Kiwi:
I just replaced the Musical Fidelity solid state power equipment in my main system with Prima Luna tube equipment. I originally had an A3 integrated that I replaced (after a year) with an A300 CR power amp and CD PRE 24 cd player/preamp combination. I always felt that the the MF amplifiers were eloquent sounding, but after hearing the Prima Luna amplifiers the music was so much more alive and musical sounding.
I am currently using a Prima Luna Prologue 2 integrated in my secondary system (Omega Super 3 speakers; SONY SCD 555 ES SACD player) and a Prima Luna Prologue 5 power amp in my main system (MF CD PRE 24 and AR 302 speakers).
The Prima Luna brand is carried by Upscale Audio . Definitely worth checking out and you would not require the MF tube buffer ... you would already be using tubes.
Regards, Rich
