musical fidelity sound?


Do musical fidelity products (amp, cd player) have a signature sound? what is it?

I have to 308 CD player hooked to pushpull 300B amps driving sensitive speakers. Very neutral, A good place to start.
I found just the opposite to be true as Eldarado. I thought the components I have used of theirs were quite musical. (A3 integrated, A3 cdp, x150 integarted, A308 integrated) My friend had the KW 500 and I loved that integrated. Again, I thought it was quite musical. Nuetral is a good analogy as well.
I've heard the entire line-up, and I would agree with Eldarado. Not harsh, not offensive, but dry. Artificial is the word that comes to mind. When I hear MF gear, I hear hi-fi, not music. As you can see, opinions differ...so, you will want to hear it yourself.
I had the A308 with Signature 805's from B&W and loved that setup. One of the best I've had. When I heard the KW 500 it was on diamond 802's at my friend's house.

As others have pointed out, hear for yourself, as personal preference obviously plays a role here. Dry is not a term I would use.
