Hi

I have a purchased a Musical Fidelity A5 CD player and amp which sound good
but I believe could use an overhaul. They offer to repair but apparently
have no upgrade or modding service. I have however seen several advertised
on ebay and through google searches.
Has anyone had such mods or updates done on their Musical Fidelity Hifi,
and what were they? Did they really make a big difference, ie was it worth
the cost?

Your input/experiences much appreciated,

I don't have any experience with MuFi, but I'm sure they would consider
the 750K Supercharger an upgrade.

The best way to upgrade Musical Fidelity gear is unload it on some other
son of a bitch and buy something better designed.

You're the first person I've heard complain about Musical Fidelity's
designs. What's your beef?

MuFi is built using oddball parts they have cornered the supply of and they
make ridiculous and unverifiable claims.

I don't see Musical Fidelity specifically mentioned on this guy's
site, but you might want to check him out for mods and repairs. -

See my previous posts. A glance at a tube manual from the relevant
era will show why Nuvistors were not used much in audio. They tended
to be microphonic, being frame grid types. MuFi wanted a gimmick.

You're the first person I've heard complain about Musical
Fidelity's designs.

You must be very uninformed.

What's your beef?

It is juncque.

Anybody running short of snot? Nobody ordered any, I'm sure of that.
Nonetheless, we've received a rather putrid delivery of BorgSmugSnot. The
Krooborg's signal receptors must be damaged.

Try to unclench yourself, Turdy. I'm sure he was talking about human
beings, and more specifically, human being who enjoy listening to music.
Obviously™ no mere flesh-and-blood human being could possibly know how an
Audio 'Borg rates hifi gear. Your crew are the ones who have the blind,
unreasoning faith in the unproven blinding rituals, after all. The aBxism
religion is virtually a black hole for Normals. Instead of snotting on
Normals who are unfamiliar with the mumbling and binary chatter that fills
your auditory channels, a high-functioning 'borg should endeavor to inform
us about your differing POV.
