    Audio Note M10 Line Signature

    The M10 is a stereo control center that uses the best developments and components of Audio Note. The main highlight of the M10 is the Galahad power supplies developed by Audio Note. The patent obtained for them describes "devices that provide voltage and current with a quality higher than that of a battery."

  • M8 Line

    Preamplifiers

    Audio Note M8 Line

    Linear level 5 preamp. Linear cascade on 6463 lamps, 2-watt tantalum Audio Note resistors, Black Gate capacitors and silver foil Audio Note signal capacitors. The power supply unit is based on the M10. Output transformers with silver wire windings Audio Note (99.99% purity) on double U-shaped cores.

  • M6 Line

    Preamplifiers

    Audio Note M6 Line

    The Audio Note M6 preamp is specifically designed to reproduce musical images, rather than demonstrate technical characteristics, and meets all the criteria for Level 4 Audio Note (UK).

  • M5 Line

    Preamplifiers

    Audio Note M5 Line

    The Audio Note M5 Line preamp has been designed for maximum linearity and minimal transient distortion, and avoids the need for harmful "corrective" measures such as inherently error-prone feedback loops. Instead of using separate volume and balance controls. The Audio Note M5 is equipped with a dedicated Audio Note step attenuator for each channel.

  • M3

    Preamplifiers

    Audio Note M3

    The Audio Note M3 is a third—level preamp built according to a pure Class A circuit, with a single-stroke topology without feedback and tube power for maximum musical and natural sound. The linear stage uses ECC82 and 5687WB lamps, and the power supply is implemented on a 6X5 lamp with additional ECL82 and 5651 lamps to stabilize the voltage.
