Musical Fidelity has released a modernized version of their classic A1 Class A integrated amplifier from the 1980s. The new A1 features a USB input, line level and MM phono inputs, a front-panel display, a full remote control, improved build quality and updated styling. Musical Fidelity claims that the pure Class A circuitry produces a sweet, warm and full sound without hardening or muddying compression artifacts as the amp approaches full power.

Speakers with at least 92dB/W/m sensitivity are recommended for use with the A1 because of the limited amount of power available, the other option being to use the A1 to drive a pair of Musical Fidelity 550K or 750K Superchargers. The new A1 will be available in April '08 for just under $2,000, followed by a matching A1 CD PRO 2 CD player in May.

This is the latest A1 amplifier. Always love their sound from high end to the low end. Have you try the A1 cd player?
