Detailed Overview of M3B-MC – PHONO BOARDS FOR MOVING COIL CARTRIDGES
The M3B-MC is a specialized enhancement for the Modulus 3b Preamplifier, designed by John Curl in collaboration with Audible Illusions. These “gold-plated” circuit boards incorporate proprietary technology developed by John Curl himself.
When installed in the Modulus 3b Preamplifier, the M3B-MC optimizes the preamp’s standard phono stage specifically for low-output moving coil cartridges. It significantly increases the overall phono-stage gain to approximately 60dB, providing sufficient amplification for M/C cartridges with outputs ranging from 0.1mV to 0.8mV.
Over the past few years, there have been significant advancements in M/C cartridge design. High-quality moving coils are now meticulously wound using ultra-fine wire under intense magnification. This manufacturing process reduces the coil mass to less than half of what it was previously, resulting in improved voltage output. Combined with advancements in magnet design, these improvements allow the stylus to more accurately trace the grooves of vinyl records.
With the M3B-MC installed, the exceptional tube phono stage of the Modulus 3b unlocks the resolution of low-level details present in analog recordings. For audiophiles with sophisticated audio systems, this technology introduces a new dimension to the listening experience.
