Boasting a fully balanced and discrete electrical design behind its imposing façade, this is a must-experience product for any high-end listener.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 is a highly accurate phono stage for both MM and MC cartridge systems. Featuring two balanced XLR and two unbalanced RCA inputs, as well as balanced and unbalanced outputs, it is easy to accommodate into any system. The extensive setting adjustments include options for gain, capacitance, impedance, and equalisation, as well as a two-step subsonic filter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe phono pre-amplification of the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 contains three gain stages powered by Class A discrete transistor circuitry. The decision to utilise a discrete electrical layout, as opposed to a more common layout making use of “Integrated Circuits”, was reached after countless listening tests due to the flexibility of choice separate (i.e. discrete) components afforded.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs well as being fully discrete, the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 is also fully balanced. This is an expensive and complex undertaking, but it works to ensure that the signal integrity is as strong and clear as possible throughout the phono stage, and results in minimal noise and distortion – allowing the music to remain true to the original reproduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe EQ stage is another area that leaves nothing to chance. Completely passive and in two separate stages (split-passive), the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve with little deviation, for better impedance matching. In addition to the standard RIAA curve, Musical Fidelity has also implemented DECCA and COLOMBIA curves, to suit different records or musical tastes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSophisticated Nuvistor tube stage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylish colour display with setting options\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional connection for external Nu-Vista Uni PSU (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlagship model with luxury build-quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass-leading electrical design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNu-Vista Remote Control offers a \"front panel in your hand”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance (MM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInput Impedance (MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5Ω - 47kΩ Selectable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage Gain (MM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 40, 43, 46, 49 (XLR) dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage Equalization Options:\u003c\/strong\u003e RIAA, DECCA, COLUMBIA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage Gain (MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e 60, 63, 66, 69 (XLR) dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValves:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e4 x 7586 Nuvistors\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Input Sensitivity (MM):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e5mV IN for 500mV OUT (at 40dB, 1kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Input Sensitivity (MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e500uV IN for 500mV OUT (at 60dB, 1kHz)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubsonic Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSwitchable Off, Mild (IEC) or Standard (20Hz with 18dB\/octave)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (MM):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e+0.2dB, -0.2dB\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Response (MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e+0.2dB, -0.25dB\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD (MM Input):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.005 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTHD (MC Input):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026lt;0.008 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal To Noise Ratio (MM Input):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;110 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal To Noise Ratio (MC Input):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026gt;98 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverload Margin:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage Capacitance (MM):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSwitchable 50, 100, 200, 300, 350 or 400 pF\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhono Stage Capacitance (MC):\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 pF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRCA Input(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR Input(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed Analogue Output(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x RCA Pair, 1 x XLR Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Power Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W x H x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 483 x 188 x 510 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFurther Information\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nuvista-audio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Nu-Vista-800.2-manual.pdf\" title=\"Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800.2 - User Manual (PDF)\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.henleyaudio.co.uk\/wwwroot\/Media\/downloads\/products\/MFINNUVISTAVINYL2\/MFINNUVISTAVINYL2_Product%20Info%20Sheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 - Product Sheet (PDF)\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNu-Vista Vinyl 2 - Product Sheet (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":57034027860354,"sku":"nu-vista-vinyl-2-black","price":9999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57034027893122,"sku":"nu-vista-vinyl-2-silver","price":9999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0260\/8588\/3938\/files\/musical-fidelity-nuvista-vinyl-2-black.jpg?v=1794573570","url":"https:\/\/studioincar.co.uk\/products\/musical-fidelity-nu-vista-vinyl-2-phono-stage","provider":"Studio Incar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
