Music First Audio Classic V2 Preamplifier
The Music First Audio Classic V2 is a highly regarded passive pre amplifier designed around transformer-based volume control for maximum transparency and minimal signal loss. Widely praised for its natural presentation and musicality, the Classic V2 has received numerous accolades over the years, including Stereophile Class A Recommended Component status.
Key features:
• passive transformer-based pre amplifier
• upgraded transformer core design
• improved winding structure for enhanced imaging
• 5 configurable input pairs
• RCA and XLR connection options
• 2 pairs of outputs
• 50-hour in-house burn-in process
• available in silver or black finish
Design and performance:
The Classic V2 uses transformer volume control rather than traditional active amplification, allowing the signal to pass through with extremely low noise and coloration. Compared to the Baby Classic models, the V2 features a transformer core that is 25% larger, helping deliver greater scale, improved dynamics and enhanced low-level detail.
An upgraded winding structure further improves stereo imaging and spatial presentation, contributing to a more natural and open soundstage.
Connectivity and flexibility:
• 5 pairs of inputs
• configurable RCA or XLR input combinations
• 2 pairs of outputs for system flexibility
The flexible input arrangement allows users to configure the unit to suit a wide range of systems and source components.
Build and usability:
Each Classic V2 undergoes a 50-hour in-house burn-in process before dispatch to ensure optimum performance from new. The unit is available in either silver or black finish and is built with a focus on simplicity, reliability and signal purity.
