I am only somewhat familiar with those pieces from prior research but I suspect it is worth the difference.
Musicl Fidelity A3.2 integrated or A3 separates
A3.2 can be had for US$1000 whereas A3 preamp US$600 plus A3 amp US$700. Cannot audition both in New Zealand (not available).What is opinions and is it worth the price difference. Rest of system is MF A3.2 CD player, Linn LP12 turntable and KEF Q75 Tower speakers.
