Musical Fidelity M6X TT turntable, without cartridge
High End turntable with TA9 tonearm, double acrylic body
The Musical Fidelity M6xTT is a high-end turntable that shares the same design principles as the M8xTT, but at a more affordable price point.
M6xTT - Overview
The M6xTT establishes the design philosophies of the legendary M1 turntable in our M6 line. The M1 design was created by Musical Fidelity founder Antony Michaelson and Heinz Lichtenegger - back then Musical Fidelity Distributor and now brand owner. The design was very important and should match the mechanically stunning amplifiers. The basic idea was to combine the inert mass of metal alloys with zero resonating acrylic. The motor was effectively decoupled from the tonearm and platter with the dual chassis construction.
It was a great success and after the M8xTT, now the M6xTT is second in line to bring a more affordable version of this design philosophy to the market.
The Tonearm
The 9-inch tonearm is the same design as in the M8xTT, but with a shorter tonearm tube, a streamlined headshell design and a direct 5P DIN output. It incorporates our ultra low resonance design with transparent Acrylic bearing ring and conical Aluminum tonearm tube. The tonearm is fully VTA and azimuth adjustable and comes with two counterweights, which are TPE damped to prevent resonances.
The Motor & Platter
The motor is sitting in on a special foam in the lower level Acrylic plinth to decouple it from the platter and the tonearm. The electronic speed control allows you to switch between 33 & 45 RPM.
Like the M8xTT, the M6xTT is equipped with the same sophisticated speed control technology. The motor is powered by a Precision DC-driven AC Generator for the utmost in Precision of speed and stability. This means the frequency and voltage for the motor are completely generated from scratch by our control electronics and you are not Handicapped by the quality of your mains power when it comes to achieving perfect playback speeds.
A one-piece belt manufactured without any gluing con connects the motor and the TPE damped platter, which is made of Aluminum and weighs a hefty 6.6kg.
The Feet
Four heavyweight TPE damped Aluminum feet with magnetic support connect the two Acrylic Plinths with teflon spacers in between. You can adjust them in height by turning the riffled middle part of the feet to level the turntable.
In The Box
You will find a heavyweight full Aluminum Puck in the box to stabilize your records while playing to achieve the best possible tracking.
A leather turntable mat is also included, which is a superior base for your vinyl records. You will benefit from less noise and a special sound characteristic.
To connect your M6xTT to your preamplifier, a semi-balanced phono interconnect cable with gold-plated connectors is included as well.
A clear acrylic dust cover is available separately.
