Edwards Audio MC5 Moving Coil & Moving Magnet Phono Stage
- SOLD - (RRP £500) - PayPal friends & family please.
Bought this new a few months ago so pretty much as new condition. Factory box supplied.
Can swap between MM and MC carts at the push of a button (dual inputs so can have both connected). Really nicely built toroidal power supply.
Superb stage for the money, only selling as I want to try a fully balanced phono stage.
From manufacturer:
Based on the original MM1-PSU1 combination, the performance was again improved by a higher-quality internal power supply and higher-selected operational amplifier.
At this price, the device is unique, with its fully RoHs compliant and gold-plated, two-layer board, backlit display, folded acrylic case and machine-made frame.
The components used .B with a thin metal film, very closely tolerated MELF resistors from Vishay, Panasonic FM series PSU capacitors and Vishay polyester/polypropylene film capacitors are used. The RIAA equalization is a rare combination of an active bass and a passive altitude range with an accuracy of 0.25 dB over the frequency band and a very low signal-to-noise voltage value of -87dB A-weighted.
The circuit topology has a fully buffered output stage with a very low output impedance to reduce cable effects and improve output voltage. The attention to detail also extends to the supplied, specially developed power supply, which, unique for this price level, has separate + and DC outputs for maximum insensitivity to noise at maximum dynamic range and highest override resistance.
Here, too, a bespoke, gold-plated board with high-quality diodes and "Snubber caps" is used to avoid undesirable vibrations and voltage spikes. This is therefore absolutely not a normal power supply "off the shelf" as is often used by competitors in this price range.
Traditional TALK styling and our performance requirements were not forgotten with the new rear-lit front panel. The rear panel has RCA connections and a grounding connection. This is probably one of the best built and aesthetic phono precursors in their class.
