The LX-LPS is a very high performance MM/MC phono stage with TWO turntable inputs. Each input has an extra pair of input sockets so you can achieve exact impedance matching. The circuitry is derived from the MX-VYNL so it is unsurprising that the technical performance is outstanding.

Signal to noise ratio is excellent; in use the LX LPS is virtually inaudible. RIAA correction is incredibly accurate and, importantly, extends out to 80kHz so that there is no overshoot or ringing. Distortion is negligible from 20Hz-20kHz. The end result is a wonderful phono stage that has a sweet, clear sound with no colouration and excellent accuracy.

Technical Performance

Musical Fidelity’s RIAA correction is famous for its predictable and consistent accuracy. The LX2-LPS accuracy is ±0.25dB 20Hz-20kHZ, also it extends to 45kHz so there is no overshoot ringing.
This results in absolutely clear high frequencies with no intermodulation or other distracting anomalies.

The noise ratio on both MM (better than 82dB) and MC (better than 72dB) is outstanding and virtually inaudible at any volume setting. That is unless you are a half deaf head-banger.But then I don’t expect that MF’s refinement and subtly would be quite your thing!

The LX LPS distortion is vanishingly low, typically less than 0.007% across the audio band.
Overload margin is exemplary. Simply put, it is virtually impossible for any real world cartridge to overload it.

As we all know nothing is perfect, but the LX2-LPS gets very near.
