Buying notes
20-watt Class A Musical Fidelity integrated; the original design that launched the brand's reputation. Runs very hot in Class A; check the chassis for signs of thermal damage and verify the output stage is healthy. Recap $200-300. Multiple revisions exist; later A1s have detail differences.
