Introducing the Nu-Vista Vinyl S: Compact High-End Analogue Performance
Henley Audio are delighted to announce the launch of the highly anticipated Nu-Vista Vinyl S from Musical Fidelity. This new phono stage brings the luxurious sound of nuvistor tube technology to a more accessible price point, all within a compact, beautifully engineered chassis. Designed for discerning vinyl enthusiasts, the Nu-Vista Vinyl S delivers uncompromising performance in a space-saving form.
A Legacy of Award-Winning Amplification
The Nu-Vista Vinyl S follows in the footsteps of Musical Fidelity’s acclaimed integrated amplifiers, the Nu-Vista 800.2 and 600.2, which have received the highest accolades from audiophile consumers, dealers, and reviewers around the world. These reference-level amplifiers were designed with a purist approach - deliberately omitting both phono stages and DACs to deliver a truly analogue experience.
The Need for a Perfect Match
In 2023, Musical Fidelity introduced the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 - a reference-grade phono stage ideal for use with the Nu-Vista PRE, PAS, and PAM separates. However, its size and price made it less suitable for pairing with the 800.2 and 600.2 integrated amps. Recognising this, Musical Fidelity set out to create a more compact and affordable alternative that would still deliver exceptional performance.
Designed to Complement the Nu-Vista 800.2 and 600.2
Now, almost exactly two years later, the Nu-Vista Vinyl S arrives as the perfect companion to the Nu-Vista 800.2 and 600.2. It offers a similar sonic signature to the Vinyl 2, but in a more compact and cost-effective form. By using more economical cabinet designs - without compromising on component quality - Musical Fidelity has created a phono stage that is both accessible and audiophile-approved.
Refined Design, Compact Footprint
Musical Fidelity have reimagined their iconic phono stage with the Nu-Vista Vinyl S, introducing a slimmer “S” chassis that cuts the mechanical footprint nearly in half. Despite its compact size, it retains the fully balanced, discrete Class A circuitry that made the Nu-Vista Vinyl 2 a reference-grade performer.
Experience the Nu-Vista Vinyl S
The Nu-Vista Vinyl S is a celebration of Musical Fidelity’s commitment to analogue excellence. With its compact design, versatile cartridge compatibility, and audiophile-grade performance, it’s the perfect addition to any high-end vinyl setup.
