To reach this level, we had to re-qualify all parts from component level and up.
The MP-P201 uses the same discrete gainstage modules developed for the MP-L201, however it has been optimized for a much lower noise level.
Gain selection on the MP-P201 mk.II is based on the output voltage from the cartridge. This is the most effective and optimal way of ensuring perfect balance between the cartridge and the phonostage.
Setting the correct load has also been made as user friendly as possible. Selecting load values has never been easier, direct selection of values between 10 Ω to 47K Ω without having to change any internal or external modules.
The external power supply is shared with the MP-L201 and gives the first extreme level of line regulation. This ensures the lowest possible noise level, even before the supply reaches the actual phonostage circuitry.
