This Replaces It.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eTurntables get careful attention everywhere except the power inlet. The motor, the platter and the tonearm are engineered to fine tolerances. Then the whole thing runs off a small switching adapter. The X-Power TT is Musical Fidelity's answer to that gap, and it revives the X-profile chassis while it is at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIt is a linear supply that puts out 15 volts DC at 2 amps. Musical Fidelity designed it around its own decks: the Roundtable S and S2, the M6xTT and the M8xTT. One IEC inlet goes to the wall. One DC lead goes to the turntable. That is the whole interface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eBuilt Like the X-Series People Remember\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe chassis is a one-piece aluminum extrusion in the rounded X shape, finished with a brushed aluminum faceplate. It stands 4.13 inches tall, 10.79 deep and 4.25 wide, and weighs a little over five pounds. It sits beside or behind the deck rather than under it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat a Linear Supply Does Differently\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA switching adapter makes its own high-frequency noise. That is how it works, not a defect. A linear supply takes the slower route instead. The X-Power TT starts with an isolating transformer wound with copper-foil shielding, which stands between your mains and your turntable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eRectification and regulation follow. Filtration capacity is 10,000 microfarads, using low-ESR capacitors chosen for low noise. The output holds 15 volts to within half a percent. Ripple is rated at 35 millivolts peak to peak or less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eTwo Circuits You Notice Only When They Are Missing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA soft-start circuit limits the inrush of current at switch-on. That surge is hard on motor electronics and on the supply itself, and this one smooths it out. Surge protection sits alongside it, guarding against voltage events arriving from the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eSpeed Control Still Belongs to the Turntable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eMusical Fidelity's decks already generate their own AC for the motor, from a DC-driven generator that sets frequency and voltage. The X-Power TT does not take that job over. It feeds that circuit, with more reserve than the stock adapter and low output impedance for heavy mass-loaded platters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25em;margin:1.4em 0 0.35em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWho Is This Power Supply Best For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;padding-left:1.4em;line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou own a Roundtable S, S2, M6xTT or M8xTT\u003c\/strong\u003e — this was built for your deck specifically. The plug fits, the voltage matches and nothing needs adapting, so the upgrade is a five-minute swap rather than a project.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYour listening room shares circuits with the rest of the house\u003c\/strong\u003e — the isolating transformer puts a barrier between the mains and the turntable.

Run the DC lead from the X-Power TT to the same socket on the deck.

Any transformer radiates a magnetic field, and a cartridge generates its signal from a magnetic field, so a little distance is free insurance.

The X-Power is an AC line conditioner that cleans wall power for several components. The X-Power TT is a DC power supply for one turntable. Many owners end up with both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhat does a linear power supply do that a switching adapter doesn't?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eA switching supply chops the incoming voltage at high frequency, which is efficient and compact but generates noise. A linear supply steps voltage down with a transformer and filters it. The result is bulkier, heavier and electrically quieter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eIs the X-Power TT hard to install?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eIt is a cable swap. Power the turntable down, pull the original adapter, plug the X-Power TT into the same DC socket and connect it to the wall. No tools, no settings and nothing to configure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eDoes it use a detachable power cord?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eYes. The rear panel carries a standard IEC C14 inlet rated at 10 amps, and the unit runs on 115 volts AC at 50 or 60 Hz. Any IEC cord fits, including whatever you already have on hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.05em;margin:0.9em 0 0.25em 0;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWhere should I put it on my rack?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 0.9em 0;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eAnywhere the DC lead reaches, with a small caveat. Keep it off the same shelf as the platter and tonearm if you can, and leave a little air around it.
