Very clear natural ,dynamic sound.Excellent build quality and reliability.Top notch controls [Volume,imput selectors etc]Excellent MM/MC phono stage.

Not remote control - deliberate as it was soley designed for its sonic abilities.1 tape loop.

I have owned my MVX since 1992 and have had it service through lintone audio.
Out of all the equipment i have used over the years thas has been a main-stay.Its' build quality is far superior to MFs' latest equipment [had that aswell] It has been totally reliable and sonically as good as anything i have heard.[Hard to quantify as it has very little influence on the music] which is as it should be.I have heard it with A MF A370, 2x P180s', F16 and Krell KSA 200.Each time it shone and showed up clearly the differences in the power amps.It produces a very dynamic,clear 3 dimensional sound with great detail,no grain and sounds very natural.This may at first seem "boring" to some but switching to alternatives showed how coloured,grainy and often 2 dimensinal they sounded.I have spent many hours at demos to choose my gear and i have never regretted this purchase.If you are not concerned about a remote control and few people bother now with tape decks [only 1 set] you could do much worse than try and find one of these.It was rated as one of the best preamps ever built -full stop!
