Musical Fidelity A3.2pre/power vs 308 intergrated
Mike, you mention that the A308 had less then 100 hours on it. I have a MF A300 and I found that this amp required a minmuim of 100 hours - to sound like it was starting to loosen up. I have heard from other MF owners that this is normal. Anyway, ...

advice for integrated amp
I have to go with the M/F A300. After audtioning many int. amps.-including the KAV300I and the CAP151. I found the A300 to have the best sound. As Jorge_err states, "wonderful tubelike sound". Throw in a great soundstage and dynamics and you have ... 
B&W cdm7nt experiences
I agree with Kevperro, break them in before you start to make changes. I own a pair of CDM1NTs. When I first put them in my system I was not impressed, I thought the sound was harsh, and bright. After a breakin period of 7 days at 12 hrs. a day th...
