Musical Fidelity NuVista 600.2 Amplifier - Silver
Hybrid Integrated Amplifier
Exceptional Analog Amplifier with Nuvistor Technology
Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 600.2 is a powerful integrated amplifier that combines the legendary Nu-Vista technology with an advanced design inspired by the flagship Nu-Vista 800.2. It delivers impressive power, precise soundstage, and exceptional transparency.
With its Nuvistor tube Class A buffer section, dual-mono architecture, and redesigned electronics, the amplifier provides an analog performance with minimal noise and distortion, delivering a natural, warm, and detailed sound.
Redesigned Electronic Architecture
The Nu-Vista 600.2 inherits electronic architecture from the PRE/PAS/PAM series, ensuring an improved power supply section for reduced noise and optimized stability, separate power supplies for the preamplifier and power amplifier for cleaner audio performance, and a switched-mode power supply (SMPSU), where all power supplies are linear for minimal interference.
TITAN Technology Heritage
One of the most significant upgrades in the Nu-Vista 600.2 is the implementation of TITAN technology, featuring locally separated capacitors for faster transient response, optimized capacitor placement for lower noise, and a more compact but powerful PCB layout with 4 output transistors per channel.
Mechanical Construction and Electromagnetic Shielding
- Extruded Aluminum Chassis: Reduces mechanical vibrations and improves thermal stability.
- Electromagnetic Shielding: Acts as a Faraday cage, protecting signal circuits.
- Isolated Preamplifier Circuits: Reduces interference from the power amplifier.
Nu-Vista Technology
The Nu-Vista series from Musical Fidelity is designed for audiophiles seeking the perfect balance between power and precision. With its Nuvistor tubes and Class A preamplifier stage, the 600.2 delivers an immersive soundstage, realistic details, and unmatched dynamics.
