New version of MF "A3" int. amp.

Trelja, I saw picture of this unit in recent british mag HiFi News & record review. The US price will probably be around $2000, but MF is very cheap through Audio Advisor. For example A3 integrated costs 850 pounds, current exchange rate is @1 pound = $1.50, so AA should sell for $1300, but they sell for $995 new or $850 demo. This is all in the future I have no exact timing for when AA will sell, Sam

Trelja, above comments were for new integrated sorry, as far as new CDP I have no price info or availability date, please call AA to get the latest, Sam

Thanks for the info Sam! I will keep my eye out for that player. Think there is an excellent chance I will buy. I really love the A3. By the way, as I consider you the cable guru and quite up on the new Musical Fidelity products, have you tried the NuVista silver interconnects? I believe they are solid silver, and about $250(?). Like everything Antony Michaelson does, I am sure this has to be a winner. He always offers great value for money, world class performance at real world prices. Since he is not a cable manufacturer exclusively, I would venture to guess his goal is to make a product that can stand with any, but he won't rely on it to keep him in business(so doesn't have to be $1000/m). Thanks again.

Trelja, British are way behind USA as far as aftermarket cables go, going back to the brain washing by Linn/Naim that their cheap cables were all you need, and anything else was waste of money. More and better choices now, but still hard to find any British company that offers aftermarket AC cords! I prefer copper cables in general and have not heard NuVista silver cables, but I suspect similar priced products from Silver Audio or Harmonic Tech would be superior, Sam

There is a picture of new integrated amp in Nov What HiFi mag. Unit is called NuVista M3 integrated amp, styling is like other A3 line, no details were given, but it looks big and powerful @200w? and will very likely have CR (choke regulation). The real question is will it use nuvistors like previous NuVista products, previously MF said they had bought the entire world supply of these. Price is steep, 3,000 pounds which will be about $4,000 through Audio Advisor, please check with Audio Advisor to confirm future availability and final details. Most people should just go ahead and get A3 or A300, much better value, Sam
