Hi, Mark,
I've been reading this thread with interest because I've been using a MF A3.5 integrated since 2007 and have been enjoying it a lot. It's been the only pre/power source through upgrades in the turntable, phono stage and cartridge, a CD player (including a tube buffer and DAC), and speakers. With each change in the system I could easily hear the improvements in sound. (Well, one speaker "upgrade" turned out to be a downgrade and I quickly replaced them with a true upgrade.) So good or bad, right or wrong, my stereo has basically been built around the A3.5. All I can say in my defense is that the system sounds very, very good and I haven't had the urge to upgrade anything for some time now.
But, I know that the A3.5 is getting older and have wondered what an upgraded pre/power source might sound like. Trouble is, I'm not sure what the next step up might be in a modern integrated amp. Parasound's new Halo Integrated? I'm not in any hurry to find out and I may decide to go ahead and have the A3.5 rebuilt when the time comes. What have you been considering?
Regards,
Tom
