Silk Audio MS-23SE

About the MS-23SE:

The MS23SE is a Silk Audio only upgrade to the base MS-23B.

The MS-23B is a tube phono pre-preamplifier for moving magnet cartridges.  Combining great tube sound, attractive design and a slim footprint, this is a great addition to provide phono RIAA input function to many current systems that do not have it.

The MS-23SE upgrades on it by incorporating Solen capacitors in all critical signal locations, thus improving the sonic details, transparency and sound stage presentations.

Other highlights:

·       Tube filaments are powered by DC to eliminate hum.
