Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3 Amplifier

I purchased a 23 year old MF Nu Vista m3 amplifier, which hadn’t been used for 12 years due to unforeseen circumstances by the previous owner. Once I connected the amplifier up and after a few days, I could clearly hear that there was a fault with the left channel. On doing alittle research on […]

MF A5 Integrated Amplifier Upgrade

After hearing a demo at a Hifi show I bought a preowned MF A5 amp about 12 years ago. Since then I have been very happy with the amp which has performed flawlessly. Then, very recently, when I switched on the amp, there was a bang, accompanied by a burning smell. My first thought was […]

Upgrade to my aging MF B1 – was getting to sound quite dull after many years (probably since 1992/3 around that time when I bought it new). Upgrade of components by JS Audio a few weeks ago. Now sounds incredible! Never heard such clarity and depth before from this amp. Much appreciated. Massive thank you!

Outstanding work

I’d had my A370.2 since new and for various reasons after our last house move my hifi didn’t come out of the boxes. The A370 sat unused since early 2005 until Covid happened and like many others at that time when stuck at home I started to pick up old hobbies. However when the A370 […]
