Musical Fidelity M6Si
Just want to share my opinion with the upgrade of my amp – Musical Fidelity M6Si. First of all – John Sampson is a brilliant tech-guy, he knows the MF products in details and knows their weakness. After contacting John we clarified the upgrade – 10-15 emails and I decide to make upgrade Stage 3. […]
More musical
I got in touch with John for repair of my CD player which had stopped providing an audio output and decided to go for the Stage 1 upgrade at the same time. I’m very pleased with the improvement in sound quality. Although I’ve long appreciated the Musical Fidelity sound, the combination with my PMC speakers […]
Bought back to life
John is an ex MF service engineer, I worked for the company during the latter years and I’ve always been a fan of MF kit. With the sale of the company I was unsure how legacy products could be serviced and repaired. I knew of John’s work and how highly regarded his work is seen. […]
Musical Fidelity NuVista 800
Upgrade done in an extremely professional manner. All Capacitors replaced op-amps internal cabling and speaker binding posts replaced. The first thing I noticed was that the sound is so much smoother; sounding much more like a single ended amplifier. The smoother sound is not at the expense of information; far from it. I can now […]
A5 CD and A5CR pre
John completed a Stage 2 upgrade on my A5 CR Pre, I was using a Croft Micro 25R pre, sounded good but presented a vague and inconsistent soundstage. John assured my that the upgraded pre would bring everything into focus.. he was SO right. Next stage was to upgrade my aging A5 CD to Stage […]
Musical Fidelity Fully Balanced Pre
You switch on the amp you’ve cherished for 11 years and after a moment it turns off and you have that sinking feeling. You take it to the local highly respected repairers and you are told that the main transformer has failed and they cannot get a replacement. You then dredge from the back of […]
Repair and Upgrades
If like me you are wanting the right person to repair your HiFi separates you have come to the right place, John is excellent. My Quad 405-2 amp went bang so I looked at Quad service reviews, they were a bit hit and miss. My Musical fidelity A3CD player was skipping so I searched for […]
Stage 3 – Is there no limit?
So had to take my kW500 for a check as I had clumsily shorted an input terminal (with the volume still up!) Asked John if he could do the stage three upgrade which includes a new Alps pot and upgraded capacitors, well it just gets better and better!! The sound stage is even more defined, […]
Spectacular Delivered
Having had my MF A3 Dual Mono Pre amplifier upgraded in 2019 by John the difference in sound quality was immediately noticeable and improved even more over time. In the search of sound perfection John had also suggested at the time of upgrading my MF A3 power amp to increase the quality even more. The […]
XA -200R repair & upgrade
Musical Fidelity XA-200R upgrade It’s been roughly 3 weeks since I delivered by beloved but aged XA-200R down to JS Audio. I traveled back down to collect my amplifier, on the day after the very strong winds, that caused so much destruction around various parts of the uk. Little did I know my XA-200R was […]
