X-TUBE

Tube Output Buffer

  • Adds tube-like tonal character, depth, and richness to every digital and line source
  • 2 × E88CC triode tubes

Impedance Matching Amplifier

  • Maximises signal transfer
  • Reduces distortion caused by incorrect impedance matching

Additional Benefits

  • Protects your amplifier from reactive loads

Superior Mechanical Design

  • Built in a precision-engineered extruded aluminium chassis with excellent resistance to resonance
  • The X-Tube was the first product in Musical Fidelity's X-Series range

Features

  • Improves the performance of digital and analogue sources
  • Particularly beneficial for budget digital, streaming, and CD sources that use all-in-one chip designs and lack proper output stages
  • Provides optimal impedance matching between preamplifier and power amplifier when required
  • Direct mains input with external power supply support for a clean installation setup

We are proud to unveil the X-Tube – a revolutionary tube output buffer built with our newly reimagined X-profile aluminium die-cast chassis. This innovative design marks the return of the X-profile configuration, a distinctive element in the revered Musical Fidelity X10D tube output buffer and promises to breathe new life into a wide range of future audio electronics products.

From X10D to X-Tube

The X10D, as designed by Musical Fidelity founder Antony Michaelson, is an acronym – or if you want “a wordplay” – for eX10[tend]ed. The internal circuitry design faithfully follows the original and just like it, the new X-Tube extends your signal chain and is connected between input source and amplifier.

It serves as an intermediary stage and is designed to enhance audio signal quality and add tube-like tonal characteristics to your line sources. Connectivity is simple, featuring 1x RCA input and 1x RCA output as well as an RCA bypass. The old external power supply has been reworked and moved into the chassis itself, allowing for a cleaner setup than before.

Advantages of a Tube Output Buffer and its Impact on Sound

Tube preamplifiers or tube output buffers hold a special place in the hearts of many audiophiles offering a distinct sonic signature that is prized by many audio enthusiasts. The warmer, more natural sound, improved dynamics, and potentially reduced listening fatigue contribute to a unique and engaging listening experience.

The X-Tube in Today's Audio World

What is the place of the X-Tube in today’s audio world? We currently observe a surge in a new generation of affordable streaming devices and DACs. Even CD-players receive increased interest as people are holding on to their old collections.

These modern digital audio devices achieve great price points, but do this at the sacrifice of hardware. Software makes up most of the cost and there is no budget assigned to, amongst other things, proper output stages. Instead, cheaper integrated IC solutions are used that don’t have the power to properly drive line inputs in many amplifiers.

The X-Tube has a clean, high impedance tube input, meaning it won’t put as much strain on the output device capabilities of connected source devices. Regular line inputs on most amplifiers are usually more demanding and cheaper output stages will struggle.

On the output side, the X-Tube’s clean, low impedance tube output buffer has plenty of drive and will not struggle with any low or high impedance amplifier input.

The X-Tube is designed to be the reliable core of your system, enhancing modern streamers and keeping pace as digital technology rapidly evolves.

While streamers excel at software and deliver great digital-to-analogue conversion with the latest DAC technology, they often fall short when it comes to analogue output potential. And when their analogue drive is lacking, the X-Tube complements them perfectly.

Color me impressed!
Color: Stainless Steel
Color me impressed! So far I really like this Typhur Sync oven. My first test was a frozen pizza. Unfortunately, it was overcooked. I really can't remember at this moment the exact temperature/time settings I used. (Probably used the box directions.) However, next time I'm going to just select the pizza setting on the oven and trust it. This is a convection oven, so I shouldn't have used the box directions. My next test was a big one. I cooked a 5.6 pound rib roast for Christmas. I selected “beef”, then “medium well”, then hit start. After the preheat was completed, I put the roast in the oven. Of course, before putting it in the oven I inserted the wireless temperature probe. I had taken the roast out of the fridge to let it get to room temperature an hour or so earlier. The probe said its internal temperature was 56 degrees, and the target temperature would be 140 degrees. I looked at other ovens as well, but selected this Typhur for its wireless probe and phone app that would track the oven progress and alert me when it was completed. The oven is downstairs, and this app would save me much stair work. It worked great! Love the little app. I checked the app from time to time for cooking progress, and it would tell me its current internal temperature and the target temperature. Also told me the time to completion. Amazing. It “dinged” my phone when the oven was done. I went downstairs and removed the roast. It looked fantastic. Of course while sitting on the counter top, the roast continued to cook internally while we were getting everything else set up on the dining table, thereby making it more like “well done” when we were finally ready to eat. After slicing it, the meat looked great. Not as pink as I wanted, but that was due to the “internal cooking” it did. I think next time, I'm selecting “medium”. Then it might be more like “medium well” when we're ready to eat. Also, did I mention that the cook time was just a little over 90 minutes? Couldn't believe how fast it cooked. My next test was cooking a pork tenderloin “medium well”. It took 33 minutes, and turned out great. Again, I'm very happy with this purchase. Back story... Years ago we remodeled our kitchen in a previous house, and not wanting to discard a perfectly good wall oven, I built a box for it and kept the oven in our garage to act as our second oven. Well, after 26 years it finally started failing. (Couldn't blame it for all the hot summer and cold winter cycles it went through.) Repair cost would be unreasonably high, even if the parts were available. Looking to replace it would cost anywhere between $450 (for a “no name” oven) and $1000 or more (for a “known brand” oven). I then saw these counter top ovens. After some study, I gambled and selected this Typhur Sync for $230 (also a “no name” brand to me at the time). Glad I did.

Good little oven
Color: Stainless Steel
Delivery was prompt. Wasn’t sure what to expect on the oven but the controls were fairly intuitive and have used several of the settings. Performs well on everything that we’ve used it for. The instructions are basic but adequate to get you cooking. The size was a little larger than anticipated, it is deeper and takes up more counterspace but you can cook a chicken in it! Looks great sitting on the counter. Not too industrial and the buttons and knobs make changing settings easy.

We love it!
Color: Stainless Steel, Color: Stainless Steel
Simply said, it’s great! My wife absolutely loves this little oven. It has a bunch of options to choose from for cooking. You can use it as an air fryer, oven, you can cook perfect crispy wings, as well as a nice piece of steak with the included thermometer. Since it’s very little compared to the regular house stove, its much easier and quicker to clean it. It’s a must have for any home!

Best Toaster Oven Ever!
Color: Stainless Steel
I've had the oven about a week now and have used it numerous times. The air fried wings came out perfect. The oven baked chicken was perfectly cooked thanks to the probe and crisped up nicely. Toast is fast and just the right color each time. I give the oven high marks for the value and features. The oven's performance exceeds my expectations. The only reason I did not give this gem 5 stars is due to the oven door handle. When open, the door handle hits the counter top preventing it from opening fully. When the oven is hot, pulling something out is an issue due to the door not opening fully. Otherwise, I highly recommend this oven.

Great Product and Great Customer Service
Color: Stainless Steel
This little countertop oven checks all of the boxes for me. First, even at its highest tempeture for baking bread at 450 the outside of the unit is warm to the touch but will not burn your hand. It has all of the settings one would want for an oven to do icluding, reheat, PROOF (for bread) broil, stay warm etc. I love it and the best of all of this was my experience with their customer service. I started having an electrical glich with the unit soon after I bought it and reported the problem to the company. Well, then it stopped having that problem but intermittently did. The light would come on by itself and sometimes I could not get the oven to turn on. So, this ensued off and on for several months until I decided to once again contact customer service to report my problem. They took my information and then informed me that they would be happy to replace the unit. All I needed to do was send my unit back after receiving the replacement. Which they did and I did and VOILA, problem solved just like that. No rigamarole, no hassle just excellent customer service.
