in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
I have decided to make a new listing for this since my re-list is buried in the other thread.

Only selling because I have the crazy itch again, and I'm wanting to go back to separates.

Here were my honest thoughts on the unit...

No remote.
Occasionally has scratchy volume between 11 and 12 on the dial, but goes away after a few turns.
Will be double boxed for shipping and packed very well.

$1,650
$1,600
$1,550
$1,500

    2 different animals but you'd be surprised by the same MF house presentation that 308 offers up. To me, the 308 offers a sweet spot within MF's lineup, price, sound quality, balls, all in one package. Hard to fine integrateds that do every aspect of their intended design well, this is one such example.

    Thanks Tony. It's taken me a long time to get here, and I am happy.

    Except....I got the itch bad and I'm going back to separates. Krell amp should be waiting for me when I get home.

    This is the first piece of gear that allowed me to stop stressing and just enjoy the damn music.

    I can 'testify' for the musicality and value for the MF int amps.

    BUY this! This is a steal!

    After listening to the A308 for many hours I can say I am VERY happy with this unit. Never had a Musical Fidelity component before, and this one is as good as it gets.

    Thank Paul. It was a pleasure to deal with you.
