Musical Fidelity A5 CDP


Does this machine still cut the mustard? There are so many new players to choose from now including the new Tri CD4SE (sounded very nice to my ears), Cambridge Audio C840, Astin Trew 3000 & 3500 and the beautiful Raysonic 128 & 168. Should I just look at the others or is the A5 still worth a listen too? They can be had for the same price as these others now.

Look elsewhere.

The A5 is actually not in the same league as MF's older but more expensive models of Nu-vista and Tri-vista, but like Kiwi I never really warmed up to the $5,500 Tri-vista. The reliability of this player is another issue.

I recently purchased the Reference Audio Mod Oppo 980 universal player (full mod version) which at 1/3 of the price completely outcasted the MF Tri-vista.
