A fully discrete phonostage with balanced input and output, switchable gain, and 10-position loading adjustment.
The MoFi Electronics MasterPhono is a high-quality, discrete phono amplifier designed by renowned sound engineer Peter Madnick for unmatched flexibility and silent operation.
Featuring fully balanced input/output, a shielded internal power supply, and programmable resistance and gain, MasterPhono delivers an accessible, high-performance experience without artificial coloration, staying true to the original master tape sound.
The MasterPhono has three inputs, allowing you to use three tonearms, whether on one table or separate ones. One of those inputs is a current or transimpedance circuit, allowing the use of low impedance MC cartridges.
