Description

The Musical Fidelity X-Tube is a modern reinterpretation of the legendary X10D, designed to bring classic tube warmth and dynamic depth to today's high-performance audio systems. Housed in a newly reimagined X-profile aluminum chassis, the X-Tube is both a nostalgic nod and a forward-looking upgrade, crafted for audiophiles who seek rich tonal character and a more immersive sound experience. Its core function is to serve as an intermediary tube output buffer, connecting your source or preamp to an amplifier while enhancing musicality and preserving signal integrity.

This elegant unit uses a pair of E88CC (6922) triode tubes to impart that sought-after tube richness and smooth harmonic texture to your audio. With its ultra-high input impedance and low output impedance, the X-Tube ensures optimal impedance matching and signal flow between devices, making it especially beneficial for digital sources like streamers, DACs, and CD players that often skimp on high-quality analogue output stages. Additionally, it protects amplifiers from reactive loads and helps eliminate harsh digital artifacts, resulting in a warmer, more natural sound with improved dynamics and reduced listening fatigue.
