The E60 was Musical Fidelity's CD player entry in its Elektra range, designed to partner with the matching Elektra E10/E101 integrated amplifiers and E50 tuner as part of a coordinated system. It carries the brand's signature piano-lacquer front panel and remains a well-regarded fixture on the used market today, with owners noting it holds up well against far newer digital sources.
Design & Engineering
At its core, the E60 uses a bitstream DAC paired with an analog filter running 8x oversampling, plus an active four-pole analog output filter. A combination the brand positioned as staying true to Musical Fidelity's reputation for careful analog-stage design even in a digital source component. Reviewers have praised its performance across genres, particularly jazz and classical material. It's well equipped for a home system built around tape or MiniDisc recording, offering both coaxial and optical digital outputs alongside the usual analog stage, and a 32-button remote gives extensive control over playback and recording/editing functions, including three selectable display brightness levels.
