Welcome to Musical Fidelity

Check out What Hifi, not a good review.

It's a super low end, metal box, generic headphone amp. There are a million others like it, only they cost $20, not $100. Just because it says Musical Fidelity on it doesn't mean it's a winner. Probably better keep looking.

You have listened to the amp, right?

Of course not. It kind of gets in the way when you simply want to make flash false assumptions.

Thanks, kind of figured as much. I have a major problem with people who coment on how a piece of gear sounds when they have never listened to it.

Hello everyone. It's been a very long time since I posted. But, anyway; I do own the MF V-Can. I've had it for about 3 months now. It is actually a very good amp. Don't let the price deceive you. It can drive my AKG K271 headphones with ease,which really impressed me. And yes; the sound quality is quite good. I'm assuming this amp uses op-amps or possibly a discrete design. I have not opened it up to see yet. For only $199, it's definitely a great bargain in my opinion. It would be interesting to see more Head-Fiers trying out the V-Can.

Although, I have not heard the amp, it looks very attractive with it's minimal features and design. Stereophile magazine mentioned the amp recently and said good things about it. And if I remember correctly, they said it is an amp that most people would need.

If you are on a budget and need an amp thats small because space is an issue, this looks like a good pick!

I finally opened up the V-Can tonight, and it's all Transistors, no op-amps. It looks pretty well made. I would say it's a very good bargain for only $199.

It's an even bigger bargain if you live here in the UK.
