Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage
Interestingly, an X-Series system comprising an X-10v3, X-Ray V3, X-Dac and X-PSU, plus the X-Pre and X-P200 amp, costs more (with the additional number of high-quality analog and coax cables that are required to link it all up) than a pairing of ... 
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
About the diamond tweeter... what they said to you might suggest they need to keep the 805 down at its current price level because they already have a new speaker planned (with diamond tweeter?) for the next rung of their price ladder. I wonder ho... 
Headphone Amp with Remote ? Antique Sound LH-01?
I have experience of the Musical Fidelity X-Can v3 and the Sugden HeadMaster, with both the Sennheiser HD650 and the Grado RS-1 headphones.In my opinion, the Sennheisers sounded superb with the X-Cans – smooth and detailed with no hint of harshnes... 
B&W 805S.. Anyone listen yet?
I owned the N805 and I've also had the 805 Signature on home audition.I think it's fair to say I came to like B&W sound DESPITE what I would read on audio forums and hear from dealers (who didn't carry their speakers). There never seemed to be... 
Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5?
I have not heard the Arcam, but I have compared the Krell with the A5, using B&W 805s speakers, Musical Fidelity A5 CD player and Nordost Red Dawn cables.That setup might not be very fair on the Krell because the A5 is paired with its sister-m... 
B&W or Sonus Faber with Musical Fidelity A5?
Thanks for your response (and to everyone else for their responses too).I bought the new 805s. They've been playing only a few hours, but straight from the box and working with the A5 electronics, they are mightily impressive. Judging by the first... 
Krell 400xi ? Arcam FMJ 32? Musical Fidelity A5?
Agree totally with Audio4ever's criticism of Simaudio service. All talk and no action was my lasting impression of those people. 
Musicla Fidelity a3.5 integrated?
From what I understand (according to a dealer I spoke to), the A3.5 is simply a repackaged X-Ray V3.That's not a bad thing in itself – the X-Ray is a very good player, but I think MF has simply decided a traditionally-sized unit will sell better. 
Musical Fidelity X series amp and CD player
I found the X-150 too bass heavy for my liking. However, this doesn't apply to the terrific new X-Series pre and power amp combination. This sounds really wonderful. I am also using other X-series components (X-Ray, X-Dac and X-10) and I am deligh... 
Review: VooDoo Reference Bi-Wire Speaker cable
Is this supposed to be an independent review, or an interview with the manufacturer? 
Musical Fidelity's x10-v3 tube output buffer?
When using the tube buffer, you enter a situation where your interconnects need to be considered. For example, many tube users use relatively bright-sounding interconnects to give some sparkle to the extra warmth of tube sound.It figures then (gen... 
Musical Fidelity's x10-v3 tube output buffer?
for every system, nor will the X-10 be right for everyone's setup.It would be beneficial to mention a couple of points.First, the X-10 v3 does add a 1db signal boost. Having said that, I don't hear any extra noise at all.Secondly, as I said in my ... 
The best CD Player for the money
No doubt in my mind. The Musical Fidelity X-Ray is a great machine at a really good price. Looks and sounds very satisfying indeed.Try pairing it with the X-10v3 tube buffer and X-PSU (power supply) and I think you'll be even more delighted.I have... 
Musical Fidelity's x10-v3 tube output buffer?
My experience of the new X-10v3 is very positive.I think it is important to note at the outset that the results when used with the X-PSU (power supply) are several levels of excellence higher.Without the X-PSU, the X-10 came across as sweet and sm... 
Cables for Musical Fidelity/Dynaudio system?
Thanks to you all for your input, I do have some positive news – I tried some Nordost Red Dawn (interconnects and speaker cables) and there has been a BIG improvement. Everything tighter and more extended. They have only had a few hours play and I...
