| what is the best amp for B&W 802N I biamp with the A3CR on top and the A300CR on the bottome. This gives me plenty of power, and its easy since they have the same gain. You can pick up a used A300 for what you want to spend. | |
| Question about sound below an amps frequency specs Most solid state amps will "pass" frequencies below 20Hz, but most speakers will not reproduce such low notes. My guess is that the tube amp sent 2nd and or 3rd harmonics to the speakers, and that is what you heard. | |
| Musical Fidelity A5 CD Player its the 6112 tube, called the mu-vista by MF, and it lasts a VERY_ long time, so go ahead and leave the unit on if you like. by the way, this info IS on their web site. | |
| Musical Fidelity A324 DAC, Is this a ?? I owned one for a while, before taking advantage of the upgrade to the tri-vista dac. I totally disagree with snofun3, I found it to be a big improvement over the redbook on my sony c555es, a highly regarded sacd/cdp. If you do not trust Sam’s opi... | |
| Musical Fidelity Digital Playback I had the MF A3 DAC and traded it in on the TriVista. I thought the TV had better resolution, a more extended base, and a lower noise floor. I continue to enjoy the TV, and think it is one of the best out there, short of the $10K + crowd. I have h... | |
| Power Conditioner for Amps. I plug my amp, SS MF, into my PS 600. It definately produces a "darker" background that I like, and I do not detefct any loss of dynamics. | |
| B&W Nautilus 803 & Musical Fidelity A3 Do you mean the A3 integrated or the A3cr power amp? i have the 803's with the A3cr on top (trebble) and A300cr on the bottom, and the biamped combo sounds a lot better than just the A3, especially at higher volumes. I have heard the 308, and it a... | |
| FM reception in Los Angeles i listen to kusc a lot, and it sounds just fine. i use an outdoor antenna, the winegard, and i think that it helps a lot, especially in an area like LA with a crowded fm dial and reflections off of the mountains. fm tuner is fanfare ft-1a, a very ... | |
| digital or analog output? I suspect you are mistaken. Except for a few very high end SACD units that digitally output to their own DACs, no SACD units have digital out. Your units digital out is probably only for regular CDs. For those, it all depends on the aquality of th... | |
| Any Good SACD Player Plays CD Well I have heard the new Musical Fidelity Tri Vista player, and it sounded great. Its about $6000. See a review in the recent Stereophile. | |
| PS Audio power plants I love my P600. I found that i could run a big SS amp on it, because although the amp is rated for high power, at normal volume levels it does not draw that much power. | |
| Which Amp for B&W N803 I drive my n803s with "only" 120 watts, and it is plenty in my medium size room. I use the MF A3cr pair and like the sound a lot. | |
| Anyone compare the B&W CDM9NT & N804 The 804 is a little more transparent and smooth in the mids and highs, the 9 has perhaps a better bass. I went with 803s. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 Dac, any thoughts? Reviews? I have one, and like it. I have not had another DAC in my system to campare it with, but I can compare it to my sony 555es that I use for SACD and as the transport. Compared to the sony, the MF has more detail, especially in the highs. Also, the b... | |
