Description
Edwards Audio Apprentice MM EQ (equaliser) phono stage is the latest MkII version of the hugely popular Edwards Audio MM1 and uses a similar circuit topology with passive treble and active bass equalisation as well as a second stage amplifier to buffer the equalisation network and ensure a low output impedance which is very rare for a phono stage in this price bracket.
Great Construction
It is however configured to be used with Edwards Audio's custom-made single rail DC regulated switch mode power supply. This has enabled the company to make a cost saving along with the use of a steel double U case construction, removing the need for an expensive extrusion. It is completed with a stylish 3mm black acrylic front panel.
Audiophile Grade
As far as the all-important sonic performance is concerned, with its near silent noise floor and 40dB gain the Apprentice MM will not leave you disappointed. Edwards Audio rates its performance at around 85% that of the MM1 which, at around half the price, makes it a true audiophile bargain. It is ideally suited for the customer who is either on a budget or uses a turntable such as the Apprentice TT.
