Description

A maudifi Stage 1 upgrade service for Musical Fidelity’s A5cr power amplifer.  This powerhouse of an amplifier is from what many believe was Musical Fidelity’s peak era.  They are rugged and rewarding, yet there is plenty of untapped potential within.  Think wider and deeper soundstage with greater detail and refinement with this maudifi upgrade.

The Stage 1 is  a full electrolytic ‘re-cap’, with much higher quality capacitors than those used in the original unit, but with other carefully chosen component improvements too to elevate the performance and produce a more 3-dimensional soundstage.
