About the M8sPRE

The Musical Fidelity M8sPRE is a premium preamplifier designed for audiophiles demanding uncompromised audio purity and versatility. It features a genuinely fully balanced Class-A design with ultra-low distortion (<0.003%), a wide frequency response from 5 Hz to 100 kHz, and an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 118 dB. The unit includes a low-noise MM/MC phono stage with accurate RIAA equalization and high overload margins, making it ideal for vinyl enthusiasts. Connectivity is extensive, offering 2 balanced XLR inputs (one with home theatre bypass), 5 RCA/phono line inputs (one with bypass), and a fully configured tape loop. Outputs include both RCA and XLR pre-outs plus a fixed RCA output and trigger connections. The M8sPRE is engineered to drive any power amplifier effortlessly over any cable length due to its low output impedance and high current capacity. Its robust build includes dual 350VA toroidal transformers (one per channel) with dedicated regulation circuitry for optimized performance and isolation. The preamplifier is noted for its transparent, stress-free sound reproduction with no coloration, making it a perfect partner for the M8s-700m monoblock amplifiers and suitable for both high-end stereo and home theatre systems.
