MF NuVista800 improved
The unmodified NV800 is a very capable amp and one of MF’s best big integrated amps in stock form. It has clarity and detail but with a tendency to sound a touch soft and held back. Having had previous experience of JSAudio MF upgrades I knew the amp had more to offer. John’s upgrade takes […]
Upgraded amp
After owning my KW500 for a couple of years I decided to go for the Stage 2 upgrade. This was after reading all the glowing reviews here and I have not been disappointed! After running it in for a while the sound has improved no end. Dropping off and collecting the unit was easy and […]
Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300
The left channel of my Tri-Vista 300 integrated amplifier stopped working. Despite the lock-down, John was able to source the components to repair the unit (new valves were needed) as well as perform an upgrade. The repaired amp really does sound very special indeed.Once it has warmed up the depth, richness and musicality is remarkable. […]
A master at work
never thought my particular kit could sound any better than it already did but after John had worked his magic on it I have to say I’m totally amazed by the sonic improvements so like most on here I have no option but to give a 5 star rating and to say thanks a lot […]
Musical Fidelity X-P100 and X-AS100s
System: MF X-P100, 2x X-AS100, X-RAY, Michell Gyrodeck and B&M CDM9-NT speakers. Dealing with John was a pleasure, a real gentleman. He repaired and upgraded the X-P100 and upgraded the X-AS100s. I’m really made-up with the sound; more detail, more bass, much bigger soundstage, better balance between lows and highs, and more natural sounding. Previously […]
Krell KAV-300il Integrated Amp
I don’t normally do reviews but in this case, I’ve no hesitation in making an exception. John was upfront about mentioning the timescale he’d be aiming for to get my amp fully restored. To my surprise, given these challenging times, he proved to be a man of his word. I know it couldn’t have been […]
MUSICAL FIDELITY TRI-VISTA 21 DAC
We’ve all been to really good concerts and feel well entertained. Have you ever had a close look at the musicians face when they’re playing? You can tell who’s enjoying entertaining you. They always have this excruciating painful look, the most screwed up faces when the bass is digging deep or the guitarist is floating […]
Magic requires time and skill
Well. After nearly 1 year my Musical Fidelity XA200 amplifiers are back at home. They sound beautifully, I’m afraid not being able to find more subtleties in the sound; to me, they sounded great also before the repair/upgrade. In fact, they sound(ed) so good I am cold when I listen to some ‚Äúsuper systems‚Äù at […]
Meridian Upgrade
M100 speakers are over 30 years old and had never been serviced. John replaced power supply caps and input sockets. (the originals feel off) He also worked some other magic to the speakers. The G92 had a new power supply and again other magic. The character of the system is the same, I love it. […]
A100 reborn
I decided to get my old A100 renovated as it was my first , proper’ Hi-Fi amplifier and I missed its warm, mellifluous sound. I t had had a repair job some 15 years ago which had left it working but uninspiring to listen to. I contacted John who recommended a full rebuild and so […]
