{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-a1-integrated-amplifier-mm-mc-phono-7","title":"Musical Fidelity A1 Integrated Amplifier; MM\/MC Phono","description":"The Musical Fidelity A1 solid-state integrated amplifier delivers 25 watts per channel into 8 ohms with a peak output current of 25 amperes and incorporates a discrete MM\/MC phono stage. Designed to anchor dedicated two-channel systems, this high-bias design operates in pure Class A through a discrete, fully symmetrical circuit topology. A heavy aluminum top plate functions entirely as an expansive heatsink to dissipate thermal energy, while an upgraded toroidal transformer supplies independent power rails for each channel. It also introduces a direct switch to bypass the preamplifier gain block for cleaner signal transfer alongside a motorized ALPS volume potentiometer.\n\nGarnering an EISA Award alongside an Outstanding Product honor from Hi-Fi News, the amplifier captures widespread praise across premier audio publications. Critics at Stereophile celebrate its organic flow, seductive midrange richness, and holographic soundstage that rivals the harmonic warmth of fine vacuum tubes. Reviewers emphasize that while the chassis runs notably warm, its effortless musical drive and dynamic composure deliver an engaging, fatigue-free presentation.\n\nChoosing this amplifier is an investment in tonal richness and acoustic intimacy over sterile brute force. Its refined analog architecture uncovers delicate textures within every recording, allowing instruments to breathe with lifelike presence. For the listener seeking timeless character, it delivers a deeply rewarding listening experience.","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67897159057689,"sku":"101715","price":1249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/101715-6.jpg?v=1792708474","url":"https:\/\/tmraudio.com\/products\/musical-fidelity-a1-integrated-amplifier-mm-mc-phono-7","provider":"The Music Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
