About the Super MM
The Aric Audio Super MM Phono is a true analog, point-to-point wired moving-magnet phono preamplifier built around an outboard tube-rectified and regulated power supply. It uses two 12AX7 tubes for RIAA correction and gain, a 12AU7 cathode follower output stage, and selectable cartridge loading and gain controls for flexible MM setup. The design emphasizes low noise, high resolution, and robust power filtering, with a separate signal chassis and power supply linked by a heavy-gauge pure OFC umbilical cable. The manufacturer lists a base price of $2,750 and notes an optional MC/SUT version sold as the Super MC/MM Phono for $3,575 plus shipping.
