    Musical Fidelity A5 Preamp Phono Section

    Hey guys, I was wondering if the phono section of my MF A5 pre would handle a low output moving coil cartridge? Cartridge would be a Dynavector Karat 17D. Thanks.

    Hi Delray,

    I thought you were thinking of selling your MF A5cr Pre Amp. Anyway what do you think of the sound quality of the A5 Pre?

    Do you listen to much R'n'B music through this amp eg Usher,Alicia Keys, Mary J Blige etc and what do you think of it?

    Have you also got the matching MF A5cr Pwr amp?

    Thanks

    Yas

      If your talking about the A-5 integrated amp, I don't think so. To the best of my knowledge MM or HO MC only.

        Hello Dave,

        I think Delray meant the A5cr Pre amp. Do you own the A5 Integrated amp?

        What is your own personal opinion on it's sound quality?

        Bye

          Yas, No I do not, but I did at one time own the 5 series CDP and thought highly of it !

            Hi yas. I did have this up for sale, but I was kinda testing the water. If it sold cool, if not cool. But I've decided to keep it now. As long as the phono pre is up to it. I don't have the A5 power amp. I'm currently using a Bryston 4B-ST.

              This is kinda cool. The USB feature is really interesting--automatically converts to a digital audio file?

              Replacement Phono Cartridge/Stylus
              by Susan
              Can any of you recommend a a good cartridge/stylus discounter? I need to replace the stylus on my Sony direct-drive (PSFL-72 II) but the Shure site doesn't recommend a replacement model. I'd love to buy just a replacement stylus, but realize this may not be possible as the cartridge (N110HE Shure) is...

              The following is a rather winded review of the effects resulting from the modifications that were recently finished on my nearly 30 year old Carver C-19 tube hybrid pre-amp with a built-in phono pre-amp.

              Tom is the owner of the shop and creator of the modification specifications. He is...

              Anyone RC1090 users happy with the phono stage on the pre? I recently purchased a Rega P5, Exact2 cartridge and TTPSU (power supply unit) but have yet to hook up - need to rearrange.
