Hi:
Bought my MF A3-cr from a very careful audiophile friend. When first used it inmediately noticed a "relaxing" quality in sound never experienced before. Also bass has an impressive authority and definition. Not to forget the velvety black silent background. Only recommended improvement is replacing the power cord. My amp is currently plugged-in with a home-brewed double shielded "Merlino-14" (factory is 18 gauge, no shielding).
Have heard better (VTL 150 tube mono amps, At-mass phere OTLs) but those cost 7 to 10 times more and differences are really small. Besides, by careful system set-up a very "real" musical illusion can be achieved.
Last but not least. A sound system includes, the electricity caracteristics in your area, your recordings' quality, your listening room topography and dimensions, room furniture, your own moods and also your ears not to mention your sound balance preferences. These are unique and very personal elements.
Happy listenings to all!
