Products overview
Every Darlington Labs preamp uses fully discrete circuits with no op amps and zero negative feedback, so the sound stays open and unstrained at high volume. The MM6B is the entry model and suits moving magnet cartridges, with gain up to 40dB. The MP7B adds a built-in step-up stage and EQ trim, so low-output moving coil cartridges work without extra gear. The MP8B tops the range with dual-mono regulation, which gives each channel its own supply.
- Start here. If you have a moving magnet cartridge and a tight budget, the MM6B gives you the house circuit below $500 without paying for unused features.
- Sweet spot. The MP7B suits a listener who may change cartridges, since it handles nearly any output and lets you tune bass and treble to the room, which the MM6B cannot do.
- All in. The MP8B is an extension of the MP7B in the same price bracket, and its dual-mono regulation suits a listener chasing the lowest noise and most headroom, with 55V peak to peak output.
