REVIEWS:


There is little to criticise and a great deal to praise about these units.   In terms of its hi-fl potential, this is a winning combination without a doubt. - Review in GRAMPHONE, August 1994
 

“Did some listening last night - the sound 'as delivered' (old tubes, RCA single ended connections) is really nice to listen to. A real sense of musical flow, like the music is gliding along on well greased rails.“– Audiophile forumer


“As expected, the valves in there are almost certainly the originals from 20 years+ ago. And as expected they look like the usual 'no-name' dreck these companies use to save a few pennies.  Swapped them out for four pcc88 valves - 2 from Telefunken, 2 from Tessla. Oh my golly gosh - I had liked the pre before, but now the musical textures are more solid; colourful, the soundstage images are so much more 3D and vivid. I'm a bit stunned by the leap in sound quality. It's amazing what a bit of tube rolling can do!”   - DIY Addict




“Surprisingly detailed and fast, especially for the money. Good focus, well defined. A great value though for acoustic music (classical especially).

A very "nice" pre to listen to, lots of well-focused detail.

A really good looking piece of kit as well”
- Reviewer HifiAudiophiler

Perhaps the most important weapon in the arsenal is a black plastic wedge which comes with the F22: a remote control. The F22 is not the first-ever remote control pre-amp, but I can't think of another all-tube (ECC88s) line-level pre-amp with balanced operation, relay switching, bomb-proof construction and infra-red operation which sells for £999. Yes, three -- not four -- nines. And there's no obvious corner cutting, either. The switching feels great, the knobs are beautifully chromed and there are multi-coloured LEDs to indicate states of operation from warm-up to full 'on' to mute. Musical Fidelity fitted top quality sockets at the back, there's an easy-to-access toggle switch to choose between balanced (XLR) and unbalanced operation, the circuit is Class A triode linear cascode with separate regulation for each channel (DC and HT) and the layout is designed for maximum isolation of the various stages. I was told, too, that the F22 should prove immune to external influences and it did prove to be rather unfussy when it came to siting and cable selection. Its 480x335x105mm (WDH) is solid, chunky, serious.
