Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista PRE - Overview

Based on the Nu-Vista 800 circuit, the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista PRE is a fully balanced preamplifier that uses 6S51N nuvistors in a Class A amplifier buffer. This design offers a high-precision and high-quality sound experience.

Technical Construction of the Nu-Vista PRE

The Nu-Vista PRE features a balanced circuit and a precision-balanced volume attenuator, ensuring precise stereo imaging even at low volumes. For greater output power, Class A mini amplifiers equivalent to 50W are used, providing greater dynamics and noise and distortion reduction.

Nu-Vista PRE Power Supply

The Nu-Vista PRE comes with a dedicated external power supply designed to minimize noise. The main unit does not have AC power, which reduces electrical network artifacts in the audio circuit. The power supply includes status LEDs and remote control for convenient operation.

Heroic Build Quality

The construction of the Nu-Vista PRE follows Musical Fidelity's tradition: robust and rigid. The aluminum chassis acts as a Faraday cage, protecting against external and internal electromagnetic interference, ensuring high immunity to vibrations and noise.
