FS Musical Fidelity A3 cr Power Amplifier £450, Upgraded by John Sampson

[Colinijohnson]

My power amp was upgraded in 2017 by John Sampson former head engineer at MS. John replaced all the power supply, decupling and biploar capacitors - as well as substantially upgrading the input cabling, audio feedback and gain stage circuits
The resulting upgrade is phenomenal - I will probably regret parting with this amp, but house move means I must
£450
Collect in Croydon, or I can delivery up to 25 miles for a petrol donation. Insured delivery is £25
Thanks
Colin

If anyone is seriously interested I would disconnect my cables & post if required - alternatively here's a pic off the web with the exact details...
Thanks

Interesting story behind the nice oversized speaker cable sockets, MF had loads made for the Nu Vista and it was cheaper to use them up than get new (cheaper) ones made just for this amp.

I wouldn't mind having some of those instead of the crappy plastic ones that came with my MF A5 integrated :(

Colin's A3cr comes from a highly regarded series, but the JS Audio upgrades will be taking it to another level. GLWS.

Great power amp - offers?

Also the A3s were dual mono, The A5s not. Presumably a cost cutting thing, but having said that I'm more than happy with the A5. No plans to change it.

[Colinijohnson]

Any offers?
