It’s a buyer’s market for this category at this price: US$250 sits below the median US$409 and just above the US$240 25th percentile, so this looks like a solid-to-strong buy rather than a stretch. It’s not a screaming bargain, but it is clearly on the sensible side of fair value for a Musical Fidelity power supply with the leads included.
The appeal here is straightforward: X-series supplies are well liked for cleaning up and stiffening the performance of compatible Musical Fidelity gear, and the extra power leads add real value because they’re often missing. “Excellent condition” is a good sign if it’s accurate, and this is the kind of accessory box that can make a meaningful difference in a system without taking up much room. If it’s the right match for your X-component, this is the sort of tidy used buy that tends to hold its value well.
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.
