| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? While I own Musical Fidelity gear, might I suggest a Krell 400xi integrated - about $1500 if you shop, tons of power for future upgrade possibilties, XLR outs, and ridiculous build quality. Good luck. | |
| MF A5 is messed up Carlos-Because my service from MF was so good I feel compelled to agree with Merganser, most people would be thrilled with a turnaround of less than two weeks. Don't call the techs, call Signal Path's main line and talk with a main rep and tell hi... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V That is great writing, period. Humorous, informative, truthful. I have a pair of 201's in my garage with an old Pioneer receiver and Technics CDP - all for under $100. Sounds great, for the garage. It isn't my MF Tri-Vista 300, but hey, this is ab... | |
| MF A5 is messed up Call Signal Path, MF service in the US is fantastic. They can help over the phone, and if needed, send for repair - VERY fast turnaround time, excellent service. www.signalpathint.com | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1971 Datsun 240z (a driver's car), no new cars for me :), too techy and heavy today - ok, maybe a Prius, ultimate = Lamborghini Islero, circa 1966. | |
| 30 Years, 5 Cities, Many Storms - Not One Failure In my case, yes. I also have a fair amount of automobiles, vintage parts, and other equipment that I purposely photographed/documented, and discussed with my agent, just to be safe. I am sure all policies are different, so it is wise to check. And... | |
| 30 Years, 5 Cities, Many Storms - Not One Failure In personal discussions with two Companies who's gear I own - Krell and Musical Fidelity - they both said, without allowing me to quote them, over the phone, to not use any type of conditioner or suppression device, unless you have massive interfe... | |
| Krell 400xi vs. BAT VK-300x vs. McIntosh MA6900 This may be of little help, as the MA 6500 and 6900 are different animals indeed, but I had the 6500 and a 400xi in my system recently, and found the Krell much more dynamic, but sometimes to a fault (little midrange bloom). That being said, I upg... | |
| Krell 400xi or Musical Fidelity A5 for ML Summit? That is good to hear about Krell. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day. As I stated, I think the 400xi is one of the best deals on the market. I had a 400 paired with PSB Goldi's for a bit(they add some warmth back to the Krell), and for under $2... | |
| Krell 400xi or Musical Fidelity A5 for ML Summit? My only input is that I did direct A/B tests between a 400xi and a MF TriVista 300(a bit of apples to oranges, I know, but the cost of a used TriVista is about the same as a new 400xi) - the Krell was very articulate, I would say, but with lows a ... | |
| musical fidelity sound? Had to post here, currently have a MF TriVista 300, have done many A/B's against Krell 400 xi, modded McCormack, and McIntosh MA6500. Perfect word, at least in my system - laid back. ULTRA laid-back. Absolutely wonderful, IMHO. Krell was engaging,... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD CD Player I spoke with Signal Path, and they say the transport can usually be repaired for under $200. Worst case, MF will replace the TriVista CDP with a new KW 500 CDP/transport for $900. Yeah, $900 sucks, but you're getting a $5k+ plus player for 9 bills... |
