This episode sees Michael Evans and David Price have a heated debate over Musical Fidelity's classic A1 integrated amplifier.
A full Class A design by tube legend Tim de Paravicini, in a striking nineteen eighties modernist case by Kenneth Grange – made possible by the vision of Antony Michaelson. What's not to like?
The guys agree that the sound is seriously special, although they're not convinced by its reliability record. That said, what Brit amp of that period was bulletproof?
Each episode of Mike and Dave's Hi-Fi Riff features their unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and/or wonderful hi-fi designs.
Mike has a huge wealth of knowledge from his hi-fi retail years, and David’s written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few tips along the way.
So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing – and do leave your comments below.
