Musical Fidelity LX2 LPS

This Musical Fidelity LX2 LPS is a perfectly performing MM/MC phono preamplifier, offering very good sound quality at a very interesting price point. This pre-preamp is suitable for both MM and MC turntable cartridges and has adjustable load settings for an optimal match.

If you are looking for an improvement in the sound quality of your turntable or wanting to make the switch to vinyl playback, this phono preamp can significantly enhance your system when upgrading your turntable or cartridge.

If your amplifier does not have a built-in MM or MC phono stage, then this preamplifier is the perfect addition to your hi-fi setup. Even if your amplifier already has a built-in phono stage, the Musical Fidelity LX2-LPS typically delivers a significantly better sound quality than the factory-installed version.

Simply connect your turntable to either the desired MM or MC input, and switch the front panel to MM or MC accordingly. Then, connect the output of the LX2 LPS to one of the available line inputs on your amplifier and fully enjoy your vinyl collection.

Sound Quality

The sound quality of this very affordable phono preamp is excellent. We praise its dynamics, transparency, and detail in sound reproduction. The RIAA curve response has a deviation of plus or minus 0.25dB across the entire frequency range, ensuring a wonderfully linear performance, with extremely low distortion figures.

The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 45kHz, effectively eliminating ‘overshoot-ringing’. Your vinyl albums paired with this LX2 LPS will sound lively and detailed.

Loading Plugs

In case the sound quality is not exactly to your liking due to mismatches with your cartridge specifications, you can use ‘loading plugs’ by inserting them into the corresponding connections on the back of the LX2 LPS. With the Musical Fidelity LX2 LPS, your vintage turntable and precious vinyl collection will come back to life! Or you can make an affordable entry into the wonderful analog world of vinyl.
