Musical Fidelity

I replaced a Parasound Halo P3 preamp with a MF A5cr preamp. It was the best upgrade to my system I've ever done.

I have a MF Nuvista preamp and a MF E20 preamp and love both. I had at one time a MF A3.2 power amp and it was great. I just had too many power amps so I let it go in favor of a higher power unit.

Forgot to add, I also have a MF X-LP phono preamp which is a great phono preamp for the money.

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.

I had recent good experience with MF M2si, really wonderful sound quality at that price, great build quality. I don' have any personal experience with prior MF equipment. Hopefully, if there were problems, they've been take care of since Pro-Ject purchase. I don't care where they're built, bunch of nonsense.
