Brand history<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Musical Fidelity was founded in the early 1980s and introduced its first product, the preamplifier, in 1982. In 1984, they launched the A1 integrated amplifier, which received high praise in the audio industry. Over the years, they released several important products, such as the Digilog, the first high-end DAC in 1987, and the now-iconic Nu-Vista preamplifier in 1997. Their products are known for using both modern technologies and traditional designs, such as the combination of tubes and transistors in certain devices. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
