Who is selling Musical Fidelity Now ?

AA and MF probably couldn't come to terms regarding using multiple dealers / distributors, etc... Even though AA does offer a 30 day trial ( which is EXCELLENT in my book ), they basically sell at or very near list price on most items. Now others will have the same product line AND offer discounts on it. AA probably wouldn't have minded TOO much if it was just a few sparcely located dealers, but i think that MF wants nationwide coverage. Losing the monopoly on a lucrative line like MF will probably hurt AA quite a bit. Could be a good or bad move for MF, but i guess we'll have to wait and see. I know one thing though. I don't expect to see near as many MF reviews or "comments / plugs" in Stereophile now. What will Sam Tellig do ???? Start writing about Roksan gear ??? Sean

Has anyone actually confirmed that AA is not selling MF gear? A visit to their web site shows products for sale and no statement concerning a change in MF line. Also, I thought that AA was a partner with MF in establishing a nationwide distributorship.

As I said in my original message, I spoke to AA and they said they are no longer a dealer.
They are still selling their current stock as an authorized dealer, but nothing new will be coming in.

It is my understanding that Audio Advisor is now acting as the U.S. distributor for MF gear. As such, if they were to continued selling it retail they would be competing with the very dealers that they have signed on to now represent the line. This is actually an expansion of the relationship AA has with MF, and should lead to increased sales for both parties.

It lost my sale!! I had a MF phono stage on order since May at AA. Two weeks ago I called on the order status and was told that they are not handling MF anymore. They did not call me?? I bought another phono stage here on Audiogon.
