MUSICAL FIDELITY - A1008 INTEGRATED AMP
Tons of Muscle with Delicacy and Grace - The Musical Fidelity A-1008 Integrated Amp
This incredible integrated amplifier from Musical Fidelity is an absolute workhorse. Sonically, it’s indistinguishable from its bigger (and much more expensive) brother, the kW550. With 200 watts into 8 Ohms and over 400 w/ch into 4 Ohms, this amp can drive any speaker, with ease. The preamp section inside has Musical Fidelity’s famous tube-line stage for superlative warmth and natural musicality.
The A-1008 also has their best built-in DAC circuit with dedicated digital inputs (even a USB for your computer or home network). The 24bit/192k up-sampling DAC will make digital sources come to life; ensuring maximum fidelity. The supplied MM/MC switchable phonostage will work with any analog setup. The external power supply keeps the delicate signal away from magnetic interference, while allowing extraordinary detail retrieval. The A-1008 can easily be the last amplification system you’ll ever need.
