Musical Fidelity M6xTT – “transparent” turntable
30.10.2022 19:40 | ~2 minutes read
A little over twenty years ago, the British company Musical Fidelity released its first turntable, the M1. The design of the Musical Fidelity M1, created by the company’s founder Antony Michaelson together with Heinz Lichtenegger from the Austrian company Pro-Ject, literally caught the eye. And now the Musical Fidelity company is building on this success by introducing the Musical Fidelity M6xTT turntable, which continues the tradition of its larger brother, the M8xTT, which premiered a year ago.
The Musical Fidelity M6xTT turntable is equipped with a belt drive with electronic speed control of 33.33 and 45 rpm. The 6.6 kg, 39 mm thick aluminum platter provides a flywheel effect to stabilize the speed. A leather mat is placed on top of it, minimizing record resonances. The massive acrylic base of the turntable additionally prevents vibrations and is mounted on special vibration-isolating supports. An inverted main bearing with a ceramic ball tip ensures smooth rotation.
The dimensions of the turntable are 480 x 210 x 370 mm, and its weight is 19.1 kg. The Musical Fidelity M6xTT turntable is equipped with a 9” tonearm with an effective mass of 13 g, which is ideal for most moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges of medium and low compliance. The tonearm is the same design as the one fitted to the more expensive M8xTT model, but with a shorter aluminium tube. The Musical Fidelity M6xTT turntable will be available in Europe early 2025 with a suggested retail price of €4,999.
