About the M5 Phono Silver

The Audio Note UK M5 Phono Silver Signature is a phono preamplifier designed specifically for audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality. It operates in pure Class A with zero negative feedback and a single-ended output stage, utilizing valve rectification and directly heated triode operation. The Silver Signature version enhances the standard M5 Phono by incorporating Audio Note Silver wiring, copper foil signal capacitors, tantalum film resistors, and IHiB C-core output transformers, elevating the sonic performance significantly. It features a three-valve phono stage similar to the M6 and M8 models, supported by a robust power supply derived from the M10 Galahad PSU, including voltage regulation and stabilization valves. The unit is built with high-quality materials such as Bakelite board material, point-to-point wiring, and custom Audio Note output transformers with copper windings. Dimensions are approximately 145mm height, 446mm width, and 410mm depth, weighing around 20 kg. It consumes about 81 watts of power and comes in a silver finish. The M5 Phono Silver Signature is engineered for musicality and emotional engagement rather than just technical specifications, delivering a rich, natural, and highly resolving sound experience.
