Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl 2 Phono Stage

Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl 2 Phono Stage

The Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl Phono Stage is a versatile audio component designed to enhance the vinyl listening experience with its well-engineered features. The device offers a range of gain options at its XLR outputs, providing users with settings of 40dB, 43dB, 46dB, and 49dB. This flexibility allows for precise adjustment based on the specific characteristics of different vinyl recordings. The frequency response is finely tuned, maintaining a balance with a deviation of +0.2dB to -0.2dB, ensuring an accurate and faithful reproduction of the original audio.

In terms of input sensitivity, the Nu Vista Vinyl Phono Stage exhibits efficiency with a requirement of 5mV IN for 500mV OUT at 40dB and 1kHz. The input impedance is set at 47kohm, and users can tailor the input capacitance between 50-400pF, providing further customization to accommodate various cartridges. The Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) at 1kHz is impressively low, measuring less than 0.005%, contributing to the device's commitment to accurate signal reproduction.

The vinyl phono stage also includes a set of features aimed at refining the audio output. Users can choose from EQ curves such as RIAA, DECCA, and COLUMBIA, allowing them to adapt the sound to their preference. Additionally, the inclusion of subsonic filters with options for off, mild (IEC), and standard (at 20Hz with 18dB/octave) further enhances the flexibility of the device.

The In & Outputs of the Nu Vista Vinyl Phono Stage showcase thoughtful connectivity options, with 2x RCA and 2x XLR inputs. The device offers both unbalanced and balanced outputs – 1x RCA output for unbalanced left and right signals at 500mV nominal, with a maximum of 10V. The 1x XLR output provides balanced left and right signals at 1V nominal, with a maximum of 20V, ensuring compatibility with a variety of audio systems.

Power requirements are addressed with precision, accommodating different mains voltages and demonstrating efficiency with a maximum consumption of 40 Watts and less than 0.5 Watts in standby mode, indicated by an orange LED. General information includes the dimensions of the device (WxHxD: 483 x 188 x 510 mm), and optional power connections for the Nu-Vista UniPSU are available for those seeking additional power supply enhancements. The device weighs 22 kg net and 30 kg in its shipping box, reflecting its robust build and quality components.
