The M3 Line is capable of driving long interconnects to power amplifiers and so, if you are using mono block amplifiers, it may be worthwhile to locate them close to the speakers. Worthwhile sonic improvements may be obtained by locating the unit on a specifically designed audio component support system we tend to prefer natural materials such as wood. Avoid sitting the M3 Line close to any other equipment, such as a power amplifier, that may be generating a strong magnetic field, or in close proximity to active mobile telephones. In the interest of safe, reliable operation, situate the pre-amplifier well away from dampness or direct sunshine. Next, select a suitable location for the unit, ensuring that adequate ventilation is provided (the valves generate a fair amount of heat). We recommend that you store the packing materials in case the unit requires shipping at a later date. Please take care when unpacking the pre-amplifier. The M3 Line features an ECC line stage, a 6X5 valve rectified power supply, some tantalum resistors, Black Gate filter capacitors, and Audio Note copper foil signal capacitors, HiB c-core output transformers and a balanced output. Our amplifiers are designed for maximum linearity without ‘corrective’ measures to keep transient distortions to a minimum rather than introducing the recursive errors inherent in feedback loops. It is these non-harmonic amplitude and time base distortion that have a highly perceptible and adverse affect on the signal waveform. As a result, they were neither designed for vanishingly small harmonic or low intermodulation distortions, but instead for minimal non-harmonic and time base anomalies. The Audio Note amplifier range does not make use of any kind of feedback. The single-ended gain stage topology is simply the most linear, demanding pure Class A valve operation and removing the need for a phase splitter, which introduces unnecessary crossover distortion. In response to this, all Audio Note pre-amplifiers use a single-ended, zero feedback circuit topology. It is therefore not a difficult step to make to realise that the complexity of the circuitry itself must be kept to a minimum in order to retain the musicality of the original performance. It is well known to any audio circuit designer worth their salt that accurate reproduction of music relies entirely on the preservation of the purity of the incoming signal.
