M3 Line
Owner's Information
The M3 Line is a Level 3 line pre-amplifier, developed
for the best possible sonic performance rather than
technical specifications. To this end, the M3 Line
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.
