ℹ Product Information
A dedicated linear power supply upgrade for the Musical Fidelity Roundtable S/S2, M8xTT and M6xTT turntables. Turntable-optimised isolating transformer with copper foil shielding, 10,000μF filtration capacity, soft start system, 15V/2A output and one-piece aluminium extrusion chassis — in the iconic Musical Fidelity X-profile.
Reimagining the Iconic Musical Fidelity X-Profile
The Musical Fidelity X-Power TT revives the beloved X-profile design in a product that addresses one of the most overlooked yet consequential aspects of turntable performance: the quality of the power supply. Designed specifically as an upgrade for the Musical Fidelity Roundtable S/S2, M8xTT and M6xTT turntables, the X-Power TT replaces the standard power adapter with a purpose-built linear power supply that is inherently better suited to the demands of precision analogue audio.
Why the Power Supply Matters
The power supply is a critically important part of the audio signal path and significantly contributes to the sonic quality of any audio product. While all Musical Fidelity turntables include sophisticated built-in speed control — with motors powered by a precision DC-driven AC generator that generates frequency and voltage from scratch for the utmost in speed stability — the quality of the upstream power supply still has a direct and meaningful impact on the performance of that speed control system.
The standard switch-mode power adapter that comes with a turntable is functional, but it introduces electrical noise and interference that a high-quality linear supply eliminates entirely. The X-Power TT is the solution.
The Benefits of a Linear Power Supply
Mains Interference Isolation The X-Power TT's turntable-optimised isolating transformer — wound with copper foil shielding — forms a complete electrical barrier between the mains supply and your turntable's sensitive motor electronics and cartridge. Switching noise, radio frequency interference and other mains-borne pollution are blocked before they can reach the precision speed control system or the analogue signal path.
Higher Power Reserve for Consistent Delivery The built-in transformer has a substantially higher power reserve than the standard adapter, allowing it to provide more consistent, stable power across all operating conditions. Its very low output impedance, combined with the X-Power TT's large 10,000μF filtration capacity and low ESR capacitors, ensures it can manage all power needs effortlessly — even for the heaviest mass-loaded platters.
Enhanced Speed Control Performance By providing the Musical Fidelity speed control system with a cleaner, more stable electrical foundation, the X-Power TT allows the sophisticated DC-driven AC generator to work more efficiently and accurately. The improvements are audible: improved soundstaging, a darker and quieter silent background, enhanced small-detail resolution, and better overall performance across all music types.
Soft Start System A soft start circuit eliminates the current inrush that occurs when power is first applied, protecting both the turntable's motor electronics and the power supply itself from the stress of an uncontrolled startup surge.
Surge Protection Low-noise components with built-in surge protection safeguard the turntable and supply from damaging voltage events.
Iconic Build Quality
The X-Power TT's main chassis is machined from a one-piece aluminium extrusion — the same construction philosophy that defines the X-profile range. This provides outstanding shielding against electromagnetic interference while giving the unit the structural rigidity and premium feel that Musical Fidelity's iconic X-profile has always represented. A beautifully brushed aluminium face-plate completes the aesthetic.
