No I haven't considered using a tube buffer. I never heard a system with one being used and no dealer has ever recommended to me such a product to improve the sound of my system.
Musical Fidelity A3cr Pre compared to Tubes
I have a MF A3cr power amp that I am considering matching a tube preamp or the matching the companion Preamp. Does anyone have any experience with the MF Pre and it ssound vs a tube pre. I am considering Rogue Perseus and Primaluna prologue 3 for the tube Pre. Thanks

I recently had an opportunity to purchase a Musical Fidelity CD Pre 24 for just a hair under $900 Shipping and Paypal already included. But the deal fell through last minute due to miscommunication and was picked up by somebody else. I just want to know if it is that good or are there other CD/Pre combos out there I should look at. There is one currently listed but the price is too high and at a lower rating than the one I had agreed to buy, which I am even considering if the price is right. I would use it with a McIntosh MC300 power amp that I picked up off Audiogon not long ago. I am looking for a combo because the real estate on my rack is already taken up with anothe MF integrated amp and a Meridian CD player. Any advice would be greatly apprreciated.? |
Read the review for the Musical Fidelity CD PRE 24 . I have owned the piece now for the last 8 years and absolutely love it. I picked it up new for $1300 or so, when discontinued, so it has upheld its price pretty well. I use it with a tube amp and Opera floorstanders. Rich |
I have a MF Nuvista preamp which came out just before the A3CR. As I understand it the circuits are similar, but the Nuvista was limited production (500 units) using Nuvistor "tubes", where the A3 uses SS devices. I love my Nuvista preamp and will never sell it. If you can find one they go for ~$1000 used. Else, based on the reviews I would be inclined to give the A3CR a try, and save $300-$400. |
