WHAT HIFI Product

"Musical Fidelity’s MX-VYNL is as detailed, refined and articulate a phono stage as we’ve heard at this price."

Hi-Fi Choice Reccomended Product

A Masterpiece of Design and Functionality

The MX-VYNL impresses right out of the box with its solid build and elegantly machined front panel featuring positive-feeling controls. Designed for high-level performance, it allows for cartridge loading adjustments via an elegant control dial instead of the typical dipswitches. This dial seamlessly switches between moving coil and moving magnet inputs, offering five capacitance settings for moving magnet and nine impedance values for moving coil, optimizing your audio experience.

Enhanced Flexibility

The MX-VYNL offers added flexibility with a gain switch to boost sensitivity for lower output cartridges, whether moving coil or moving magnet. Additionally, you can switch between RIAA and IEC equalization curves directly from the front panel.

Inside, the fully-balanced electronic design ensures low noise levels and improved dynamics. It features a standard single-ended phono input for most decks, and it can also accept a balanced signal via a mini XLR 5-pin connector, with a convenient sliding switch to toggle between the two.

Versatile Output Options

The MX-VYNL offers both single-ended and balanced output options. After testing both, the balanced XLR output stands out for its bold and precise sound, surpassing the already impressive single-ended alternative.

Compact and efficient, the MX-VYNL occupies the same shelf space as an A5 sheet of paper and uses a wall-wart power supply. For optimal performance, keep the phono stage’s sensitive circuitry, mains lead, and cables from the record player away from conductors or components carrying high currents to avoid hum and distortions.

Exceptional Sound Clarity and Detail

The MX-VYNL is wonderfully transparent and detailed, effortlessly revealing low-level instrumental strands and sonic textures. Vocals are handled with remarkable solidity, presence, and emotion, capturing every nuance of the artist's voice. The MX-VYNL’s sound has an appealing fluidity, making most of the competition sound mechanical by comparison.

Impressive Clarity and Dynamic Response

The Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL excels in conveying gentle rhythmic momentum, offering outstanding transparency and detail resolution. Piano notes are delivered with remarkable solidity, capturing both the leading edges and trailing decay beautifully. The sound scale is impressive, and the MX-VYNL handles large dynamic shifts with control and composure, without sacrificing excitement or enthusiasm.

Rich Tonality and Articulate Performance

The MX-VYNL features a tonal richness in the bass and a subtle sweetening of the presentation, which helps to soften harsh or aggressive recordings without going to excess. Its articulate nature shines through, combining attitude with refinement in a superb balancing act.
