Dynavector P75 Mk4.1 Phono Preamplifier

A significant upgrade to a proven design

The Dynavector P75 Mk4.1 is a compact, high-performance phono stage designed to work beautifully with pretty much any MM or MC cartridge. Externally it looks familiar, but inside it has been significantly reworked, with a new USB-PD power architecture, revised circuit layout and improved RIAA accuracy. There is a clear step forward in clarity, refinement and overall musical expression.

Designed for lower noise and higher performance

The move to USB Power Delivery marks a world first for a high-end phono stage. Instead of relying on a fixed-voltage plug-pack, the Mk4.1 negotiates the exact power it needs from a USB-C PD adaptor, ensuring stable, ultra-clean operation. The internal power system fully isolates and regenerates the incoming supply, so there’s no advantage in using a linear PSU or speciality USB-C cable. A standard USB-PD adaptor is all that’s required.

As an MM/MC phono stage, the Mk4.1 is exceptionally quiet and transparent. Gain and loading can be precisely configured via a new, more intuitive jumper system, allowing the P75 Mk4.1 to partner effectively with almost any cartridge. A revised steep roll-off subsonic filter helps control turntable rumble and warped records, improving stability and low-frequency cleanliness.

Unlocking more from low-output MC

For low-output moving-coil cartridges, the Mk4.1 also includes Dynavector’s patented Phono Enhancer (PE) mode. Originally developed for the company’s own MC designs, it can also work well with many other low-output MC cartridges, adding openness, dynamic drive and a more cohesive musical flow. PE mode is entirely optional, sitting alongside the Mk4.1’s already excellent standard operation.

Choosing between Mk4 and Mk4.1

The previous P75 Mk4 phono stage is still available in limited quantities and offers much of the same character, but the Mk4.1’s updated power supply, quieter performance, improved accuracy and revised internal layout make it a clear evolution.

Compact, flexible and far more sophisticated internally than its size suggests, the Dynavector P75 Mk4.1 is a superb analogue upgrade for anyone who wants a genuinely musical and future-proof phono stage.

Features
