About
the MS-23SE:

 

The
MS23SE is a Silk Audio only upgrade to the base MS-23B.

 

The
MS-23B is a tube phono pre-preamplifier for moving magnet cartridges.  Combining great tube sound, attractive design
and a slim footprint, this is a great addition to provide phono RIAA input
function to many current systems that do not have it.

 

The
MS-23SE upgrades on it by incorporating Solen capacitors in all critical signal
locations, thus improving the sonic details, transparency and sound stage presentations.
