Musical Fidelity A5 Fire - Struggling to get support

hi there,

I was a proud owner of an A5 integrated until recently. after about a decade of stellar performance, the unit caught fire after powering up. turns out the switch failed. pretty dangerous failure mode because its not fuse-protected. I had to reach in and turn it off while sparks emitted.

I’m posting this to raise awareness, and to ask for help if anyone knows how to resolve the issue with MF. I have tried the US dealer, and called the UK technical support number which is no longer in service.

any suggestions before I modify the chassis myself and install an aftermarket switch...

Cheers
