Owner's Information
The M9 Phono is a Level 5 phono pre-amplifier,
developed for the best possible sonic performance rather
than technical specifications. To this end, the M9 Phono
incorporates thermionic valve technology to produce the
most accurate sound possible and has been brought to
maturity through a development process we call
comparison by contrast, which is currently unique to
Audio Note. The article from which this technique is
based, named 'Audio Hell', is available from Audio
Note by request.
Please read this manual carefully in order to obtain the
best possible performance from your pre-amplifier.
Audio Note wishes you many happy years of listening
pleasure.
