Musical Fidelity A3 or Pass Labs Aleph 30

I traded an a3cr power amp in for a much superior listening experience with aleph 30, 50 -75% more detail, texture and no edge at all. Engaging throughout any music signal. The a3cr was quite, great slam but 90% of the time too laid back and distorting the signal with a/b operation which caused me a lot of restlessness waitng for the dynamics only as relief. Class a aleph oozes all the music out with untouchable finesse in all critical areas of playback which equals long listening sessions and funds well spent!

WHEN SAM TELLIG REVIEWED THE CELIUS SPEAKER, HE SAID HE TRIED THE MUSICAL FIDELITY AMP BUT DID NOT REPORT HIS CONCLUSIONS ALTHOUGH HIS OTHER AMP ATTEMPTS WERE.
I USED TWO ALEPH 30'S, ONE FOR EACH SPEAKER WHEN I HAD THE TRIANGLES. TOP TO BOTTOM THE SOUND WAS VERY GOOD. THE ALEPH 30 IS VERY GOOD W/SOUND PURITY (TONAL SHADINGS, ETC) BUT FRONT TO BACK DEPTH IS STILL SOLID STATE. NO PROBLEMS W/BASS CONTROL. TREBLE IS OPEN & DETAILED, W/O GRAIN. OF COURSE THEY SHINE ON MIDRANGE.
I SOLD THE CELIUS BECAUSE OF CONGESTION & HARDNESS @ HIGHER SPL'S. I AM NOW USING THE SHAMROCK EIRES. THE SHAMROCK SENSITIVITY IS DOWN 7-8 DB vs THE CELIUS, SO I AM USING THE BEDINI CLASSIC 100'S. ALL IS NOW GOOD.
NEW, ONLY A/V LOGIC HAS THE ALEPH 30. THE MUSICAL FIDELITY AMP MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE 308 SERIES. GALEN CAROL SOLD BOTH & SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE MORE INSIGHT.
SADLY, I PLAN TO SELL BOTH MY ALEPH 30'S (PASS WILL NOT CHANGE MY AMPS TO THE MONO 60'S).
HOPE THIS HELPS,
DAVE
