Yep that is also really good. Thx
Classic Audio MC Pro Phonostage Review
This is a review and measurements of the Classic Audio MC Pro by Michael Fidler. It was sent to me by the company and costs US $850 (£650/€750). As non-fancy enclosures go, this is pretty nice looking and with some unusual features such as low frequency blending to reduce noise, mono switch and...
I would (and I did) go with the Schiit Mani 2 instead of this. It's rumble filter is actually useful, the THD+N/SINAD is a bit nicer (way below the limit of the vinyl format and cartridges), it has MC/MM AND the ability to select load capacitance which is a very rare thing inside the price tag. The only tangible advantages the ifi has over it is the balanced output, which won't make a difference in most cases, and availability outside the US.

With most things ifi I find that their strongest point is the quality of the marketing material, this being not an exception:

You mean outperformed by a 7K product instead of a 225.00 product?
What's wrong with your Pro-Ject preamp?
I have a Denon DL-304 and I prefer it to the ubiquitous DL-103.
I'm a Brit and I've never heard the phrase agricultural before.and have no idea what it's supposed to mean....
me too, perhaps he meant utilitarian?
I learned the phrase by watching your Top Gear!
They use agricultural to mean unrefined/older tech. Here is an example: https://www.topgear.com/videos/top-gear-tv/richard-hammond-drives-chevy-corvette-series-4-episode-10Interesting you have never heard it used, I thought it was common. Definition would be something like "not fancy, but functional".
Yes, cheap stereo equipment habitually out-performs the most expensive AV equipment.
My guess it is just a good old differential rumble filter. Opamp based, of course. As rumble is essentially mono and anti-phase in both channels, it is possible to cross-feed bass at certain frequency and anti-phase spurious signals will be eliminated.
Me too. Me neither. I just liked the sound of the combination.
But, but the bass on stereo disks is mono too.
But the music bass will be in phase, rumble bass out of phase.
Televised older F1 races one of the commentators would say, when the car went off the track into the grass, 'the car just made an agricultural excursion', especially when it regained the track festooned.I learned the phrase by watching your Top Gear!
With this tag line: "The fast, agile but agricultural Corvette is a handful on the track, but Richard has heaps of fun in it anyway. Don’t talk to him about chassis engineering, this is adrenaline."
I recall James May use the term.
Oh. Ok. So why aren't all rumble filters made this way? And if that's the case then it's not dynamic processing, or "intelligent" in its operation, although perhaps arguably more intelligently designed.
