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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe A1 employs a discrete current-mode input stage for lowest noise amplification of MC and MM cartridges.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special audio transformer with low core saturation decreases the level of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential because otherwise any phono amplifier will never be able to work correctly. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSplit Semi-Passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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 semi-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 XLR connection furthermore enhances the sound quality and keeps the signal transmission clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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. The front panel, in either black or silver finish, is a custom-made fine line aluminium extrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M6x 250.7 offers a gold-plated RCA and a balanced XLR input per channel. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur new multichannel amplifier is built modular with one 250W class A\/B amplifier stage per channel.

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.

We set out to make a phono stage without any practical limits. It’s designed in such a way to ensure you cannot overload the input stage or encounter any practical limitations in the output driving capacity during regular use, whether running single-ended or balanced. It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM\/ MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings. It offers state-of-the art technical and sonic performance at a very competitive price and is the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile updating from the M6 ViNYL to the M6x ViNYL, we have switched to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one balanced input and output as well as two single-ended inputs and one single-ended output to fit well into any vinyl hi-fi system. But the important question is: what is so special about discrete circuits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaking Way For Pure Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true point of any electronic, actually any audio component, is that you don‘t know it is there.

Thanks to these converters, the it supports up to 768 kHz files in PCM and DSD256 via DoP and native DSD512 via USB, covering any digital file you can buy or stream. The SPDIF inputs are greatly improved as well, now supporting MQA (up to 384kHz) and DSD (DoP 64) as well!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Architecture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe utilize an extremely low-noise, low-dropout regulator designed specifically for high-performance audio systems and optimized for high-resolution audio thanks to its revolutionary dual-regulator architecture. The inclusion of a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator results in superb SNR and THD+N performance with unbelievably detailed transient response. Digital audio is the art of time, with our proprietary clock design we have managed jitter rates of unrivalled and below 100 femtoseconds. This outperforms many renowned and respected audiophile clock generators! Other advances in the DAC section include optional upsampling and reclocking and an oversampling bypass mode. The 16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors ensure there is always enough headroom for these operations, the digital filters and the MQA processing. Compared to the M6x DAC, MQA processing is now possible on the USB and SPDIF inputs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUpsampling, Reclocking and Digital Filters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CPLD MAX II (Complex Programmable Logic Device) Altera is used for re-clocking, which together with the XMOS microcontroller brings high-quality processing of both PCM, DSD and MQA technology. Upsampling and reclocking can be individually turned on and off for PCM signals. DSD and MQA use their own format specific settings and filters. For PCM signals, the M8x DAC has eight selectable digital filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOversampling Bypass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor ultra-high-res audio we have gone the extra step and created our oversampling bypass mode. This mode can be accessed by selecting filter 8 and is by default selected when the M8x DAC is first turned on after unpacking. In this mode the DAC’s oversampling FIR filters are disabled and source data is upsampled to 352,8kHz or 384kHz respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGoing even one step further, ultra-high sample rates of 705,6k and 768kHz enter the DAC block directly. Effectively, this turns off all remaining filtering, improving audio parameters and the frequency spectrum by yet another step. The oversampling filter is the largest single digital section “block” on the ESS DAC chip by silicon area. By powering this filter block down, we reduce the on-chip PSU \/ ground noise and consequently lower signal correlated clock modulation on the ESS DAC’s silicon die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete and Fully Balanced Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8x DAC bolsters a massively improved discrete output stage. Immediately noticeable by the enormous space requirements on the PCB – owing not only to the fact that it is fully discrete but also fully balanced - it is a major evolution compared to the M6x DAC’s counterpart that was built using integrated circuits (=chips). This design also makes the M8x DAC truly fully balanced from beginning to end. Not only is this benefitting sound characteristics, but also longevity and sustainability. The M8x DAC remains easy to maintain and repair as chips go eventually out of production and might not be replaceable many years later. But discrete components will always be built and can always be serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components like transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit (IC = chip), which can, for example, be used as an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) in the signal chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn our industry we employ specialised IC 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 ICs do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. They are also difficult - if not impossible - to repair. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere standard headphone amplifiers or output stages 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-power balanced \u0026amp; discrete: The new M8x DAC headphone amp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8x DAC features a headphone amplifier that outclasses many other stand-alone designs with ease. Unlike almost all modern solutions that use chip-based designs, the M8x DAC incorporates a fully discrete design with DC coupled power operational amplifiers using transistors. Equipped with a 6.3mm jack output for unbalanced headphones, the M8x DAC also features a 4-pin XLR output for use with balanced headphones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBalanced headphones get the full luxurious treatment. We are not just using a single ended amplifier with a fancy balanced XLR connector on the front. By using a fully differential balanced amplifier design, performance metrics are raised, achieving a mighty 3900 mW of power into 8 ohms, compared to 2000 mW with unbalanced headphones. Short time peaks way in excess of 10 Watts (for one cycle) are handled with ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd it gets even better. The amp has been carefully tuned to work completely in Class A up to full power for 30 ohms headphones or more. The terminal transistors used also allow the use of low load headphones down to 8 ohms, ensuring their high-current demand is comfortably met at all times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you’re driving demanding low-impedance headphones or high-impedance studio-grade monitor headphones, the M8x DAC ensures a powerful, distortion-free experience. Its ability to handle load impedances as low as 8 ohms, while maintaining incredible clarity makes it a versatile choice for any audiophile. Balanced or unbalanced, the M8x DAC offers a jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring listening experience. The M8x DAC does not have “just a headphone amplifier” built in – truly, it’s your gateway to Musical Fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8x DAC employs fully balanced circuitry throughout. Dual mono DACs - two ES9038Q2M chips are used in dual differential mode - are feeding the fully differential balanaced output and headphone amplifier stages. A fully balanced design principle consists of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA “pseudo-balanced” amplifier will not process the + and – signals independently, but add them together before they are processed. Pseudo-balanced designs will not benefit from the advantages that balanced connections have to offer, like fully balanced amplifiers do. In a true, fully balanced device, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result. You need twice as much space on the circuit board, twice as many electrical components and be twice as careful with planning your circuit board layout. As a result, the M8x DAC excels at suppressing unwanted noise, errors and interferences and offers the best signal to noise ratio possible. The headphone amp shows increased output power coming from the fully balanced design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrete Power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8x DAC displays our continued development of our Super Silent Power Transformers. Additionally it uses a sizable separate discrete power filtering and DC blocking PCB to keep noise and interference painstakingly low. Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum. The encapsulated toroidal transformer with low core saturation has been purpose designed for digital audio and headphone applications alike. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.

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 aluminum. The custom made heat sinks have outstanding dissipation characteristics and finish. The M8xi construction has a feeling of solidity and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Circuitry\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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 artifacts in the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Approach to Technical Measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinearity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNoise Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Volume Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi has a precision volume control.

Completely passive and in two separate stages (split-passive) - this is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve.

Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum. The encapsulated toroidal transformer is purpose designed for delicate phono signals with low core saturation and extremely low electromagnetic radiation.Each discrete amp stage has a DC servo ensuring optimal DC mode. The preamplifier is powered by two high-quality symmetrical low-noise power supplies, one for each channel - all passively filtered and regulated. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully balanced design principle, as used in the M8x Vinyl, consists of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission. A “pseudo-balanced” amplifier will not process the + and – signals independently, but add them together before they are processed. Pseudo-balanced design will not benefit from the advantages that balanced connections have to offer, like fully balanced amplifiers do. In a true, fully balanced device, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result. You need twice as much space on the circuit board, twice as many electrical components and be twice as careful with planning your circuit board layout. As a result, the M8x Vinyl excels at suppressing unwanted noise, errors and interferences and offers the best signal to noise ratio possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Cartridge Loading Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of its single-ended RCA or balanced XLR inputs can be individually set for either MM\/MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings. Very large ranges from 40dB (voltage amplification by 100x) up to 69dB (voltage amplification by 3690x) are possible. The gain is cleanly switched using signal relays and you can see the big increase in amplification is why a phono preamp must be incredibly silent (a fully balanced design makes a big difference here) to handle amplification levels this high. Input capacitance and impedance are switched by using JFET transistors. A costly, yet technically extremely sophisticated implementation, it allows the M8x Vinyl to be matched with any cartridges and perfectly integrated it into the rest of your Hifi system. By that criteria the M8x Vinyl is perfect. It has no practical audible noise even at the highest levels of amplification. It doesn‘t really have distortion. You cannot overload its input or output and you can load your cartridge perfectly. It brings the artist’s intent, emotions and passion to your ears and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components like transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit (IC = chip), which can, for example, be used as an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised IC 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 ICs do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. They are also difficult - if not impossible - to repair. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Front, side and top panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The M8x Vinyl 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 phono stage 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. We are only spending money in areas that go directly into the audio performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully balanced and discrete design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-part gain stage with Class A circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSplit-passive RIAA, DECCA \u0026amp; COLUMBIA equalisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-step subsonic filter (Switchable: OFF – Mild – Standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMM (40dB) \u0026amp; MC (60dB) capable with +3\/6\/9dB option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate output and input stages - connect multiple inputs and ouputs simultaneously\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Silent Power Transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscrete input power filtering and DC blocking circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x RCA inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x balanced XLR input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x balanced XLR output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUncompromisingly rigid mechanical construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront\/side\/top panels from extruded aluminium profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo display enables excellent shielding against outer electromagnetic fields and timeless looks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull aluminium buttons and control wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad settings stored for each input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMM Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain at XLR outputs: 40dB, 43dB, 46dB, 49dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: ±0.2dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput sensitivity: 5mV IN for 500mV OUT (at 40dB, 1kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntut impedance: 47kohm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput capacitance: 50-400pF selectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD at 1 kHz: \u0026lt;0.005%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverload margin: 32dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise ratio: \u0026gt;102dB „A“-wt. at 40dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMC Input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain at XLR outputs: 60dB, 63dB, 66dB, 69dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: ±0.2dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput sensitivity: 500μV IN for 500mV OUT (at 60dB, 1kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntut impedance: 5 ohm to 47kohm selectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput capacitance: 400pF fixed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD at 1 kHz: \u0026lt;0.008%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverload margin: 32dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise ratio: \u0026gt;90dB „A“-wt. at 60dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEQ curves: RIAA, DECCA, COLUMBIA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubsonic filters: off, mild (IEC), standard (at 20Hz with 18dB\/octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn \u0026amp; Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInputs: 2x RCA, 2x XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA output: unbalanced, left and right 500mV nom, 5V max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x XLR output: balanced, left and right 1V nom, 10V max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains voltages: 115\/230VAC 50\/60Hz (factory pre-set); 100VAC 50\/60Hz (alternative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsumption: 20 Watts maximum, \u0026lt;0.5 W in standby (orange LED ON)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 483 x 102 x 381 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 10.6 kg net \/ 14 kg in shipping box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270634483935,"sku":"M8XVB","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48270634516703,"sku":"M8XVS","price":5499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/M8XVB_6.jpg?v=1766436077"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-mx-stream-audio-streamer","title":"Musical Fidelity MX Stream Audio Streamer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MX-Stream is developed with the same goal in mind as everything else at Musical Fidelity.

Not only is the technology inside the MX-Stream complete cutting-edge high-end, every analog circuit in integrated analog amps displays increased performance, when digital circuits and power supplies are kept separate from the analog circuitry. By squeezing in a lot of digital circuits, additional high frequency distortion across the entire system can be observed. Coming from the other direction, huge power supplies for pre and power amps with lots of magnetic radiation impact digital circuit performance negatively. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x USB A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Micro USB B (PC-Detox)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork (Ethernet, Wifi 802.11 b\/g\/n\/d\/e\/h\/i)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth (Bluetooth Classic + EDR v2.1, v3.0, v4.0 and Low Energy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio formats: PCM 32bit\/352.8kHz, DSD256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal storage: 16GB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio optimized USB A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI (video)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied Accessories: Wifi antenna, power adapter, quickstart manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutboard power supply: 18V\/1A DC (included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 220 x 56 x 215 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 1.91 kg net\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270641365215,"sku":"MXSB","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/MXSB_1.jpg?v=1768405518"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-mx-vinyl-phono-preamplifier","title":"Musical Fidelity MX Vinyl Phono Preamplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe MX-VYNL is a fully balanced, very high performance phono stage, able to operate with virtually any moving coil or moving magnet cartridge.

The old input switching IC has been changed to relays for better separation and dynamics and only highest quality polypropylene capacitors are used throughout the signal path.

Improved digital supplies contribute to better supply rail noise figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new layout comes with big performance gains and saves a lot of space.

For sample rates of 705,6k and 768kHz the DAC’s oversampling FIR filters are bypassed and the Nu-Vista DAC goes into oversampling bypass mode. At these ultra-high sample rates, the digital signal enters the DAC block directly. Effectively, this turns off all remaining filtering, improving audio parameters and the frequency spectrum by yet another step. The oversampling filter is the largest single digital section “block” on the ESS DAC chip by silicon area. By powering this filter block down, we reduce the on-chip PSU \/ ground noise and consequently lower signal correlated clock modulation on the ESS DAC’s silicon die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Fidelity for the Sake of Music\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, musical purists who are simply looking to feel that hypnotic sensation of communication between listener and artist: they will find it here.

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. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptional upgrade: Nu-Vista Uni PSU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptionally, the Nu-Vista DAC can be powered by the Nu-Vista Uni PSU (set to be released in 2024). This will achieve better noise performance, by moving the AC mains power supply from the main unit and build it into another matching box. We are taking advantage of the extra space to set up mains and output filtering a step above what is usually possible in one-box-solutions. This quietens up the supplies and results in almost no mains-borne artefacts getting into the sensitive audio circuitry. The Power supply has ON\/Standby LEDs and is controlled from the main unit front panel. If total mains isolation is required, the power supply also has rear mounted mechanical rocker switch for full power off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Nu-Vistas, their mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The Nu-Vista 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 phono stage internals against outer electromagnetic fields. Also included is the Nu-Vista remote control which is a solid “Nu-Vista” style re-imagination of usual remote controls.

The brilliant Nuvistor tube never really went anywhere in audio. Until the early 1990‘s, when Antony Michaelson and his small company named Musical Fidelity - back then located to the west of London in an artisan hamlet named Wembley - started making amplifiers with Nuvistors. They were made in limited editions and sold out almost immediately. To this day these icons of audio individualism are still highly valued. Now, after Musical Fidelity has been passed on to new ownership, our vision is to continue making history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista DAC merges digital with the analogue Nuvistors. Digital to analogue converters, compared to analogue tube devices, present their own design challenges. They work in different domains, have their own requirements and need to be treated as such. 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. We hope you derive as much pleasure listening to it, as we had creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNuvistor Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuvistor tubes were invented in the 1950s to solve the many shortcomings of conventional tubes.

Beautifully designed and executed with massive casework, we set out to make a phono stage without any practical limits. It’s designed in such a way to ensure you cannot overload the input stage or encounter any practical limitations in the output driving capacity. Its purpose is singular, to be a conduit for music. It exists to faithfully convey the artist‘s intent, their emotions, the passion directly to your ears and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to its predecessor, the Nu-Vista Vinyl, the Vinyl 2 now features discrete and fully balanced audio circuitry on the inside. The phono pre-amplification contains three gain stages powered by fully Class A discrete transistor circuitry. The EQ stage doesn’t cut any corners either. Completely passive and in two separate stages (split-passive) - this is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal EQ. In addition to the standard RIAA curve, we have implemented the two less common DECCA and COLOMBIA curves as well. The audio signals from the phono preamplifier go to a separate board for each channel, with a fully balanced discrete class A Nuvistor stage. The clean PCB layout and purpose driven design guarantee lowest possible noise and distortion with low output impedance. RCA and XLR outputs both have their own individual stages allowing you to use them simultaneously. The Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 uses the same display technology and redesigned front panel as all other recent Nu-Vista additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components like transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit (IC = chip), which can, for example, be used as an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) in the signal chain.\u003cbr\u003eIn our industry we employ specialised IC 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 ICs do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. They are also difficult - if not impossible - to repair. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs.\u003cbr\u003eWhere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully balanced design principle, as used in the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2, consists of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission.\u003cbr\u003eA “pseudo-balanced” amplifier will not process the + and – signals independently, but add them together before they are processed. Pseudo-balanced design will not benefit from the advantages that balanced connections have to offer, like fully balanced amplifiers do. In a true, fully balanced device, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result. You need twice as much space on the circuit board, twice as many electrical components and be twice as careful with planning your circuit board layout. As a result, the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 excels at suppressing unwanted noise, errors and interferences and offers the best signal to noise ratio possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Cartridge Loading Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of its single-ended RCA or balanced XLR inputs can be individually set for either MM\/MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings.\u003cbr\u003eVery large ranges from 40dB (voltage amplification by 100x) up to 69dB (voltage amplification by 3690x) are possible. The gain is cleanly switched using signal relays and you can see the big increase in amplification is why a phono preamp must be incredibly silent (a fully balanced design makes a big difference here) to handle amplification levels this high. Input capacitance and impedance are switched by using JFET transistors.\u003cbr\u003eA costly, yet technically extremely sophisticated implementation, it allows the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 to be matched with any cartridges and perfectly integrated it into the rest of your Hifi system.\u003cbr\u003eBy that criteria the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 is perfect. It has no practical audible noise even at the highest levels of amplification. It doesn‘t really have distortion. You cannot overload its input or output and you can load your cartridge perfectly. It brings the artist’s intent, emotions and passion to your ears and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 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 is purpose designed for delicate phono signals with low core saturation and extremely low electromagnetic radiation. Each discrete amp stage has a DC servo ensuring optimal DC mode. The preamplifier is powered by two high-quality symmetrical low-noise power supplies, one for each channel. All the fully balanced Nuvistor PSUs are passively filtered and regulated. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOptional upgrade: Nu-Vista Uni PSU\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptionally, the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 can be powered by the Nu-Vista Uni PSU (set to be released in 2024). This will achieve better noise performance, by moving the AC mains power supply from the main unit and build it into another matching box. We are taking advantage of the extra space to set up mains and output filtering a step above what is usually possible in one-box-solutions. This quietens up the supplies and results in almost no mains-borne artefacts getting into the sensitive audio circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Nu-Vistas, their mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 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 phono stage internals against outer electromagnetic fields. Also included is the Nu-Vista remote control which is a solid “Nu-Vista” style re-imagination of usual remote controls. Machined from solid, it has the same feel as front panel of unit, has powerful beam, and runs off easily replaceable AAA Batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNu-Vista by Musical Fidelity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista family is a continued labour of love for Musical Fidelity. The brilliant Nuvistor tube never really went anywhere in audio. Until the early 1990‘s when Antony Michaelson and his small company named Musical Fidelity - back then located to the west of London in an artisan hamlet named Wembley - started making amplifiers with Nuvistors. They were made in limited editions and sold out almost immediately. To this day these icons of audio individualism are still highly valued. Now, after Musical Fidelity has been passed on to new ownership, our vision is to continue making history. The Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 will be no exception. We hope you derive as much pleasure listening to it, as we had creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNuvistor Tubes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuvistor tubes were invented in the 1950s to solve the many shortcomings of conventional tubes. Unlike them, Nuvistor tubes offer very high reliability, low microphony, low noise, consistency from batch to batch, small size, relatively low power consumption and great technical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne famous application was in the Ampex MR-70, a costly studio tape recorder whose entire electronics section was based on nuvistors. Another limited application of this very small tube was in studio-grade microphones from that era, the AKG\/Norelco C12a, which employed the 7586, being a good example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was also later found in the famed Neumann U 47 studio microphone. This microphone was highly regarded by artists all over the world, and was used by many top recording artists such as Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and so on. Remarkably, you can currently see a U47 microphone, with its stand, cables and power supply on eBay for $10.999 „Buy-it-now“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately just as uses for Nuvistor tubes were being explored, the transistor was invented and it was ‘game over’ for Nuvistors.

Through meticulous engineering and intelligent design refinements, Musical Fidelity’s team has succeeded in preserving the essence of the Nu-Vista experience while making it more attainable to discerning audiophiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the Vinyl S lies identical core circuitry and the signature nuvistor Class A topology that have defined the sonic excellence of its bigger sibling. The exact same technology is made more affordable by smart revisions and layout optimizations on a technical PCB level and reductions in the overall mechanical footprint by 45%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese revisions translate into a product with decreased size and cost that is still showcasing the luxurious tactile quality and distinctive aesthetic identity synonymous with Musical Fidelity’s legendary nuvistor products. The result is a refined embodiment of high-end analog performance, engineered to deliver the same rich, dynamic, and emotionally engaging sound that defines the Nu-Vista by Musical Fidelity brand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePerfectly complementing the Nu-Vista 600.2 and Nu-Vista 800.2 integrated amplifiers, the Vinyl S stands as a testament to our enduring commitment to craftsmanship, technology, and emotional high-end high fidelity - Musical Fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like the bigger Nu-Vista Vinyl 2, the Vinyl S features discrete and fully balanced audio circuitry on the inside. The phono pre-amplification contains three gain stages powered by fully Class A discrete transistor circuitry. The EQ stage doesn’t cut any corners either. Completely passive and in two separate stages (split-passive) - this is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal EQ. In addition to the standard RIAA curve, we have implemented the two less common DECCA and COLOMBIA curves as well. The audio signals from the phono preamplifier go to a separate board for each channel, with a fully balanced discrete class A Nuvistor stage. The clean PCB layout and purpose driven design guarantee lowest possible noise and distortion with low output impedance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRCA and XLR outputs both have their own individual stages allowing you to use them simultaneously. The Nu-Vista Vinyl S uses the same display technology and redesigned front panel as all other recent Nu-Vista additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components like transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit (IC = chip), which can, for example, be used as an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) in the signal chain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn our industry we employ specialised IC 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 ICs do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. They are also difficult - if not impossible - to repair. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhere 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully Balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fully balanced design principle, as used in the Nu-Vista Vinyl S, consists of a hot and a cold (also called + and -) signal. Both the + and – signal chains effectively carry the same musical information. A true balanced amplifier can now extract the final musical information out the +\/- signals and subtract, remove, all noise that could potentially be added along the transmission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA “pseudo-balanced” amplifier will not process the + and – signals independently, but add them together before they are processed. Pseudo-balanced design will not benefit from the advantages that balanced connections have to offer, like fully balanced amplifiers do. In a true, fully balanced device, the + and – sections of both the left and right channel are treated individually, which doubles the amplifier sections by 2 as a result. You need twice as much space on the circuit board, twice as many electrical components and be twice as careful with planning your circuit board layout. As a result, the Nu-Vista Vinyl S excels at suppressing unwanted noise, errors and interferences and offers the best signal to noise ratio possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme Cartridge Loading Options\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of its single-ended RCA or balanced XLR inputs can be individually set for either MM\/MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery large ranges from 40dB (voltage amplification by 100x) up to 69dB (voltage amplification by 3690x) are possible. The gain is cleanly switched using signal relays and you can see the big increase in amplification is why a phono preamp must be incredibly silent (a fully balanced design makes a big difference here) to handle amplification levels this high. Input capacitance and impedance are switched by using JFET transistors. A costly, yet technically extremely sophisticated implementation, it allows the Nu-Vista Vinyl S to be matched with any cartridges and perfectly integrated it into the rest of your Hifi system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy that criteria the Nu-Vista Vinyl S remains perfect just like its bigger sibling. Practically no audible noise even at the highest levels of amplification. It doesn‘t really have distortion. You cannot overload its input or output and you can load your cartridge perfectly. It brings the artist’s intent, emotions and passion to your ears and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista Vinyl S 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 is purpose designed for delicate phono signals with low core saturation and extremely low electromagnetic radiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach discrete amp stage has a DC servo ensuring optimal DC mode. The preamplifier is powered by two high-quality symmetrical low-noise power supplies, one for each channel. All the fully balanced Nuvistor PSUs are passively filtered and regulated. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike all Nu-Vistas, their mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. The Nu-Vista Vinyl S introduces our new slimmer “S” chassis. Together with PCB optimizations on the inside, we achieve a 45% reduction in the mechanical footprint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the nuvistor tubes are not visible from the outside and there is no LED backlighting, the Nu-Vista Vinyl S retains the luxurious style as before and brings our nuvistor based tube phono-stage to a new price-point that better matches the Nu-Vista 600.2 and Nu-Vista 800.2 integrated amplifiers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFront panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The Nu-Vista Vinyl S 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 phono stage internals against outer electromagnetic fields.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso new is the streamlined “S” remote control, still machined from solid aluminium and perfectly matching the phono-preamps new style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNu-Vista by Musical Fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista family is a continued labour of love for Musical Fidelity. The brilliant Nuvistor tube never really went anywhere in audio. Until the early 1990‘s when Antony Michaelson and his small company named Musical Fidelity - back then located to the west of London in an artisan hamlet named Wembley - started making amplifiers with Nuvistors. They were made in limited editions and sold out almost immediately. To this day these icons of audio individualism are still highly valued. Now, after Musical Fidelity has been passed on to new ownership, our vision is to continue making history. The Nu-Vista Vinyl S will be no exception. We hope you derive as much pleasure listening to it, as we had creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNuvistor Tubes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuvistor tubes were invented in the 1950s to solve the many shortcomings of conventional tubes.

This microphone was highly regarded by artists all over the world, and was used by many top recording artists such as Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and so on. Remarkably, you can currently see a U47 microphone, with its stand, cables and power supply on eBay for $10.999 „Buy-it-now“.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately just as uses for Nuvistor tubes were being explored, the transistor was invented and it was ‘game over’ for Nuvistors.

Compared to the majority of Bluetooth receivers that use the integrated DAC on the Bluetooth chip itself, the V90-BLU5 HD goes the true high-end way. It is using a separate DAC with re-clocking and up-sampling, based on the first-class Burr-Brown chip PCM1781D. Bluetooth has never sounded this good, and you will finally have the proper integration for high-end systems, where Bluetooth is used for serious listening.

Their low quality negatively influences the sound. V90 BLU5 HD is using a separate DAC, based on the first-class Burr-Brown chip PCM1781D.

CSR8670 even has a relatively high-quality onboard DAC - also with 24\/192 capability. After extensive listening tests however, we saw that we could do better and designed and built our own digital section consisting of a separate SRC and DAC in typical Musical Fidelity fashion.

It includes various improvements, but only when used with compatible peripherals. We were able to push the range of the Bluetooth connection all the way to 240 metres (compared to 30 metres in Bluetooth 2.0). 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAptX HD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV90 BLU5 HD is equipped with aptX HD.

For aptX HD to work, your mobile device needs to supports it too. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Input Extender\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90 BLU5 HD can be integrated into any audio system, even if there are no free inputs left. It will bypass the analogue RCA-in to its analogue out and digital-ins to its digital outs. Then, whenever you play a Bluetooth source, the V90 will automatically detect and play that signal instead. If a free input is available, then the V90 can be connected in the more traditional way and expand your range of inputs via its own analogue or digital inputs. We have also built in digital outputs, should you ever wish to feed your Bluetooth source to a different DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCSR8670 Bluetooth Chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth Radio Specification v5.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSBC, Qualcomm® aptX™, aptX™ HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eaptX™ HD max. 24bit\/96kHz; 576kbit\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarrier frequency 2.402 to 2.480 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransmission power +10dBm (max)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 5 up to 240M range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 2 up to 30M range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAC Section\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurr-Brown PCM 1781D 24\/192 DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBurr-Brown SRC4392 Re-Clocking and Up-Sampling Chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD(+ noise): \u0026lt;0.01% (‚A‘ wtd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: +0, –0.1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeperation: -78dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal \/ Noise ratio: -80dB (‚A‘ wtd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x line level RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA coaxial up to SPDIF 24bit\/192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x TOSLINK optical up to 24bit\/96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x line level RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA coaxial SPDIF up to 24bit\/192kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x TOSLINK optical up to 24bit\/96kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions - WxHxD (mm): 170 x 47 x 117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (unpacked \/ packed): 590g \/ 1.05 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied Accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 12v 500mA DC power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Bluetooth Antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270670266591,"sku":"V90B5HDB","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48270670299359,"sku":"V90B5HDS","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/V90B5HDS_2.jpg?v=1767640025"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-v90dac-digital-to-analague-converter","title":"Musical Fidelity V90DAC Digital to Analague Converter","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur aim with the V90-DAC was, on balance, to make the best DAC in the world without breaking the bank. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamine any high-end DAC, and the first thing you see is massive casework. As far as we are aware, this contributes nothing to its technical or sonic performance. Take the top off, and in most cases you will find a complex layout that suggests performance. However, further analysis will show that the real work of signal handling and data conversion is done by a dozen or so components. The rest is decoration, designed to suggest competence. These observations formed the basis for the V90-DAC concept. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wanted to build the best DAC in the world, but to sell it at a fair price. Using state-of-the-art design techniques and components, we set out to design a DAC to produce top-notch technical performance – housed in a modest, reasonably priced package. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90-DAC has a balance of measurements: distortion, noise, linearity, bandwidth, and phase, which in their totality are not significantly bettered by any product at any price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you hunt around, you may find the occasional DAC that claims to have slightly better performance than the V90-DAC in one area or another, but in totality will not exceed it. There are plenty of competitors shouting about their new, wonderful version of the emperor’s new clothes, but they offer little or nothing in real performance to back up their claims. Just lots of talk about subjective this or that, but all of it is just a matter of opinion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90-DAC is a matter of fact. Its technical and sonic performance is superlative. There are better DACs but they may cost twenty or thirty times more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying the V90-DAC is your personal statement of independence from overhyped claims. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional technical performance combined with value for money \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple digital inputs – coax, 2 x optical and asynchronous USB \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow output impedance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32bit DAC \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24bit 192kHz re-clocking and up-sampling on all inputs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended linearity \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding channel separation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeautiful, considered build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJitter: \u0026lt;12 picoseconds peak to peak \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD(+ noise): \u0026lt;0.004% 20Hz to 20 kHz \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: +0, –0.1dB, 20Hz to 20 kHz \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrosstalk: -104dB, 20Hz to 20 kHz \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal \/ Noise ratio: -117dB, 20Hz to 20 kHz \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA coaxial connector SPDIF 32-bit\/192 kHz (16-24 bit stereo PCM) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x TOSLINK optical connector 32-bit\/96 kHz (16-24 bit stereo PCM) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x USB type ‘B’ connector - Asynchronous data stream at up to 24-bit\/96kHz (Determined by source file\/computer settings) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x line level RCA (phono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions - WxHxD (mm): 170 x 47 x 102 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (unpacked \/ packed): 600g \/ 1.1 kg \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied Accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 12v 500mA DC power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270672986335,"sku":"V90DACB","price":499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48270673019103,"sku":"V90DACS","price":499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/V90DACB_2.jpg?v=1767640155"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/collections\/Musical_Fidelity_Logo.jpg?v=1762546471","url":"https:\/\/www.gentec-intl.com\/fr\/collections\/musical-fidelity.oembed?page=2","provider":"Gentec Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
