Dear John, This review is long overdue but here goes. What a great job of upgrading my M3 Nu Vista amp and Nu Vista 3Dcd player you did. The sound quality and stereo imaging is FANTASTIC, purchased HDCD version of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells. You have to hear it to believe it, Blows you away, […]
Review long overdue
Last may I encountered a small problem with my kW550. After reading all the excellent reviews on this website concerning MF products, I decided to contact John. After a nice hi-fi conversation I decided to send in my kW550. And at the same time asked John to do the full upgrade. Changing the cables and […]

John Sampson to the rescue!
We had our Nu-Vista M3 ‘Fine Tuned’ by Musical Fidelity a couple of years ago. However the channel selector became completely degraded and we contacted John to ask him to repair it and, in for a penny in for a pound, went for a general upgrade as well. What I didn’t really expect was for […]

Tri-Vista 300 Upgrade
This was a heavy and expensive amp to ship to the UK from Canada for John to work on! It was worth the effort and cost though as the amp came back a better sounding unit compared to the original product. I always liked the Tri-Vista but it has been sitting in my second system. […]
MF KW Kit upgrade
I have been meaning to write this review for the past three years as john upgraded my full suite of Musical Fidelity KW gear. The result even three ears later still blows people away. Subsequent to to the upgrades I moved to Kenya and managed to damage the Power Amp due to crap power out […]
A3CR/A5CR Amps Upgrade
I sent my Musical Fidelity A5CR Pre Amp and pair of 10 year old A3CR Power Amps to join for his upgrade including terminal replacement expecting a small improvement (I’m a bit cynical due to the endless exaggeration when it comes to audio on the internet) but hoping to be pleasantly surprised. The difference was […]
