Ming-Da / Meixing 
Extreme MC-7
by Response Audio

The Ming-Da MC-7 Reference is still one of our top selling products

Response Audio has been working with the Ming-Da preamps for several years. The Extreme was brought about after numerous customers have asked for the very best this product has to offer. The Extreme upgrade more than doubles the cost of the MC-7  but we have yet to have a customer with buyer's remorse. The Reference and Extreme MC-7 can be found in high end systems across the globe.

You would never think such an affordable stock preamp could sound as good as it does after such upgrades. The Extreme MC-7 is for the most critical, dedicated audio enthusiast who wants the absolute best this no frills preamp has to offer, bar none. Match one of these dedicated two channel preamps to any power amplifier of your choice and you will have a high resolution system that will satisfy your listening enjoyment for many years.

What you can expect from the Ming-Da preamps is a full body presentation that brings forth exceptional resolution, detail and transparency. In fact, it is greatly enhanced as compared to the stock unit. Due to being a tube rectified unit, these pieces will not have the same level of dynamic "speed" as their solid state counterparts which gives you a bit more overall body and fullness.

If you already own one of the Ming-Da preamps and looking to bring out the most potential it has to offer, you owe it to yourself to consider our Extreme upgrade that will leave you with an audio value of a lifetime.

You can look under the hood of any high-end tube preamp or amplifier and realize they have nothing over our modified products, in fact, many of them do not even come close to the standards of our modified units in terms of internal components, sound quality and attention to detail and quality control. 

At this time, we are offering the Extreme upgrade to the MC-7 preamp only. We are no longer offering upgrades to other Ming-Da products other than the 2A3-X8. I have found these two preamps to be exceptional values, offering the end user a truly musically involving presentation.
