The Musical Fidelity M8xTT is a premium turntable inspired by the legendary M1 model, featuring a mass-loaded belt-drive design with electronic speed control for 33/45 RPM. It includes a newly developed 10-inch aluminum tonearm with VTA and azimuth adjustments, supporting cartridges from 6-20g, and a decoupled motor assembly for minimal resonance. The dual acrylic plinth isolates the tonearm from the motor, with height-adjustable magnetic TPE-damped feet. It offers both RCA and balanced XLR phono outputs, a heavyweight 10kg aluminum sandwich platter with TPE damping, inverted bearing with ceramic ball tip, leather mat, and aluminum record puck. Handmade in Europe, it delivers exceptional rotational stability and sound quality.
