The new Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl is a phono preamplifier with audiophile, high-end qualities—definitely not an entry-level device!
Given its specifications, the new Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl can even be considered “affordable.” This phono preamp is fully discrete, with not a single IC chip in sight. At the same time, it offers all imaginable adjustment options, making it highly versatile and universal in application. A robust chassis and an extremely precise potentiometer add the finishing touch to this impressive package. The M8x Vinyl features a fully balanced design, with its power supply anchored by a shielded “Super Silent” toroidal transformer.
MM & MC Compatibility
The Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl supports both MM and MC cartridges, with flexible adjustments for gain and other settings. Connectivity options include both XLR and RCA outputs. When it comes to correction curves, the M8x Vinyl supports RIAA, DECCA, and COLUMBIA. Additionally, it features a three-mode subsonic filter (on – mild – standard).
In short, if you’re looking to get the most out of your (high-end) turntable, the M8x Vinyl, priced at €3999, might be worth serious consideration.
