LONGDOG AUDIO AT NWAS 2024

Londog Audio will be at Cranage for the North West Audio SHow in room 213 where they will have on show Longdo Audio Launch MCJ3 SE Valve MC Phono Amplifier that includes:

• Special edition valve MC phono amplifier
• Pure silver internal wiring
• WBT silver RCA sockets
• Furutech IEC inlet with SR purple fuse
• V-CAP CuTF + TFTF capacitors

The Longdog Audio MCJ3 Hybrid Valve Phono Stage is a purist design, dedicated to its singular task; amplifying MC cartridges with 64dB of gain. It offers no MM option, and no alternative gain settings. The five settings for resistive loading are wisely positioned across the range of the vast amount of MC cartridges, between 50 and 470 Ohms, and usefully controlled by an accessible dial on the back. Many other Phono Stages may offer more features and options, but in focusing on what matters most LDA has managed to produce something quite exceptional. See the latest reviews for more information.

Low noise jfet hybrid front end combining low noise of silicon with sonics of valves allows the use of moving coil cartridges without the need for a step up transformer.

0.1% resistors and selected 1% capacitors used in RIAA filter.

Dual shunt high voltage regulation used in the power supply (design copied from high end products)

Input loading adjustable with rear panel selector (uses high quality switch instead of the poor DIL switched normally used)

Custom UK wound toroidal transformer.

Valve lineup, Two off E88CC, One off ECC82.
