The Musical Fidelity X‑LPS is a highly capable MM/MC phono preamp designed to bring out the very best from your turntable. Supporting both Moving Magnet and Moving Coil cartridges with dedicated input stages, it delivers accurate RIAA equalization, low noise, wide overload margin, and very low distortion — performance often compared to units costing much more.
It features a solid, compact chassis and carefully designed circuitry, the X‑LPS preserves detail, dynamics, and musical nuance while minimizing noise and coloration. It provides clean, transparent amplification of your phono signal before it reaches your main preamp or integrated amplifier.
A favorite among vinyl enthusiasts, the X‑LPS strikes an excellent balance of performance, versatility, and value — a great upgrade over basic built in phono stages and a dependable choice for a dedicated hi‑fi setup.
