This is a rare chance to bid on a fantastic amplifier from Musical Fidelity. It has won countless awards from top magazines around the world.
The A3 has a dual mono configuration, with a separate power transformer for each power amp, and separate windings for the preamp and remote control. The cutting-edge printed circuit board design uses double-sided, plate-through-holes PCBs, with an advanced ground plane configuration to ensure astonishing performance. Inputs are switched via relay. Phono MM/MC stage is standard. The A's rated power is 85 watts per channel, but it will deliver sustained peak powers of 110 watts. In other words, the A3 will deliver plenty of peak current, loads of peak volts and will be unconditionally stable into any load. The front panel is machined, heavy, milspec, extruded aluminium with a bright silver finish, similar to the X-A Family. ***** are machined of solid aluminium with gold-plated detailing.

Features

Dual mono power amps

Separate transformer windings for preamp

Separate windings for digital remote control electronics

Full remote control

High quality phono MM/MC stage as standard Very low high-frequency distortion up to 60kHz

The amplifiier is boxed with intructions and ofcourse the remote control.

ow comes the Poer Amplifier:

The bass is rich and weighty, and the treble clean and clear, but most impressive is the way the whole frequency range is held together, sounding integrated without undue emphasis on any part of the range...a presentation balanced from low bass to the highest treble with the result that it holds together extremely well." Specification

Power output (0.5% distortion) : 120 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, 210 watts per channel into 4 Ohms

THD 20Hz-20KHz : <0.005% at 1KHz 'A' weighted

Frequency response : 10Hz-20KHz+/-0.5dB, 10Hz-100KHz+/-2dB

Channel separation : >85dB 20Hz-20kHz

Input sensitivity : 1000mV

Input impedance : 31KOhm

S/N ratio : >-98dB 'A' weighted (Ref 1W), >-120dB 'A' weighted (full output)

Power consumption : 600W maximum

Dimensions (mm) : Amplifier 440 x 95 x 400 (W x H x D) (Height includes feet, depth includes terminals)

Weight : 15kg

Features

Dual mono design. - Ensures perfect imaging and maximum dynamic attack. State of the art sound.

Choke regulated power supply. - Almost complete absence of signal or power supply 'sawtooth' residual. This leads to incredibly clean sound with extraordinary resolution of low level detail.

Loop out facility. - Allows easy 'daisy chaining' of A3cr for bi- or tri-amping, or home cinema use with existing setup.

Very high peak current, low output impedance and exceptional stability margins. - Will drive any loudspeaker with ease.

These items cost me £2000 new. Im looking for £700. I think thats the lot. If anyone is interested please email me.

Many thanks
