per input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe output side is where the C55 earns the words control center. Three stereo pairs of balanced and unbalanced variable outputs run at once. Main and Output 1 carry adjustable high-pass and low-pass filters for bi-amplification, Output 1 has its own trim, and Output 2 runs mono or stereo for one or two powered subwoofers or a second listening area. A processor loop with unbalanced send and return accepts an equalizer or room-correction component, and Home Theater PassThru lets a surround processor use the C55's amplifiers for the front channels. A network port carries the McIntosh Connect app for volume, input and output selection and firmware updates, with Control4 and Crestron Home certification for whole-house systems; RS232, six data ports, an IR input and five Power Control outputs run the rest of a McIntosh rack. The High Drive headphone output includes HXD crossfeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe Ear's Chris Kelly reviewed the C55 in November 2024 and McIntosh cites its five-star verdict. At 28 pounds and 7⅝ inches high it is an easy component to place; it turns itself off after 30 minutes without signal unless that feature is disabled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003ePearl Audio pairs the C55 with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mc462-amplifier\"\u003eMC462\u003c\/a\u003e for a solid-state reference system, or with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mc312-amplifier\"\u003eMC312\u003c\/a\u003e and a pair of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mc611-power-amplifier\"\u003eMC611\u003c\/a\u003e monoblocks on the Main and Output 1 feeds in a bi-amplified system, with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mt5-turntable\"\u003eMT5 turntable\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mcintosh-mcd600\"\u003eMCD600\u003c\/a\u003e as sources.

An Autoformer presents the output transistors with the load they were designed for whether the loudspeaker is nominally 2, 4 or 8 ohms, so the full 200 watts per channel is available at each tap and the transistors never see a reactive load directly. Compared with the MA8900 it replaced in 2022, McIntosh doubled the power-supply filter capacity, which lifted dynamic headroom from 2.0 to 3.1 dB, and fitted the DA2 module in place of the DA1. Distortion is rated at 0.005 percent and the power amplifier input's signal-to-noise at 113 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eNine analog inputs include one balanced, six unbalanced on gold-plated connectors, and two phono inputs: a moving-coil input with loading selectable at 50, 100, 200, 400 or 1,000 ohms and a moving-magnet input fixed at 47 kΩ, each with its own ground, so two turntables or a two-arm table can stay connected. The DA2 adds two coaxial and two optical inputs, USB to 32-bit\/384 kHz PCM, DXD and DSD512, an MCT input that carries CD audio and the DSD64 layer of an SACD from a McIntosh transport, and HDMI ARC, which brings television sound into the main loudspeakers, folds Dolby and DTS to stereo and lets the TV remote run power and volume over CEC.

Luxman has built turntables since the PD-121 of the 1970s, and the PD-191A keeps that generation's proportions, a rosewood-stained solid wood front below an aluminum top plate with the speed controls in a row, while the engineering beneath is current. It is the deck Luxman shows with the C-10X, M-10X and E-07, and it is the reference against which the PD-151 Mark II below it is measured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe platter is 35 mm of machined aluminum with a diamond-cut finish, 5.2 kg with a moment of inertia of 0.7 t·cm², turning on a 16 mm stainless-steel spindle that rests on a PEEK thrust pad inside a brass radial bearing lubricated with organic molybdenum oil. An EPDM belt couples it to a brushless DC motor whose speed is held by PID control: a MEMS oscillator provides the reference, a sine-wave PWM drive turns the motor smoothly rather than in steps, and the controller corrects any deviation continuously. Three speeds, 33⅓, 45 and 78 rpm, are each adjustable by ±6 percent with a screwdriver against the reflected LED stroboscope on the platter edge. Luxman specifies wow and flutter at 0.04 percent W.R.M.S. or less; Paul Miller's Hi-Fi News lab report found 33.34 rpm against 33.33, low-rate stability he described as direct-drive standard, 0.06 percent peak wow and 0.02 percent flutter, rumble of −68.8 dB through the bearing and −72.6 dB through the groove (DIN-B), and five seconds from rest to speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe LTA-710 is a static-balance S-shaped universal tonearm with a concealed vertical knife-edge bearing, a design SAEC has refined for fifty years and one that gives very low friction without the stiction of a ball race; Hi-Fi News measured bearing friction under 15 mg. Effective length is 256 mm, overhang 16 mm, tracking error +1.07 to −1.52 degrees, effective mass about 15 g, and it accepts cartridges from 4 to 11 g, or 17 to 24 g with headshell, with 22 mm of height adjustment and anti-skating from 0 to 4 g. The supplied aluminum headshell carries Luxman's D.U.C.C. high-purity copper lead wires, the pre-installed phono cable is audio-grade OFC with a 5-pin DIN plug at the arm, and a heavier counterweight is available for cartridges to 19 g. There is no azimuth adjustment on the arm itself; it is set at the headshell. The arm sits on a removable board, so a nine- or ten-inch arm from SME, Ikeda, SAEC or Ortofon can replace it or be added, and an external arm base takes a twelve-inch arm such as the SME 3012 as a second arm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe chassis is the other half of the design. The top plate is 15 mm aluminum with the working parts hung beneath it, which stiffens the structure and lowers its center of gravity; the motor sits offset in the lower chassis and, with the float-mounted power transformer, is carried on a thick bottom plate on damping rubber so that neither feeds vibration into the platter bearing or the arm. The center of gravity is 12 mm lower than the PD-171A's. Four large insulator feet adjust up to 5 mm for leveling, the gold-plated IEC inlet is mounted reversed to accept a heavy power cable, and the optional 4 mm acrylic dust cover hangs on cam-and-spring hinges that hold it at any angle. Luxman's own LMC-5 moving coil was designed for this arm, and the E-07 phono stage for this deck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003ePaul Seydor reviewed the PD-191A for The Absolute Sound in 2025 with five cartridges, from a Shure V15 V to a DS Audio ES-3, against his Garrard 301 and SME M2-12R, and found it neutral enough to let each cartridge sound like itself, with more authority, scale and grip than the PD-151A on large orchestral and rock material and a lower noise floor; against its predecessor the PD-191A \"exhibited a greater impression of sheer authority,\" and he called the deck and arm \"an almost textbook example of intelligent table\/arm ergonomics,\" a design he could live with indefinitely. His reservations were the lack of azimuth adjustment, the choice between a second arm board and one dust-cover hinge, and the arm's limited suitability for cartridges outside its mass range. Hi-Fi News found the arm suits moving coils of the Kiseki and Koetsu class, which sounded more precise without losing their warmth, and that setup takes about fifteen minutes: \"any terror associated with setting up high-end turntables has been obviated.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eIn a system the PD-191A is a complete deck in need of a cartridge and a phono stage. We fit it with Luxman's LMC-5, Ortofon Cadenza and Verismo, Koetsu, Hana Umami and Linn Kendo cartridges, run it into the E-07 or E-250 phono stage or the MC input of an L-509Z or L-507Z, and place it on a rigid, level shelf with the dust cover for a household with children or pets.

The preamplifier stage runs two 12AX7A and two 12AT7 tubes, visible in cages on a polished stainless-steel top plate between a pair of dual-scale blue watt meters that read output into 8 and 4 ohm loads. The power amplifier is solid state and direct coupled, rated at 200 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 320 watts into 4, with 0.03 percent distortion, 1.5 dB of dynamic headroom and a damping factor above 200. Because there is no Autoformer, power rises into a lower-impedance load, which is what a direct-coupled stage with a large supply does well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eMcIntosh left digital out on purpose. Six analog inputs, two of them balanced, join a moving-magnet phono input whose loading is adjustable rather than fixed, so the amplifier is built around a turntable, a CD player, or an external streamer and DAC of your choosing; when converters improve, the source changes and the amplifier stays. Signal-to-noise is 93 dB on both the line inputs and the phono input, a notably quiet figure for a built-in phono stage. The tubes signal their state as on the MA252: amber during warm-up, green in operation, and a flash of amber on a channel where Power Guard has intervened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eThe five-band analog equalizer, adjustable by 12 dB per band and bypassable per input, replaces the simple bass and treble of the MA252 and makes a real difference with a bright recording or a bass-heavy room. The back panel adds what the MA252 lacks: two subwoofer outputs, a variable preamplifier output for a second amplifier, Home Theater PassThru so a surround processor can drive the front loudspeakers at fixed gain, RS232, two data ports, an IR input and a Power Control output. The High Drive headphone output gains McIntosh's HXD crossfeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eHi-Fi World's Noel Keywood gave the MA352 five Globes in February 2020, and SoundStage! Australia's Edgar Kramer reviewed it that October; both treated it as a complete analog control center rather than a tube curiosity. At 66 pounds and 17 7\/16 inches deep it is a conventional full-width component that needs open air above its heatsinks and cable room behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe MA352 suits a listener who already owns a good digital source and wants a tube front end with real power behind it: 200 watts into 8 ohms and 320 into 4 will drive most floorstanding loudspeakers in a medium or large room, including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sonus-faber-olympica-iii-g3\"\u003eSonus faber Olympica III G3\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/804-d5\"\u003eBowers \u0026amp; Wilkins 804 D5\u003c\/a\u003e that Pearl Audio pairs with it.

The arm tube is machined from titanium, which smooths the resonant behavior of a conventional alloy tube. The main pillar and bearing housing are stainless steel, holding the ultra-low-friction bearings, specified at less than 20 mg in both planes, in precise adjustment as the room warms or the deck is moved. Downforce and anti-skate are set by temperature-compensated precision springs, so the arm tracks the same at the end of the evening as at the start. Each arm is built by hand, and the long headshell accepts almost any cartridge; Linn's recommended partners are its own Ekstatik and Kendo. A T-Kable is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eArt Dudley, reviewing the Ekos SE for Stereophile at its launch, found that \"the newer arm was clearly better than its predecessor at allowing phono cartridges to perform at their best,\" with his Akiva tracking difficult passages more cleanly than in the original Ekos. It has been the arm of the Klimax LP12 ever since: Herb Reichert's 2022 Stereophile review found that deck's tempo, focus and immediacy \"near-laboratory quality,\" and Ed Selley's 2026 review for The Ear called the current Klimax \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eWith 11.5 g of effective mass and a 3 to 9 g cartridge range, the Ekos SE suits Linn's moving coils and most low- to medium-compliance cartridges.

The circuit is dual mono. Gain is fixed at 62.5 dB and the input load at 75 Ω in parallel with 10 nF, values chosen for Linn's low-output moving coils and suited to many others; RIAA accuracy is ±0.15 dB. Power and control come from the Radikal, which also drives the LP12's DC motor, so a Radikal is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eOutputs are a pair of direct-coupled RCA at 300 Ω and a pair of transformer-coupled balanced XLR at 600 Ω, so Urika feeds any analog preamplifier. Herb Reichert reviewed a Klimax LP12 fitted with Urika and the machined Radikal for Stereophile and found its tempo, focus and immediacy \"near-laboratory quality.\" Urika is not adjustable and does not take moving magnet cartridges; it is built for Linn's MC range and comparable low-output designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eUrika is the analog of Linn's two internal phono stages. If your system is built around a Linn DS or DSM with Exakt Link, the Urika II digitizes the signal inside the deck instead; if you use a conventional preamplifier, Urika is the one.

It converts the cartridge signal to digital at the earliest possible point and applies the RIAA curve in the digital domain, which Linn says gives the most precise implementation of the curve and lower distortion and noise than an analog network. Each unit is measured at the factory and its analog tolerances corrected in software. The music travels losslessly over Exakt Link to a Linn DS or DSM with Exakt sockets, staying digital until the player's DAC or the Exakt speakers; a Toslink output at 24-bit\/192 kHz is available alongside, but only while Exakt Link is connected, since the link supplies the clock and power triggers. A Radikal supplies the power, and the Urika II runs only while the platter turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eAt installation your dealer selects the cartridge in Linn's software from a preset list, which includes Linn's own cartridges and a number of popular moving coils from Dynavector, Lyra, Benz, EMT, Audio-Technica and others, or enters gain, input resistance and capacitance by hand. Change cartridges and you change the settings, not the hardware. Alan Sircom, reviewing Urika II for Hi-Fi+, concluded that \"the detail, the timing, and the atomic-clock like precision win,\" and that \"if you like the Urika, you'll want the Urika II.\" It is the phono stage Linn specifies for the Klimax LP12, which Ed Selley reviewed for The Ear in 2026 as \"a breathtakingly capable bit of kit.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eUrika II needs an Exakt-enabled Linn DS or DSM in the system: a Klimax DSM or either Selekt DSM hub.

The generator sits without a housing on a chassis machined from 7075 aluminum, so moving mass and inertia stay low and the stylus can follow the groove quickly. A Vital Fine Line nude diamond rides on an aluminum tube cantilever with a cross armature and copper coils. Linn's triple-point mounting clamps the cartridge to the headshell at three points, and even the adhesive was chosen for the stiffest bond so that nothing in the structure absorbs detail. Output is 0.5 mV into 50 to 200 Ω.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px\"\u003eIn Linn's range Krystal sits above the Adikt and Koil and below the Kendo and Ekstatik, and Linn describes its character as a highly musical presentation with increased agility.
