Musical Fidelity M6x ViNYL Phono Stage

he M6x Vinyl phono stage builds on the success of the M6 Vinyl, incorporating entirely discrete circuitry, resulting in better technical specifications and improved audio quality. With one balanced XLR input, and output, the M6x Vinyl can integrate well into any hi-fi system.

Using fully discrete amplification in the M6x Vinyl was decided by the Musical Fidelity engineers after countless listening hours and experience, replacing commonly used op-amps with individual circuit components to produce a more dynamic, vivid sound with a more overall neutral tone. With three separate inputs from your turntable cartridge, the M6x Vinyl allows you to easily connect three different turntables or multiple tonearm configurations. Selectable gain controls and loading are positioned on the front panel, letting you match various types of cartridges for the optimum performance.

The M6x Vinyl is designed to be as quiet as possible in operation, adding virtually no noise to signal. The phono stage has been engineered without practical limits, and ensures you cannot overload the input stage, creating no audible distortion. The M6x Vinyl provides settings to load both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges perfectly, for a detailed and expressive musical experience.

My Musical Fidelity M6x Vinyl arrived a day or two earlier than expected and it happened to have been a very busy day for me indeed. I was so exhausted, I decided that I would just play one track, my favourite piece of music, Isao Tomita, “Claire de lune” on vinyl. That record is 47 years old, and I have never had anything esoteric to play it on, and my current source is a rejuvenated 1990's Rega Planar 3 with the Rega Exact cartridge. I have treated that record with care every one of the countless times I have played it, so it came as a revelation when on playing it this time, I heard it for the first time. Everything the reviewers say about the MF M6x Vinyl is correct. Bliss. I was almost too tired to install it, as inevitably other stuff needed shifting about to get such a big box in place, but I am so glad I made the effort. Truthfully, I was stunned by what I heard.

The old Rega Planar 3 had been fettled by my local dealer and they had fitted the Exact cartridge, and such was the improvement that made that it re-kindled a desire to play vinyl. The record player was supposed to be the next upgrade, and then the phono-stage, but the M6xVinyl was ex-stock, and I am still waiting for the record deck. Frankly, I am not able to comprehend how anything will improve on what I have now.

The M6x Vinyl simply gives more of everything the cartridge recovers, and presents it in a way that seems self-assured. As I was installing it, I was thinking that I had made a colossal and expensive mistake, and that it would not make much of a difference. I could not be happier to be so very wrong.
