Musical Fidelity


Anyone have much experience with Musical Fidelity? I recently just kind of came across this U.K. gear manufacturer and my interest was piqued on their higher end line.  Looks like lots of value/performance for the dollar, but I’ve not come across their stuff before, nor heard any yet in person.   Anyone…good or bad experience ?   Thanks.

At one time I had a MF a3cr preamp, a300cr power amp, and Nu-Vista 3D CD player. I still have the Nu-Vista CD and it sounds great. Most MF gear, before the Tri-Vista and Kw lines, was really, really good, particularly since it was made in England. MF made a cardinal error in coming out with new lines while trashing its old ones and failing to provide proper support. This alienated customers who paid big bucks and then were made to feel like second class consumers with worthless components. I sold the amp and preamp and went to BAT, which sounds terrific. At this point, I would not purchase new MF gear (I think it’s now made in Malaysia), and would stay away from the Tri-Vista and Kw lines due to their problematic histories ... the older Nu-Vista (not the newer one) and "a3" products are excellent and I would look for those if you were set on MF.
