Musical Fidelity X-POWER Power Supply
Best power conditioner for audiophiles seeking clean, protected sound.
The Musical Fidelity X-POWER Power Supply offers robust protection for your audio equipment. It features a three-layer defense system, including two-stage surge and overvoltage protection at both input and output, effectively diverting harmful voltage spikes. Its custom EMI/RFI filter significantly reduces electrical noise, with attenuation exceeding 60 dB at 100 kHz and 80 dB at 1 MHz. Additionally, an integrated DC blocker removes unwanted DC voltage up to 2V, preventing transformer hum and improving efficiency. This compact, aluminum-chassis unit is ideal for protecting amplifiers and source components.

Know before you buy
The unit employs a two-stage surge and overvoltage protection system at both the input and output stages. This dual-layer approach ensures that harmful voltage spikes are diverted before they can reach your sensitive audio components.
Yes, the integrated DC blocker is specifically designed to remove up to 2V of DC offset from your AC line. This often resolves the mechanical transformer hum caused by DC contamination in the power grid.
The X-POWER is rated for 10A, which supports up to 1,100W at 110V or 2,300W at 230V. It is well-suited for most integrated amplifiers and source components, provided their total power draw stays within these limits.
The custom filter is highly effective, offering attenuation of over 60 dB at 100 kHz and 80 dB at 1 MHz. This significantly reduces high-frequency electrical noise, which can otherwise introduce graininess or interference into your audio signal.
The iconic 'X-profile' extruded aluminum chassis is functional as well as stylish. It provides robust physical protection and acts as an effective shield against external electromagnetic interference, keeping the internal circuitry isolated.
The unit is available in specific versions tailored for different regions, including US, Schuko, UK, and AU outlets. Please ensure you select the version that matches your local power standard when ordering.
