It's painful and puzzling to see the DNM excluded.

Likewise anything from Quad. 33/303/405.

Surely the legendary Musical Fidelity NuVista 300 that beat the Yanks at their own game with power (300w of hybrid rare NuVista tube and transistor), style (2 massive aluminium enclosures separating amplifier/PSU) and aesthetics, at a fraction of Krell/Mark Levinson price?

 

[Mr. C Nation]

Another Musical Fidelity omission - the B1.

Described [somewhat bizarrely] by "The Gramaphone", a content review magazine with a small but highly discerning hardware review section as 'unnecessarily good'. The better the speakers and CD player it was hooked up to, the better the sound. Finally, dealing with the signal from a Marantz CD63 Mll K.I. and driving a pair of Rogers LS 7's, it really showed what it could do.

I had one for 30 years. I was so leary that it would break down and I'd have to go shoopping, I bought a back up. It never did. I'd have another - replace my Marantz 6006 tomorrow - if it included digital inputs. Why mess about with sound bars when you can hook a TV up to quality gear?
