Hey Tom,
I always enjoyed your reviews in S'phile. And have bought several pieces over the years that you recommended.
I have a question regarding Musical Fidelity. I know that you have heard many of the older integrateds and some of the separates. I had both a A3.2 and one of the nuVista integrated amps. The one thing about the integrateds that bothered me was that I felt they were kind of slow and lacking dynamics when listening to Rock music. I was using Vandersteen model 1s and 3s at the time. I never owned or got to hear any of the separates of that time period. I am talking about the A3, A300, A308 etc.
In the separates, do you believe the preamps or the amps contributed more to the so-called house sound of the MF separates of that day?
BTW, thanks for the recommendation on the new MF v90 DAC. I agree, it is a great DAC.
Thanks,
Bill
