Phonostages — Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl

The Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl is made in a fully balanced circuit with discrete components. It uses a printed circuit board three times larger, on which there are placed twice as many discrete components. The amplification path now has a three-stage design, offering more gain with significantly less noise. The phonopreamplifier level now varies from 40 to 69 dB, which is suitable for a variety of cartridges, providing the necessary flexibility even when mating with complex cartridges. Musical Fidelity M8x Vinyl supports DECCA and COLUMBIA equalization curves, along with the standard RIAA. A dual split-passive equalizer cascade and a two-stage subsonic filter further expand the capabilities of the new product.
