I purchased the Musical Fidelity A370a mk2 little over a year ago now for £640. I is a absolute beast. I'm currently running it through a set of Moudant Short Performance 6 LE speakers.....I won't real off the rest of my equipment but needless to say it sounds amazing. I auditioned both my modified Pre Amp and the A370 agaisnt a Bryston Pre / Power set up. Have to say the Bryston was / is good but the setup I had put together sounded more musical and at a snip of the price...all be it second hand equipment. Guess they don't make stuff like the used to.....Its all about how cheeeeep can we make it and how can keep telling the consumer the newer model is even better in the hope that we keep spending money, even if its not true.
