{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-m6s-pre-pre-amplifier-silver","title":"Musical Fidelity M6s PRE Preamplifier - Silver","description":"\u003cp\u003eA very clean and tidy example of one of British specialists Musical Fidelity’s current model preamplifiers. In the silver finish it is a real looker and can handle just about any source you care to connect to it. It comes in original packaging with remote control, manual, mains cables and of course our three month warranty. Note this unit comes from a smoking household and is priced to reflect this.\u003cbr\u003e\nMusical Fidelity Say….\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M6s PRE is effectively a preamp without limits. Its wide range of inputs, coupled with superlative performance, mean it can form the heart of almost any system, regardless of price.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt’s a pure Class A design capable of driving any power amplifier, over any length of cable. It itself is easy to feed, making it even more flexible.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M6s PRE has an array of inputs suited to both traditional and modern music sources. It has an MM\/MC phono stage, two balanced inputs, three line-level connections, a fully configured tape in\/out loop and a digital USB socket.\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are home theatre bypass options on both balanced and line-level inputs.\u003cbr\u003e\nPerformance is stunning. The M6s PRE sounds sweet, clear, and fast, with tight, extended bass. No wonder that in his Hi-Fi+ review of the M6s range, Alan Sircom praised the M6s PRE for being “both excellent and excellent value for money.”\u003cbr\u003e\nLike all its M6s siblings, the M6s PRE is beautifully built. The front panel is a custom extrusion, featuring knobs and buttons machined from military-spec aluminium. Even the badge is made from medical-grade stainless steel.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M6s PRE is designed to offer exceptional input flexibility and quality. For example, its phono stage is an MM\/MC implementation with low noise, very accurate RIAA, low distortion and wide overload margin. Hi-Fi Choice praised its performance as \"clean, natural and quiet\".\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pre-amp can fit seamlessly into both music and movie systems, thanks to the home theatre bypass option on one each of its balanced and line-level inputs.\u003cbr\u003e\nIts digital USB input brings computer-based music into play, too.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe M6s PRE is a fully balanced design, from its input to output sockets – unlike some rival 'balanced' models that feature a single-ended preamp between their balanced connections.\u003cbr\u003e\nIts technical performance is stunning. It has very low distortion, wide bandwidth, low noise and low output impedance, plus a large input overload margin. This effectively means the M6s PRE can't be overloaded, and it can drive any power amp with optimal neutrality.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt uses state-of-the-art, pure Class A circuitry, which enables a fast, sweet and clear delivery, with taut, extended bass performance. Quite simply, the M6s PRE gives your music the space to be heard at its best.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003e\nPre-Amplifier:\u003cbr\u003e\nVoltage: 9.5 Vrms (RCA), 19 Vrms (XLR)\u003cbr\u003e\nOutput Impedance: 47 Ohm\u003cbr\u003e\nTotal Harmonic Distortion \u0026amp; Noise: 0.005% (RCA), 0.0004% (XLR)\u003cbr\u003e\nSignal to Noise Ratio: \u0026gt; 96 dB ‘A’-weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nInput Sensitivity for Full Output: 2.2 V (RCA), 4.4 V (XLR)\u003cbr\u003e\nInput Impedance: 75 kOhm (RCA), 150 kOhm (XLR)\u003cbr\u003e\nOverload margin: 12 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nChannel Separation: \u0026gt; 96 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nFrequency Response: + 0, - 1dB, 10 Hz to 80 kHz\u003cbr\u003e\nInputs:\u003cbr\u003e\n1x MM\/MC RCA \/ Phono\u003cbr\u003e\n2x XLR Balanced Line Level\u003cbr\u003e\n4x RCA Line Level\u003cbr\u003e\nUSB type ‘B’ connector\u003cbr\u003e\nPhono Input:\u003cbr\u003e\nInput sensitivity: 3.5 mV (MM) 440 µV (MC)\u003cbr\u003e\nSignal \/ noise ratio: 81 dB ‘A’-weighted\u003cbr\u003e\nInput impedance: 47 kOhm MM\u003cbr\u003e\nOverload margin: 29 dB\u003cbr\u003e\nOutputs\u003cbr\u003e\n1x RCA Line Level fix\u003cbr\u003e\n1x RCA Line Level variable\u003cbr\u003e\n1x XLR Balanced Line Level variable\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 440 (W) x 400 (D) x 126 (H) mm\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 11.4 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193859440981,"sku":"MPO0500503","price":795.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_7155-scaled_836cd27b-9104-4e89-ab9c-8755a24b2702.jpg?v=1753888891","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/musical-fidelity-m6s-pre-pre-amplifier-silver","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
