Description :
Myryad is a well established UK hifi manufacturer and is rapidly becoming famous in North America for their fine products. The Myryad MI-240 is a stereo two-channel integrated amplifier, and draws its inspiration from three highly successful and well-proven Myryad components, the MI120 integrated amplifier, the MA240 power amplifier and the MDP500 digital processor. Using design techniques that simply cannot be incorporated into less expensive products, its sheer sophistication enables the MI-240 to set new standards for power and transparency at the price, while the additional functionality provided by the digitally controlled preamplifier shows that high performance and usability can go hand in hand. It features eight line inputs, which include two tape loops and a wide bandwidth channel suitable for DVD-Audio or SACD, as well as an optional MM/MC phono stage. Myryad also adds its usual fine build quality and styling, increasingly user-friendly interfaces, digital volume control, input trim level adjustment and programmable display, along with an eight product learning remote handset.

The front panel of the Myryad MI-240 is minimalist in appearance, but with a distinctive Myryad rotary volume control with a finger indent, so it can be moved with a single finger instead of grasping it. On the left is the standby button, which keeps a trickle current flowing. Then comes the vacuum fluorescent display, which registers the input and volume in 0.5 dB increments. To the right of the volume control are source select buttons, tape REC out activator button, Line Direct (for bypassing much of the circuitry), and an ear phone jack. The rear panel has a full array of inputs, including Phono, DVD, TV, Tuner, and CD. Then the CD-R and Tape, for recording and playing from a CD-R recorder and tape cassette recorder, respectively. There is a set of bi-amp output jacks for a second stereo amplifier for bi-amping a set of speakers. Speaker terminals are solid metal and gold plated. The inside of Myryad MI-240's chassis uses a large toroidal transformer and four output devices per channel, mounted on large heat sinks. There are 40,000uF of power supply capacitance, with 57 Volts on the power supply capacitors, for a total of 65 Joules of energy storage. In series with the hot conductor of the output is an inductor, preventing the amplifier from oscillating at high frequencies if connected to a capacitive load (electrostatic speakers for example).

The Myryad MI-240 is exemplary in its sonic performance as well. It compares well to high end, expensive power amplifiers, especially since it is an integrated product. The amount of depth and delicate detail in music is nothing short of amazing, and it is all very clean and very well reproduced. It has no inclination towards any part of frequency and plays evenly from the lowest end to the highest end. The bass and treble are magnificent, the notes are not muddled and they can be heard and distinguished very clearly. The Myryad MI-240 is crafted with innovation and engineering excellence to bring outstanding musical performances to its listeners.
