Hot Stuff – Why Musical Fidelity's Reborn A1 Integrated Amp is in a Class of Its Own

Mike and David discuss the new 2023 version of Musical Fidelity's full Class A, A1 amplifier – having given it exhaustive (and very heated) listening tests with an assortment of sources and speakers... Classic A1 owner David also compares it to the original version, as well as the recently reviewed Naim NAIT 50. With all this auditioning, the guys feel confident to proclaim that it gives stellar sound considering its modest price – it is true affordable audio esoterica. Watch to the end for a very special Easter Egg... a first for the guys. Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way. So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and please leave your comments below.
