Musical Fidelity A3 Tuner FM Tuner Immaculate A3 Tuner with remote and factory box, you won’t find one in this condition. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Cash / PayPal Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By ricky65 0 Comments AUD $225 Date: April 18, 20251 yr
A$225 is a fair-to-good ask for this tuner, but without solid used-market comps for this exact model in AUD I’d treat it as comfortably buyable rather than a slam-dunk bargain. For a well-kept Musical Fidelity piece in like new condition, the price sits in the range where condition and completeness matter more than chasing a few dollars either way.
What makes it worthwhile is the usual Musical Fidelity appeal: solid build, straightforward usability, and the kind of no-drama FM performance that still satisfies if you actually use terrestrial radio. A clean, original-looking unit with the remote, box, and working display would strengthen the buy; if those are missing, I’d only push back if you’re paying a premium.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Musical Fidelity, a British hi-fi icon, traces its roots to 1982 when clarinettist and audio enthusiast Antony Michaelson founded the company in London. Disillusioned with the sound quality of existing gear after his stint at predecessor Michaelson & Austin, he handcrafted his debut product—a minimalist preamplifier dubbed "The Preamp"—on his kitchen table. Paired with the quirky Dr. Thomas power amplifier, these designs disrupted the market with their bold aesthetics and sonic punch, establishing Michaelson’s experimental ethos from the outset.
The brand has long centered on amplifiers as its cornerstone, spanning integrated, power, phono, headphone, and preamp models renowned for Class-AB topology and innovative touches like Nuvistor tubes. It expanded into streaming players, DACs, CD players, Bluetooth receivers, all-in-one systems, and even headphones and turntables, always prioritizing musicality over convention. Unconventional industrial designs, from curved heatsinks to sculptural panels, became signatures, influencing competitors.
Positioned firmly in the high-end arena, Musical Fidelity commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its value-driven performance and soulful sound. Iconic models like the A1 and F-series endure as collector favorites, blending accessibility with premium engineering. Acquired by Austria’s Audio Tuning in 2018, it continues evolving under new stewardship while honoring its heritage as a boutique force in British hi-fi.
