Hi

Has anyone had any experience of this amp? Someone has offered me one and I wonder if theres anything important I need to be aware of.

Are they unreliable?


**Well, they're Musical Fidelity products. As such they:

* Have poor heat sinking.
* Use components that MF purchased cheap. Those components were used,
despite the fact that they have not been manufactured for 60 odd years
and replacements cannot be obtained.
* Use cheap quality components wherever possible.
* Things like electrolytic caps are marginally rated and fail prematurely.
* Are a triumph of style (which is, IMO, stunningly ugly) over substance.
* Should be avoided at all costs.
