Hello all - Just wanted to float this question to anyone who might have experience with either piece of gear. I recently got a great deal on a Musical Fidelty A3cr power amp, which I bought because I needed more power for my latest speaker acquisition, Infinity RS IIIa's. I had been driving the Infinitys with my SX-850 which I am now using as a pre-amp for the A3cr. Sound is great, but I sense I'm on the verge of a top-notch system here and want to take the plunge on a pre-amp, preferably one with a remote. I could get either the matching pre from MF - A3cr preamp - or an AES DJH signature for roughly the same price shipped, in the 550-700 range. I have a rough idea that the A3cr power amp could benefit from tubes and yet there is something compelling about the idea of having its matching piece (which of course received glowing reviews back in the day from a certain magazine). Anyone out there have any thoughts, experiences to share? Thanks - Dave.
