Angeboten wird „A 308CD“ von Musical Fidelity als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 8133119501 endet am 06.09.2026 um 06:23 Uhr.
At €990, this sits a bit under the usual used asking band for a Musical Fidelity A308 CD player, which tends to land around roughly €1,000–€1,300 depending on condition and provenance. That makes this look like a fair-to-good buy rather than a stretch, especially if the unit is clean, fully working, and includes the remote and original box.
The A308 is a substantial, well-regarded player with the sort of smooth, weighty, high-current presentation Musical Fidelity was known for in that era, and it still has real appeal for a system that values scale and solidity over glare. If the cosmetics are good and transport function is confirmed, the upside here is a serious late-’90s/early-2000s flagship-style CD player at sensible money.
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.
