About Musical Fidelity M8sPRE

Take your audio experience to new heights with the M8sPRE Pre Amplifier in Silver. This high-performance pre-amplifier is designed without limits, offering exceptional connectivity, superior fit and finish, and the ability to serve as the perfect centerpiece for virtually any audio system.

The M8sPRE is equipped with a wide array of inputs, including a low noise MM/MC phono stage, two balanced inputs (one with a home theatre bypass option), three line inputs (one also with a home theatre bypass option), and a fully configured tape in/out loop. This extensive range of inputs ensures that the M8sPRE can seamlessly integrate with a variety of audio sources, both modern and traditional.

One of the standout features of the M8sPRE is its high input overload margins, which contribute to a stress-free, high-quality sound. The outputs are designed with very low impedance and high current, enabling the M8sPRE to drive virtually any power amplifier through any length of cable, whether balanced or single-ended.

The M8sPRE is not just about power; it's also about precision. Its technical measurements reveal ultra-low distortion, virtually perfect frequency response, and ultra-low noise, testifying to its exceptional engineering.

The M8sPRE is a fully balanced pre-amplifier, a feature that sets it apart from many of its competitors. Its pure Class A circuitry is implemented in subtle and refined configurations, ensuring high input impedance and low output impedance. This makes the M8sPRE easy to drive while also being capable of driving any power amplifier.

The M8sPRE's phono stage is a low-noise MM/MC design with very accurate RIAA, low distortion, and a wide overload margin, making it an excellent partner for your turntable. Its two fully balanced inputs, three line-level inputs, and a fully configured tape loop provide plenty of flexibility for integrating additional audio sources.

The M8sPRE's technical prowess can be measured scientifically. It boasts minuscule distortion levels (less than 0.003%), extremely low noise (-117dbA), wide bandwidth (-3dB 75kHz), and an impressive frequency response that is ruler-flat within the audio band.

Finally, the M8sPRE features an exceptional power supply. Each channel has a 350VA, silent-drive mains transformer, with each stage of each channel featuring its own regulation circuitry for optimized performance and isolation. The power supply's ultra-low impedance design maximizes current delivery.

In summary, the M8sPRE Pre Amplifier in Silver is a high-performance, fully balanced, and versatile pre-amplifier that can elevate your audio experience to new levels of clarity, precision, and enjoyment.
