MUSICAL FIDELITY M8PRE PREAMPLIFIER The M8 has a wide array of inputs including a low noise MM/MC phono stage, two balanced inputs (one with home theatre bypass option), three line inputs (one with home theatre bypass option) and a fully configured tape in/out loop.The M8 Pre-amp has very high input overload margins. This means that it has a completely stress-free sound. The outputs are very low impedance and high current so that it can drive virtually any power amp in existence through any length cable (balanced or single-ended).Technical measurements are testament to the M8’s exceptional engineering: from ultra-low distortion to virtually perfect frequency response, and ultra-low noise.The M8’s perfect partner is a pair of M8-700m monoblock amplifiers.Listening to the M8Pre with the M8-700m monoblock is quite an experience. The music is reproduced with no stress, no coloration, and sense of relaxation and transparency.
