About the A3CR

The Musical Fidelity A3CR is a dual mono preamplifier designed for high fidelity audio systems. It features a remote control and multiple inputs including phono (MM and MC switchable), CD, SACD, tuner, tape, and auxiliary. The unit is known for its heavy, well-constructed chassis with a thick brushed aluminum front plate accented with gold. It offers a very quiet background, outstanding soundstage, and imaging that immerses the listener. The sound is slightly warm with deep, controlled bass, tubelike midrange, and crisp, grainless highs. The preamplifier uses dual choke regulated independent power supplies for each channel, contributing to its low noise and high performance. It has a single set of preamp outputs and includes a remote control handset and IEC power lead. The A3CR has been replaced by the A3.2CR model but remains highly regarded for its build quality and sound performance.
