Distortion
The overwhelming majority of amplier manufacturers only talk about distortion at 1 kHz. We
believe that this is only a fraction of the story. From our perspective, an amplier must have very
low distortion from 20 Hz- 20 kHz and beyond. We believe that an amplier‘s high frequency
performance proves the total performance of the circuit and PCB layout. The M8xi distortion
hardly changes from 10 kHz to 50 kHz. An outstanding achievement and validation of the circuit
design and PCB layout.
Noise Ratio
Ampliers should be quiet. lf they are not, low level detail is irretrievably lost. Also, the dynamic
range is seriously compromised. Dynamic range is not just how much power an amplier will
produce, it is also how quiet it can be. Dynamic range is the total from the quietest to the lou-
dest. The M8xi excels in this respect.
Precision Volume Control
The M8xi has a precision volume control. This ensures perfect tracking right down to very low
level. This ensures perfect tracking right down to very low levels which is unattainable with stan-
dard potentiometers. This outstanding precision is achieved by laser trimmed substrate resistors.
Sound Quality
The M8xi is effortless, uid and dynamic. lt doesn‘t sound ‚loud‘. lt just sounds right. The dyna-
mics are handled with no drama or fuss. They come and they go. There is no distortion; just
pure undiluted music. lt sounds like a superb small Class A amplier but with limitless headroom.
Perfection!
