Review: Musical Fidelity A-3cr Amplifier

Category: Amplifiers

After about 40 hours of playing music, this amp is really a killer. That when the bass starts opening up. Transparency is always there right when I played it the first time. Great details. The amp is also very pretty, small compact but powerful. It is also very quiet. With Joule Electra LA100 tube pre-amp, I couldn't stop listening to many old CDs. The bass, the soundstage, the transparency, details, sweetness all show up to give me the sense that I own a very expensive system. Great product at very reasonable price.

I listen to Jazz and vocal. Mid-range is important to me. Base is important to my wife. This amp has been in my system for about 9 months. I replaced it with Krell. A lot more transparency, better base, more clarity after replacing Krell with MF.

Strengths: Transparency, great sound stage, good bass, nice looking, small

Weaknesses: None
