When I was at the show I was told about a new "Trivistor" tube lineup that was to be debuted in the next few months.I don't know anything else about that.The A3.2 is not choke regulated.I borrowed the A3 24 dac and have just installed it in my system.My guess is that it needs a lot of burn in,cause it sounds very harsh right now.I only have it for a week so I have left it playing for the last 48hrs.I'll offer some impressions later.I was told by the Kevro rep that I should not use any type of conditioner with this unit or any of the other MF choke regulated units.I did replace the power cord with a Harmonic Tech I have on hand.When I first heard an A3 about two years ago I wasn't impressed and the dealer that had them was really honest with me in expressing his lack of enthusiam about the MF line up back then as well.The new MF lineup is just fantastic.I don't know what they have learned in the last few years but the difference in the sonics of their current vs.their previous products is vast.I contend that the MF gear is the best digital I have so far heard.I really want to see what they can do with an SACD player.If you guys have seen some of the pics I have taken from the three stereo shows I have been to in the last year you know I have heard lots of gear and have auditioned much of it in my systems.I have had all three of the Cary players in my system,I have heard the two latest Krell players,all the NAD,Meridian,Arcam,Roskan,BAT,one Naim player,I have owned a AH!4000,a Marantz SACD,A cambridge D500SE,and have an MSB DAC with all the user installable upgrades including upsampling and the upgraded power supplies.I have also owned a ART DIO and many other CDPs and a few other DACs.Musical Fidelity simply does digital better than anyone else right now.the NU-Vista 3D is the best standard CDP I have ever heard and the 308 is damn close.The A3.2 that was pictured in the system with the monoblocs was a close third.I hate that the stuff is so expensive but the best always is.I cannot wait until I get the 308.I have rarely been this hyped about getting a piece of gear.
The exact qoute from the literature for the M250 Monoblocs:
The newly developed Musical Fidelity M250 250W mono-bloc amplifier was designed for home theatre,multi-channel or two-channel applications.The M250 is a neat,tidy,FUNKY mono block amplifier with huge power.The circuitry is basically the same as the NU-Vista M3 but with slightly less output current capacity.The front dimensions are 7.5 inches wide and about 5 inches in height.
The M250 has a loop output allowing easy bi-amping while the custom extruded chassis ia designed for easy stacking making bi-amping an easy option.The automatic sensing circuit will switch the amplifier on as soon as it semses any signal above 10mv.If no signal is recieved for 15 minutes,the amplifier will automatically go into standby mode.e
The M250 is also fitted with a trigger sensing circuit,which has a trigger loop output for triggering other units from the same signal and will operate from any standard trigger signal
The Musical Fidelity M250 is extremely powerful and clean.It will drive almost any loudspeaker to almost any acoustic level.It provides enormous flexibility,ease of use,ease of installation and great value for the money. Cost $1195.00 EACH
I have been trying to get a pair to audition but they are currently sold out.They too sounded great.The wait is on
