Music Reference RM-4 // Vintage / Tube MC Phono Pre-Preamplifier Head Amp (no S/N)
$799The Music Reference RM-4 is a vintage gem for serious vinyl lovers—a tube MC pre-preamplifier (head amp) designed by the brilliant Roger Modjeski to give low-output moving-coil cartridges the gain they crave without adding grit, noise, or bloat. Instead of leaning on transformers or overly complex circuitry, the RM-4 uses a beautifully simple, ultra-quiet tube design that lifts MC signals with stunning purity. The result is explosive dynamics, black backgrounds, and a sense of openness that lets your phono stage breathe and your cartridge show its true colors.
It’s one of those deceptively small components that can completely transform a system—turning great vinyl playback into something intimate, vivid, and alive. A true piece of analog magic from one of audio’s most respected designers.
