Hi,

Have had a Musical fidelity A1 in a second system together with BC1, best simple combo I've had in my workshop in years, it sings beautifully … until it doesn't, recently the amp has been developing distorted sound randomly that I can only fix by futzing with the source selector. It's been getting worse to the point I've stopped using it. Competent repairers in Hi-fi are hard to find here in Belgium it seems they are either washing machine specialists or self-proclaimed hifi vintage experts waiting to rip me off a fortune for just a pot and a contact cleaner shower.
So as I can't think of a replacement amp that would be such a good match with the BC1, I'm now seriously considering sending to England for a serious revision.

So my questions to you would be : is it worth considering an overhaul of the A1 after all these years? and as google comes with quite a few "specialists" in the UK can anyone recommend the man I need?
