Even at the ridiculous level of 50kHz distortion is a mere 0.02% creeping up to around 0.06% at the even more unreasonable figure of 100kHz.

The M6s PRX shares the same basic circuit topology as its premium Titan or AMS50 siblings, but the CRPS gives it a technical twist of its own, enabling performance levels that eclipse its rivals. Its awesome combination of precision and power mean the M6s PRX can drive even demanding speakers with complete neutrality. Hi-Fi Choice said the M6s PRX has an \"aura of unflappable invincibility. You can push the amp hard without ever sensing that it's struggling\". These sentiments were echoed by the Hi-Fi+ review, which described the M6s PRX as having \"an effortless quality it almost makes your speakers seem bigger and better than they really are.\" The M6s PRX is also a flexible design, featuring two sets of switchable inputs. Its line output sockets also allow it to be easily used in a bi-amp or even tri-amp configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDESIGN \u0026amp; BUILD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M6s PRX shares the same high-quality fit and finish that runs across the M6s range. Its top-grade metal casing makes a style statement while providing performance-boosting solidity. Inside the custom-made chassis sits the same dual-mono design boasted by our very best power amplifiers. But what sets the M6s PRX apart is its unique Choke Regulated Power Supply (CRPS). A choke, which offers high resistance to AC and very low resistance to DC, offers a hugely effective solution to power-supply noise. Chokes were commonly used on traditional tube amplifiers, but we were the first to use them with transistor designs. We also exclusively use a dual bifilar choke system for the ultimate in noise rejection. The CRPS also provides outstanding mains noise filtration and rejection, ensuring low-noise power supply performance and immunity from main-borne interference. You won't even have to think about adding a mains conditioner to the M6s PRX. The sonic effects of our CRPS are amazingly quiet background, precise imaging and fine detail recovery. Add the power, pace and dynamics delivered by the core 230-watts per channel design and it's easy to see why the M6s PRX is described as a truly world class amplifier, capable of effortlessly driving speakers. Twin, switchable inputs and flexible output options allow the M6s PRX to be used in a wide range of systems. Its ideal pre-amplifier partner is the matching M6s PRE.

That's 700 watts RMS into 8ohms; and about 1300 watts into 4ohms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat's approaching the powerhouse performance of the 1Kw Titan itself, and indeed measurements show that in action there's only about 1.25dB between them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike its Titan forbear, the M8s-700m is engineered for extremely low distortion – typically 0.001% at 1kHz; below 0.005% at 20kHz. Even at the ridiculous level of 50kHz, distortion is a mere 0.02%, creeping up to around 0.06% at 100kHz. They may be unreasonable figures, but they prove a point: the M8s-700m has significantly less distortion than rival measurements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgain like the Titan, the M8s-700m is a low-noise power amplifier, with a minimal noise ratio of -120dB A-weighted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of the huge power reserves, low distortion and low noise contribute to the M8s-700m's extraordinary, effortless performance. It sounds almost undistinguishable from the Titan, displaying the same ability to deliver anything from massive dynamics to delicate detail with incredible speed and precision.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhatever style of music you want to listen to, the M8s-700m serves it up in a spacious soundstage rivalled only by the Titan - or a live musical performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts power and balance means the M8s-700m can drive just about any speaker you choose, backed by flexible connectivity options. Twin sets of speaker terminals make bi-wiring simple, and the M8s-700m's outputs can be 'daisy chained' to bi-amp suitable speakers. It is, of course, the perfect partner – visually and sonically – for our M8 pre-amp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReception for the new M8s-700m has been highly enthusiastic. Many press reports have highlighted its more room and wallet-friendly form, while What Hi-Fi?

It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM\/ MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money. The unit features three separate, independently selectable cartridge inputs. This allows choice between three different turntables, or multiple tone arm configurations if required. Selectable gain is provided to allow for different cartridge sensitivities and ton suit any equipment. Cartridge type and loading is selected by front selector buttons for optimum cartridge performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaking Way For Pure Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe true point of any electronic, actually any audio component, is that you don‘t know it is there.

Together with the distance between transformer and amplification section and the electromagnetic shielding, we are creating an incredibly high signal to noise ratio. If we are working with the few hundreds of microvolts from a phono cartridge, everything is playing its role; every decibel of signal to noise ratio is crucially important. For the first time, we have implemented our new proprietary power supply solution that has zero standby power consumption. Absolutely zero! It is a super green product and we are sure, there isn’t any other product in existence with an ecological standby function like this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit Passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany other phono stages are using a single equalization network in a global feedback loop. By means of an EQ network, the amplified signal from the output of the phono preamp is brought back to the input of the phono preamp. This is the before mentioned feedback loop, and the results, as you can imagine, are not in accordance with the high standards in Musical Fidelity design philosophy. The M3x ViNYL uses split passive equalization in separate amplification stages without global negative feedback loops for its RIAA curve. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve.

The A1000 was the first of a long line of Super Integrated Amplifiers from Musical Fidelity. Its children: the NuVista M3, Tri Vista 300, kW500, M6\/500i, NuVista 800 and NuVista 600 all were equally enthusiastically welcomed to the audiophile world. The M8xi is the latest and the best of the breed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Description\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M8xi is a separate preamp with two monobloc power amps sharing a common chassis. Each has its own heat sink and separate transformer. Genuinely dual mono. The preamp has its own separate power supply and is mounted close to the input sockets. Consequently, PCB tracks are very short. This elegant idea ensures that both channels' signals are ultra-low impedance the instant they get into the amplifier. This is a significant detail. Each channel has twelve big bipolar transistors - 200 amps peak to peak is easily available. The metalwork is high quality. The front panel is a custom made fine line extrusion of milspec aluminium. The custom made heat sinks have outstanding dissipation characteristics and finish. The M8xi construction has a feeling of solidity and quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the last 5 years our power amp circuitry has reached a high state of development. In our never-ending quest for improving performance and customer value we have been looking for ways to improve our designs. One of the prime directives was to keep the low feedback configuration unchanged .. continue with low feedback! The problem was how to improve efficiency and performance without affecting the sound quality. If I say so myself, I think we have come up with a brilliant solution. Our new M8xi power amp design gives higher power, lower distortion, and better sound quality. Incredible but true. The output stage efficiency has been increased thus yielding about 10% more power for similar power supply voltage. More importantly, the whole driver stage is pure Class A. We believe that this innovative approach has a substantial effect on the sound quality. The sound stage appears wider whilst the micro and macro dynamics have more impact. This effect is particularly noticeable on well-recorded piano. I am sure you all know the piano is a percussive instrument but in truth, this is rarely audible on most Hi-Fi systems. Using an M8xi a piano‘s percussive nature becomes instantly obvious and jumps out of the loudspeaker. lt is a surprising and satisfying improvement to the sound quality. Vocals have more subtly, detail and presence. Large scale music has depth, width, and incredibly dynamic presentation. All in all the M8xi is a consummate all-rounder. Mostly it sounds like a small Class A amplifier with huge power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M8xi also features a 5 input DAC. DACs are increasingly common in integrated amplifier designs to add convenience when connecting a variety of digital sources, so the decision was taken to build-in a DAC that would perform to a high standard, independently of the amplifier. For added integrity, the DAC features its own power supply. Based around the Texas Instruments PCM5242 TI low-distortion and low-noise DAC chip, which is also employed in many other premium products in the hi-fi industry as well as in previous Musical Fidelity products, the M8xi has 2 x coaxial (S\/PDIF), 2 x optical (S\/PDIF) and 1 x asynchronous USB Type-B inputs. The coaxial and the USB inputs are capable of supporting hi-res audio streams up-to 24-bit \/ 192kHz, and the optical input is capable of supporting up-to 24-bit \/ 96kHz. For maximal performance, all data streams are up-sampled and re-clocked by an internal converter to reduce jitter and remove unwanted artefacts in the sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M8xi delivers 550 + 550wpc into 8 ohms. It is extremely stable and very linear. The distortion is low too; lower than 0.005% in the audible frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The M8xi has remarkable linearity and consistency. lt is unconditionally stable and will drive any loudspeaker in existence easily with ample power reserve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Approach to Technical Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn our view an amplifier should be completely neutral. lt is ‚a straight wire with gain‘. Easy to say but hard and complex to do. We want to stress that we do not believe that the technical performance is an end in itself. lt is a method of validating the total amplifier system concept. The aim of our circuit\/PCB designs is to have low feedback and achieve complete neutrality, transparency, and great technical performance. The proof that we are on the right track is the technical performance. We think that technical performance cannot be summed up by the distortion at 1 kHz. Our view is that an amplifier has to be able to satisfy a wide range of technical requirements before it can be neutral.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinearity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost all loudspeakers have complex impedance and loading curves. An amplifier must be able to maintain its voltage virtually, regardless of loading. If an amplifier cannot maintain its voltage across the spectrum, then the ultimate frequency response and distortion will be nonlinear. This is not neutrality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe overwhelming majority of amplifier manufacturers only talk about distortion at 1 kHz. We believe that this is only a fraction of the story. From our perspective, an amplifier must have very low distortion from 20 Hz- 20 kHz and beyond. We believe that an amplifier‘s high-frequency performance proves the total performance of the circuit and PCB layout. The M8xi distortion hardly changes from 10 kHz to 50 kHz. An outstanding achievement and validation of the circuit design and PCB layout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoise Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmplifiers should be quiet. If they are not, low-level detail is irretrievably lost. Also, the dynamic range is seriously compromised. Dynamic range is not just how much power an amplifier will produce, it is also how quiet it can be. Dynamic range is the total from the quietest to the loudest. The M8xi excels in this respect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Volume Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M8xi has a precision volume control. This ensures perfect tracking right down to very low levels which is unattainable with standard potentiometers. This outstanding precision is achieved by laser-trimmed substrate resistors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M8xi is effortless, fluid, and dynamic. lt doesn‘t sound ‚loud‘. lt just sounds right.

Even with obstacles and walls in the way, we can access more bandwidth allowing us to ensure constant high bit-rates for your aptX HD transmission. Of course, this requires a mobile device that also supports these standards. Should you have an older phone without BT 5.0, the standard will still be fully backwards compatible and just fall back to previous BT versions, albeit with taking hits in range and bandwidth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAptX HD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eV90 BLU5 HD is equipped with aptX HD.

With careful engineering and expert circuit board design we could improve the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in lower background noise. Lower THD and no audible artefacts ensure you can enjoy your music with hardly any interference. This means, we can now enable you hear even the smallest details in your music with punchy dynamics and transient detail on a real high-end level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Input Extender\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe V90 BLU5 HD can be integrated into any audio system, even if there are no free inputs left.

Its predecessor, the M6s DAC was one of the first to use the critically acclaimed ESS 32-bit HyperStream II DAC architecture. With the M6sR DAC, we continued to improve the firmware and added a few other quality of life improvements. DSD was now easier to use, we had full Roon Support and in- \u0026amp; outputs were updated to keep up with the fast moving digital audio landscape. And the other big thing: the M6sR DAC was now being made in the EU!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the M6x DAC we went even further. Building on our knowledge and experience with Sabre ESS chips, we upgraded them to the newer ES9038Q2M, and now use two of them in dual differential mode for a pristine dual mono design. The inclusion of a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator results in superb SNR and THD+N performance with unbelievably detailed transient response. Other advances in the DAC section include upsampling and re-clocking. Upsampling can independently be switched on or off. The 16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors ensure there is always enough headroom for these operations, the new digital filters and the MQA processing. The single ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs each have their own output buffer. Via the XLR plugs you can enjoy a fully-differential amplifier design enabling a fully balanced output. Both output stages deliver superior audio quality, exhibit very low noise, large output voltage swing and high current drive. The excellent gain bandwidth and very fast slew rate produce exceptionally low distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuper Silent Power Transformers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M6x DAC displays our continued development of our Super Silent Power Transformers. Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum. The encapsulated toroidal transformer with low core saturation is ideal for audio applications and especially perfect for digital audio due to its extremely low electromagnetic radiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrect PCB Design \u0026amp; Layout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital to analogue converters, compared to analogue amplifiers, present their own design challenges. They work in different domains, have their own requirements and need to be treated as such. Power requirements are unique and solutions designed for amplifiers will not show similar results when paired with digital circuitry. We have always held circuit board design and layout up to the highest of standards at Musical Fidelity. We are not believers of flashy board design just for the sake of looks. The design \u0026amp; layout need to be custom-tailored to each application, measure well AND sound as envisioned. Only then have we done our job. At this point, we have given the listener a palpable sense of the recording venue that places the performers in a real-time holographic space in their own homes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe built-in headphone amplifier‘s current-feedback AB architecture delivers high bandwidth, extremely low noise, and up to 128dB of dynamic range. Three key features make current-feedback amplifiers outstanding for audio. The high slew rate prevents odd order distortion anomalies. Current-on-demand at the output enables the amplifier to respond quickly and linearly; when large amounts of output power are suddenly needed, the amplifier can respond extremely quickly without raising the noise floor of the system and degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. Gain-independent frequency response allows the full bandwidth of the amplifier to be used over a wide range of volume settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanically Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaying close attention to every aspect of the M6x DAC, we get incredible technical parameters and effortless sound quality full of grace and transparency. The mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidality tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles. The exterior doesn’t only look clean, stunning and indestructible, it also protects the internals against outer electromagnetic fields, and in the same way, the rest of your HiFi gear against electromagnetic fields generated by the M6x DAC. Not using a big display on the front panel only increases this effect, as the cut out needed for it would drastically complicate things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Fidelity for the Sake of Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTherefore, musical purists who are simply looking to feel that hypnotic sensation of communication between listener and artist: they will find it here. Besides maximising sound performance, the deliberate decision against a big display with flashing colours allows you to experience the music and only the music. Unpack the M6x DAC, carefully cable it up, just leave it at its standard settings and feel the immediate musical integration: the whole sound is sweet and clear; the treble is completely grain free and extended. The bottom end sounds endless with tactile bass dynamics. As you get reintroduced to your music library, you might, at some point, want to discover what else is possible and hear it from different stages. It is then, when the customizability and settings turn the M6x DAC into a powerful tool for experts, which elevates it into a league of its own. Explore the sound stage with upsampling or without, and see if you are drawn in deeper. Choose between 7 different digital filters and a complete oversampling bypass, disabling those filters. Full MQA decoding is performed on the M6x DAC hardware. The USB Class 2.0 input takes PCM sample rates up to 768 kHz and 32 bit. DSD support goes up to DSD256 via DoP and native DSD512. The S\/PDIF inputs accept stereo PCM sample rates up to 192 kHz \/ 24 bit and include full MQA support!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDAC Circuit: 32 bit Hyperstream II\u003cbr\u003eDAC Chip: 2x ES9038Q2M (dual differential)\u003cbr\u003eTotal correlated jitter: \u0026lt;12 pico seconds peak to peak\u003cbr\u003eLinearity: \u0026lt;0.4dB down to -130dB\u003cbr\u003eFrequency response: -0,1dB at 10Hz, 0dB at 1kHz, -0,4dB at 20kHz\u003cbr\u003eChannel separation: \u0026gt;130dB at 10kHz @ 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003eSignal to noise: \u0026gt;120dB “A”- wtd 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: \u0026lt; 0,0005% at 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Inputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1x Coax, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003cbr\u003e2x Optical, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003cbr\u003e1x AES\/EBU, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003cbr\u003e1x USB Audio Class 2.0, ‘USB B’; up to 32 bit 768kHz (stereo PCM + MQA), DSD 256 (stereo DoP), DSD512 (stereo native)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 pair line level RCA fix\/var @ 2V RMS at 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003e1 pair line level XLR fix\/var @ 4V RMS at 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003eOutput impedance: \u0026lt; 10 ohms\u003cbr\u003e1 Headphone out 6.3mm jack variable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Amp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower: 1.5W \/ channel into 32 Ω\u003cbr\u003eOutput impedance: Min. recommended 16Ω headphones\u003cbr\u003eTHD: \u0026lt; 0,005% at 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003cbr\u003eSignal\/noise ratio: \u0026gt;115dB “A” wtd\u003cbr\u003eFrequency response: +0.1, -0.4dB 20Hz to 20kHz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 440 x 100 x 390mm\u003cbr\u003eMain voltages: 230V\/115V Internally set or 100V optional\u003cbr\u003eMax.

By keeping streaming and amplification separate we can achieve our true high-end sound vision to greater effect and at a more affordable cost, while also guaranteeing the longest lifetime of our amplifiers and streamers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh resolution network bridge\u003cbr\u003eNetwork-enables and compatible with any modern DAC with USB input\u003cbr\u003eCompletely optimised for bit-perfect audio:\u003cbr\u003e   - Audiophile playback software\u003cbr\u003e   - Low Noise regulation and detox section\u003cbr\u003e   - USB \u0026amp; Wifi low phase noise clock section\u003cbr\u003e   - Clock synchronised, phase interleaved, capacitor multiplier pre regulators\u003cbr\u003eCD ripping (requires external USB CD drive)\u003cbr\u003eControllable via smart devices and PC\/Laptop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreaming Services\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh resolution network bridge\u003cbr\u003eSpotify, Tidal, Qobuz, HIGH RES AUDIO, TuneIn\u003cbr\u003eFully Roon Ready and certified\u003cbr\u003eShareport(Airplay), UPNP\/DLNA, Bluetooth\u003cbr\u003eUSB 2.0 USB drives, NAS drives\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2 x USB A\u003cbr\u003e1 x Micro USB B (PC-Detox)\u003cbr\u003eNetwork (Ethernet, Wifi 802.11 b\/g\/n\/d\/e\/h\/i)\u003cbr\u003eBluetooth (Bluetooth Classic + EDR v2.1, v3.0, v4.0 and Low Energy)\u003cbr\u003eAudio formats: PCM 32bit\/352.8kHz, DSD256\u003cbr\u003eInternal storage: 16GB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAudio optimized USB A\u003cbr\u003eHDMI (video)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSupplied Accessories: Wifi antenna, power adapter, quick start manual\u003cbr\u003eOutboard power supply: 18V\/1A DC (included)\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 220 x 56 x 215 mm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1.91 kg net\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":42739346702503,"sku":"","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":42739346735271,"sku":"","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0349\/4615\/4632\/products\/1_bf0c0ec1-0c26-4bbf-adde-f054f782fc37.jpg?v=1662862514"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-m6x-250-7","title":"Musical Fidelity M6X 250.7","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBRAND NEW - 2 YEARS MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEISA HOME THEATRE POWER AMPLIFIER 2023-2024 WINNER!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAustralian Stock.

The sound of a movie carries a significant part to deliver emotions and tell stories. Silence is as important as bombastic loudness. Sound designers use sound effects, foleys and music to enhance your experience. A soundbar can never reproduce a real cinema feeling. The M6x 250.7 will take your home cinema to the next level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Full Cinematic Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor many people, the cinema is just a place with a big screen and expensive snacks - but there is more, which is usually not visible at all: The surround-sound-system. It all started with a simple three speaker setup in the 1980s and evolved to object based systems with up to 20 speakers. With the new M6x 250.7 you can easily create a powerful 7.1 home cinema setup (your active subwoofer is powered separately). You can connect your preamplifier\/AV processor with either RCA or fully balanced XLR cables. The XLR connection furthermore enhances the sound quality and keeps the signal transmission clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Musical Fidelity M6x 250.7 will not only satisfy you with its sound quality, but also with the high quality metalwork and overall clean look.

If you have XLR outputs on your preamp, we always recommend using a balanced connection. This kind of signal transmission leads to increased dynamics, less noise and improved signal-to-noise ratios. If you need the same signal on multiple inputs for e.g., bi-amping, you can use the gold-plated RCA through output and distribute the signal to the next input. The gold-plated isolated speaker output terminals accept 4 mm Banana plugs, spades connectors or naked wire. The trigger in-\/output allows you to turn the device on\/off via other components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur new multichannel amplifier is built modular with one 250W class A\/B amplifier stage per channel. We designed our amplifier to sound highly natural by keeping all transients and micro information. The super silent audiophile power transformer distributes clean power, which results in a high dynamic range and a detailed sound stage. This is a major feature for a home cinema amplifier. The M6x 250.7 is able to preserve all the details and emotion, no matter which volume. Due to the sophisticated heat sink design, the M6x 250.7 does not need a fan to keep the amplifier cool.

First released back in 1985, it quickly made waves for being an absolute beast when it came down to driving some of the most difficult speakers of that time, even though it was actually a rather low powered integrated amplifier. But: it was all done in pure Class A with excellent and expertly laid out discrete symmetrical circuitry topology and using only highest quality components. The A1 showed people that there was more to amplifiers than just high power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on its huge success, the A1 has gone through multiple reissues and new versions over the years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow for 2023, for the first time since its initial release we have actually kept all specifications, the appearance and circuits of the 1985 rendition for those who missed out the first time. With an updated transformer, power supplies and modern low noise components we’ve revitalized the formula and are proud to reintroduce the fresh original – three decades later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A1 is built around a completely discrete and symmetrical Class A topology. It‘s able to output 25W of pure Class A power @ 8 ohms load with 25A of maximum output. While the numbers here might seem rather low, the ability for the output stage to drive difficult speakers is a small miracle in itself. The amp design being dynamic class A, and if Class A standing current is exceeded, it will automatically allow more. It therefore “slides” (NOT “switches”) smoothly into class B style operation, temporarily allowing the further current draw needed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new A1 has received an updated transformer from shared (1985 original) to more efficient “dual mono split rail” windings. The amp stages are supplied by fully independent left and right power supplies for better power handling and stereo imaging and each power amplifier now has double supply capacity resulting in reduced ripple and noise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe transformer‘s noise and heat dissipation are reduced due to better efficiency and updated components. The main supplies are filtered for better regulation and reduced switch on surge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreamplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe low noise preamplifier circuitry is the same as the original 1985 design and, as we have highlighted above, greatly benefits from the improved, fully smoothed and regulated power supplies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the discernible alterations, one that immediately catches the eye is the addition of a new „direct“ switch at the preamp stage. With this switch you can totally bypass the gain block before the volume control, resulting in roughly 10dB less gain. This feature proves particularly advantageous when working with modern or high-output digital sources, enabling fine tuning the range of your volume potentiometer and accommodating sensitive loudspeakers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, a notable upgrade has been made to the volume potentiometer itself, now replaced by a premium ALPS RK series potentiometer. This high-quality component ensures superior performance and enhanced precision. Additionally, the potentiometer is now motorized, granting you the convenience of adjusting the volume from the comfort of your couch, courtesy of the new included remote control.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A1 employs a discrete current-mode input stage for lowest noise amplification of MC and MM cartridges. A low noise current to voltage conversion stage is used for further amplification and RIAA equalization. Automatic input impedance matching for the selected MC input, along with increased gain increases the versatility of the A1‘s phono stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe return of a true Hi-Fi classic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A1 has one secret. This secret is simple: it makes music. It sounds sweet and fluid and creates a beautiful atmosphere around natural instruments. Especially in small to mid-sized rooms, carefully set up with a pair of great two-way speakers. It is not a powerhouse, but music lovers will cherish its abilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt‘s also not a product that you‘ll want to hide. A perfect example of form follows function. The oversized heatsinks define the A1‘s look, but they are essential for its operation. Truly unique, from the outside and inside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe A1 has a sweet, warm, full and exciting sound. No harshness. No grain. Just pure music. It doesn‘t get muddy, and despite its lower power, drives difficult speakers with ease. It remains clean right up to its power limit. To hear what the A1 does is to hear what Hi-Fi is supposed to do: it makes music, pure and simple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe A1 through time - Improvements to the original\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpdated transformer to more efficient “dual mono split rail” windings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh quality and updated ALPS RK series potentiometer as volume control\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIR remote control added for volume\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGain block before volume control totally by passable using “direct” switch (-10dB)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll transistors including output devices are carefully selected modern equivalents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll capacitors in signal path are polypropylene (PP) type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eResistors are modern low noise metal film types\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare and attention made to not change any component specification from original but to update them to modern equivalent with long lifespan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLayout faithfully follows original within circuit sections on circuit board\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCircuit sections better laid out, in particular the separate supplies and power amplifiers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhono stage and preamplifier improved for less noise and hum\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower: 25 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms\u003cbr\u003eVoltage: 42.5 Volts peak to peak\u003cbr\u003eCurrent: 25 Amps peak to peak\u003cbr\u003eDamping Factor: 150\u003cbr\u003eGain (volume max): 32dB (Direct Mode), 42dB (Normal Mode)\u003cbr\u003eOutput devices: 2 per channel\u003cbr\u003eSignal \/ noise ratio: 82dB\u003cbr\u003eChannel separation: 85dB\u003cbr\u003eFrequency response: + 0, –1dB, 10Hz to 40 kHz\u003cbr\u003eLine level sensitivity: 300mV rms nominal, 8V rms max\u003cbr\u003eLine level inputs impedance: 25k Ohms\u003cbr\u003eTape Out impedance: 220 Ohms\u003cbr\u003ePre Out impedance: 100 Ohms\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Preamp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhono RIAA response: +\/- 1dB\u003cbr\u003eMM sensitivity: 5mV nominal\u003cbr\u003eMM capacitance \/ impedance \/ gain: 100pF \/ 50k Ohms \/ 40dB\u003cbr\u003eMM signal \/ noise ratio: 75dB\u003cbr\u003eMC sensitivity: 450μV nominal\u003cbr\u003eMC impedance \/ gain: 1k Ohm \/ 60dB\u003cbr\u003eMC signal \/ noise ratio: 70dB\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1x phono RCA MM\/MC\u003cbr\u003e5x line RCA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 x line level RCA fix TAPE OUT\u003cbr\u003e1 x line level RCA var PRE OUT\u003cbr\u003e1 x 4mm banana\/binding posts SPEAKER OUT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 440 x 68.3 x 283.3 mm\u003cbr\u003eMain voltages: 230V\/115V Internally set or 100V optional\u003cbr\u003eMax.

The sound of a movie carries a significant part to deliver emotions and tell stories. Silence is as important as bombastic loudness. Sound designers use sound effects, foleys and music to enhance your experience. A soundbar can never reproduce a real cinema feeling. The M6x 250.11 will take your home cinema to the next level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Full Cinematic Experience\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor many people, the cinema is just a place with a big screen and expensive snacks - but there is more, which is usually not visible at all: The surround-sound-system. It all started with a simple three speaker setup in the 1980s and evolved to object based systems with up to 20 speakers. With the M6x 250.11 you can easily create a Dolby Atmos home cinema setup (your active subwoofer is powered separately). You can connect your preamplifier\/AV processor with either RCA or fully balanced XLR cables. The XLR connection furthermore enhances the sound quality and keeps the signal transmission clean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Musical Fidelity M6x 250.11 will not only satisfy you with its sound quality, but also with the high quality metalwork and overall clean look.

If you have XLR outputs on your preamp, we always recommend using a balanced connection. This kind of signal transmission leads to increased dynamics, less noise and improved signal-to-noise ratios. The gold-plated isolated speaker output terminals accept 4 mm Banana plugs, spades connectors or naked wire. The trigger in-\/output allows you to turn the device on\/off via other components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur new multichannel amplifier is built modular with one 250W class A\/B amplifier stage per channel for the main channels (C, RF, LF) and 150W per effect channel. We designed our amplifier to sound highly natural by keeping all transients and micro information. The super silent audiophile power transformer distributes clean power, which results in a high dynamic range and a detailed sound stage. This is a major feature for a home cinema amplifier. The M6x 250.11 is able to preserve all the details and emotion, no matter which volume. Due to the sophisticated heat sink design, the M6x 250.11 does not need a fan to keep the amplifier cool.

His amplifier creations are a rare expression of this sound character. In 2002 Antony asked Mr. Lichtenegger to help with a design with all these attributes. Also, the design was very important and should match the mechanically stunning amplifiers. The Musical Fidelity M1 was born and a great success. The base idea was to combine the inert mass of metal alloys with zero resonating acrylic. The motor was effectively decoupled from the tonearm and platter with the dual chassis construction. The new M8xTT is following the same design philosophies with even more expressive technical features.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Tonearm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 10-inch tonearm is a complete new ultra low resonance Musical Fidelity design with transparent acrylic bearing ring and conical aluminium tonearm tube. The tonearm is fully VTA and azimuth adjustable and comes with two counterweights to use it with cartridges from 6 to 20g. The counterweights are TPE damped to prevent resonances. On the back you can find standard phono RCA outputs, as well as balanced XLR sockets which gives you ultimate flexibility for your phono preamplifier choice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Motor \u0026amp; Platter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe motor is sitting in on a special foam in the lower level acrylic plinth to decouple it from the platter and the tonearm.

The unique zone with 2000 watts output power can be used for the biggest power amplifiers, monoblocks or multichannel home cinema amplifiers. The biggest advantage of multiple zones is avoiding of differential mode cross contamination between connected electronics.

The core is a continuous strip of grain oriented silicon steel, wound as a clock spring under tension. There is no air gap, as we know from standard EI transformer, resulting in a stacking factor of 95% of its weight. Typical efficiency figures for toroidal transformer are 90% which means that 90% of the input power is transformed into output power and just 10% are converted into waste like heat, electromagnetic radiation and mechanical vibration. Toroidal transformers therefore radiate about one tenth of the magnetic field of EI transformers. Due to the Common Mode Rejection (CMR) we were also able to eliminate noise and get an even cleaner power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurge Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusical Fidelity BPC power conditioners protect connected equipment through their innovative series mode surge suppression that also pays attention to keep the power clean.

Our design absorbs surges more than 2V above peak line voltage, so ground is not affected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverload Protection \u0026amp; Input Voltage Detection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the device detects an overload, the „No-Fuse-Breaker“ will turn to protection mode.

All BPCs are equipped with an Under Voltage (UVP) and Over Voltage (OVP) protection. The LEDs on the front panel show the current working status. Green means, that the device is in normal working mode.

We achieve extremely low electromagnetic radiation, and more than enough headroom to properly power all the sensitive, discrete output and headphone amp stages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf special note: demands are drastically increased as everything in the M8x DAC is fully balanced! We are dealing with twice as many electrical components as regular single-ended designs! The power supply for digital and analogue circuitry is carefully separated to provide immunity and isolation of the analogue amp and buffer stages from any possible digital HF interference. Each output and headphone amp stage has a DC servo ensuring optimal DC mode. Powered by two high-quality symmetrical low-noise power supplies, one for each channel - all passively filtered and regulated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Like on the M8x Vinyl, front, side and top panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The M8x DAC is basically immune against the effects of vibration from the environment. The same can be said about electromagnetic immunity. The massive aluminium case acts as a Faraday cage. It protects the incredibly sensitive internals against outer electromagnetic fields. Not using a big display on the front panel only increases this effect, as the cut out needed for it would drastically complicate things. The deliberate decision against a big display with flashing colours allows you to experience the music and only the music.

You will find that there is a dramatic improvement in performance. The sound is sweeter, clearer and more dynamic. At the same time the bottom end is deeper and the imaging is greatly improved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCome on! Who are you kidding? The Missing Link is just adding distortion, noise and altering the frequency response and therefore destroying the purity of the original.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not correct. The Missing Link’s measurements are as follows:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Distortion from 10Hz to 20kHz, less than 0.003%\u003cbr\u003e- Residual noise measured at full output, better than 96dB unweighted\u003cbr\u003e- Frequency response 20Hz to 80kHz + 0, - 0.3dB\u003cbr\u003e- Crosstalk better than 95d8.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo as you can see, in practice the X-Tube produces no appreciable distortion or noise and does not alter the frequency response.

Musical Fidelity believes that we have discovered the reason why. The modern software or digital side is often quite excellent. However, we have found that they are usually let down by the analogue output stage, which has difficulties driving the variable inductive, capacitive and resistive loads presented by a typical amplifier and cable combination. What The Missing Link does is to offer a perfectly steady load for these source devices’ analogue stage to drive. Once The Missing Link has presented a perfect load to your sources, and allowed it to work to its full potential, it then drives the load presented by the amplifier with ease. The result is a hard-to-believe improvement in sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAh yes, but if all you’re after is impedance matching why bother with tubes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInherently tubes have a very high input impedance and allow elegant simplicity in the circuit design. This means that whilst The Missing Link is offering a perfect load to your CD player its subsequent circuitry is elegant simplicity itself. The Missing Link does not add distortion, noise or alter the frequency response, but it does deliver the simply indefinable magic of tubes and will turn any analogue and digital sources into state-of-the-art sounding machines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe X-Tube configuration utilizes two E88CC (also known as 6922) triode tubes arranged in a unique, non-traditional way. Both valves process the entire signal in a single-ended manner. Single-ended designs can exhibit faster transient response, meaning they can handle rapid changes in volume within the audio signal with minimal distortion.

Musical Fidelity stands for sound quality and robust design that lasts for decades. We INVEST our money and resources in top-tier hardware and the pursuit of optimal music reproduction. This means: Robust mechanics - Discrete circuits - Huge transformers - Class A\/B amps. Fast moving streaming technology is best kept separate and therefore will not negatively impact the lifecycle of the B1xi.

Surge and overvoltage protection is also necessary to protect your system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe X-Power is a single inlet, single outlet power conditioner in the classic Musical Fidelity X-profile.
