Musical Fidelity pays tribute to a legend. The M8x TT picks up where the M1 left off in 2004 – with some major updates.
In 2002 Antony Michaelson asked Heinz Lichtenegger to help with a design of an abso- lute high-end turntable which should match the massive me- chanical design of the Musical Fidelity amplifiers. The base idea was to combine metal with zero resonating acrylic.
The Musical Fidelity M1 was born and a great success. Now we are happy to intro- duce its successor – the M8xTT. The new M8xTT is following the same design philosophies with new features and up- grades. The 10-inch tonearm is a completely new design with a transparent acrylic bearing ring and conical aluminium tonearm tube. On the back you can find phono RCA outputs, as well as balanced XLR sockets.
The motor is sitting in on a special foam inthe lower level acrylic plinth to decoupleit from the platter and the tonearm. Theelectronic speed control allows you toswitch between 33 & 45 RPM.A silicon belt connects the motor andthe two floor TPE damped platter, whichis made of aluminium with additionalinserts to improve the flywheel effect.
Four heavyweight TPE damped aluminiumfeet with magnetic support connect thetwo acrylic plinths with teflon spacers inbetween.You can adjust them in height by turningthe riffled middle part of the feet to levelthe turntable.
