Audiophiles around the world have discovered the detailed excellence of the moving coil phono pickup. And yet, many superb low output moving coil cartridges, such as the Nakamichi MC-1000 Reference Pickup, are not fully appreciated because they are used with inferior "prepreamplifiers" or transformers.

The MB 150 Booster Amplifer provides a method of boosting the output of a moving coil cartridge with an absolute minimum of coloration. Nakamichi's unique circuit approaches the theoretical limits of noise free performance. Gain can be selected to provide either 22 dB or 38 dB of amplification thus allowing the MB-150 to accommodate a wide variety of moving coil cartridges. A muting circuit ensures thump free turn on.
