Moving Magnet phono amplification, stripped to the essentials
The Lejonklou Slipsik MM is a moving-magnet phono stage created for listeners who want maximum musical engagement from MM cartridges, without complexity or distraction.
At Authentic High End, Slipsik MM is our reference entry into Lejonklou’s analogue philosophy. It delivers timing, coherence and flow in a way that immediately feels natural — especially when paired with turntables such as the Linn Sondek LP12 fitted with high-quality MM cartridges.
Design Philosophy: Less Circuitry, More Music
Slipsik MM is designed by Fredrik Lejonklou using the same discipline applied across the entire Lejonklou range:
every part must earn its place by improving the musical result.
Rather than offering adjustable loading, gain switches or selectable filters, Slipsik MM focuses on getting the fundamentals right:
correct gain structure
stable timing
extremely low noise
natural tonal balance
Anything that did not audibly improve musical coherence was removed.
Listening Experience
What defines the Lejonklou Slipsik MM is how quickly music locks in.
Rhythms feel grounded and assured. Melodies unfold naturally, without emphasis or blur. There is no sense of added warmth or spotlighted detail — instead, records sound organised, confident and emotionally direct.
Slipsik MM does not impress by sounding “big” or “hi-fi”. It convinces by making vinyl playback feel effortless and involving, encouraging longer listening sessions and complete albums.
A Natural Match for MM Cartridges
Moving Magnet cartridges are often chosen for their musical balance and ease of use — and Slipsik MM respects exactly that.
It pairs beautifully with quality MM designs, allowing them to perform at their best without forcing a character onto the sound. In LP12-based systems, Slipsik MM preserves the deck’s sense of timing and flow while keeping the presentation open and stable.
For many listeners, this combination represents one of the most satisfying and musically honest ways to enjoy vinyl.
Operation & Simplicity
True to Lejonklou’s minimalist approach, Slipsik MM offers only what is necessary:
Dedicated MM phono stage
Analogue RCA input and output
Optimised fixed loading and gain
External power supply for low noise
No switches, no menus, no user settings — once connected, it simply disappears into the system.
Why We Selected Slipsik MM at Authentic High End
Slipsik MM earned its place by doing something deceptively difficult:
it allows MM cartridges to sound complete and convincing, without pushing the listener toward upgrades or adjustments.
In our Brussels listening rooms, it consistently proves that MM playback — when handled properly — can be deeply engaging, musically credible and completely satisfying.
