The old input switching IC has been changed to relays for better separation and dynamics and only highest quality polypropylene capacitors are used throughout the signal path. A much requested, more significant change is that the 600.2 now also uses our laser trimmed volume control for +\/- 0.5dB gain error even at lower levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power amp, preamp and nuvistor stage layout has been significantly revised and improved. Preamp circuits have been removed from the back panel PCB and are now built on a self-screening tray at the top of the unit for less noise and distortion, protected from noisy PA and heavy current power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista stage – now the same as in our PRE\/PAS\/PAM – features 6S51N nuvistors in a discrete class A amplifier buffer and is also located on the new top layer PCB. The preamplifier, nuvistor and input circuits are now fully dual mono with separate left\/right power supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContinuing our pursuit for clean and proper power solutions – as we have recently shown with our new Balanced Power Conditioner range and the separate power supply units of the Nu-Vista PRE\/PAS\/PAM – the Nu-Vista 600.2 now features “NO SWITCH-MODE PSU AT ALL” during operation. A SMPSU is only used in standby mode and for the amplifier this ensures best supply noise performance. Improved digital supplies contribute to better supply rail noise figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new layout comes with big performance gains and saves a lot of space. We can now support two balanced XLR inputs to cater for both Nu-Vista Vinyl and DAC. A balanced XLR preamp output has also been added and all line outputs are now separately buffered, resulting in no interference between devices connected to any of the preamp outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe TITAN heritage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertainly, one of the biggest changes is that we have now fully incorporated our famed TITAN design in the Nu-Vista 600.2, bringing it up-to-par with its bigger 800.2 sibling and the esteemed PRE\/PAS\/PAM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiving each output device (transistor) a corresponding high current bulk supply capacitor allows more immediate access to stored energy, with much lower impedance path to flow through. This results in better transient response and coincidently provides a degree of improved ripple filtering at higher currents in conjunction with the supply capacitors situated elsewhere. The main supply capacitors are situated right on the rectifiers, also decreasing supply impedance and helping to keep rectification and hum noise away from the high gain PA circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 600.2 PCB layout has been optimized for lower power, roughly half that of the 800.2, now featuring a sleeker, more refined and subtle “V4” look – with 4 output transistors per channel. The 800.2 features a much bulkier design with 10 output transistors per channel, giving it similar appearance to a “V10” engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista 600.2‘s mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles and are extremely massive. The Nu-Vista 600.2 is basically immune against the effects of vibration from the environment. The same can be said about electro magnetic immunity. The massive aluminium case acts as a Faraday cage. It protects the internals against outer electromagnetic fields, and in the same way, the rest of your HiFi gear against electromagnetic fields generated by the Nu-Vista 600.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new Nu-Vista 600.2 is a continued labour of love for Musical Fidelity. Our passion for Nuvistor tubes didn‘t stop. Everyone at Musical Fidelity hopes that you derive as much pleasure listening to the Nu-Vista 600.2 as we had creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNU-VISTA by Musical Fidelity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntony Michaelson, the founder of Musical Fidelity and professional musician, always dreamt of making an audio system that sounds like tube and class A amps. Warm and musical, but it also allows the real-life dynamic reproduction of music, especially of big orchestras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NU-VISTA by Musical Fidelity range is a magic combo of power and finesse. It represents all of Musical Fidelity‘s technology in making the best, sweetest-sounding amps in the world in a cost-no-object, no-compromise solution. The Nu-Vista 600.2 represents the very best in today‘s amplification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we know power is not everything. There is a place for high and lower powered amps, it all depends on the context: the room, the speakers, the source material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith correct circuit board design and careful layout, just like the 800.2, the Nu-Vista 600.2’s technical performances are astonishing. They measure and sound like a dream. The 600.2 feels calm and smooth, and never loses control of its striking dynamic range and a natural, effortless transient response. It projects lifelike images between the speakers, recreating the tangible and captivating presence of bombastic live music, big orchestras and smaller, intimate jazz performances alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA work of audio art using our incredible Nu-Vista circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Redesigned front panel with new display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW 2x XLR inputs, 1x XLR pre-output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Nu-Vista buffer stage - same as on 800.2 - taken from PRE\/PAS\/PAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Power amp based on same circuitry design as in PAS\/PAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Power Amplifiers bulk supply capacitance and local output device decoupling now separated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW 300W\/4 ohms, 160W\/8 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Preamplifier circuits and inputs now fully dual mono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Laser trimmed volume control +\/- 0.5dB gain error even at lower levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Input switching IC changed for relays for better separation and dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Dual mono power supplies improved for better performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW Bulk capacitance and rectifiers on separate PCB for reduced noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x balanced XLR inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4x RCA inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x RCA outputs (fixed \u0026amp; variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x balanced XLR output (variable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour display with optional VU-Meters and clear selected input and volume display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimmable display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNu-Vista Remote Control “Front panel in your hand”\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 160W into 8 ohms, 300W into 4 ohms, 500W peaks into 2 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 36 Volts RMS, 20Hz to 20 kHz; onset of clipping, 147 Volts peak to peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent: 50 Amps peak to peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamping factor: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput devices: 2 pairs per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain: Preamp 4.3x (12.6dB) at maximum volume, Power Amp 34x (31dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine input\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD+N: \u0026lt; 0.005 % typical, 20Hz to 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSNR: \u0026gt; 107dB ‘A’-weighted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInput impedance: 100 k Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: + 0, –0.1dB, 10Hz to 30 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine level inputs: 4 pairs line level RCA connectors; 2 pairs line level balanced XLR connectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine level outputs: 1 pair line level RCA connectors, constant level LINE outputs; 1 pair line level RCA connectors, PREAMP outputs for e.g. biamping; 1 pair line level XLR connectors, PREAMP outputs for e.g. biamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs: 2 pairs 4mm banana plug\/binding posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower requirement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains voltages: 115\/230VAC 50\/60Hz (factory pre-set); 100VAC 50\/60Hz (alternative)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsumption: \u0026lt;0.5W in standby mode (orange LED lit); 75W on and idle (blue LED lit); 600 Watts maximum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 483 x 187 x 510 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 36 kg net \/ 44.3 kg boxed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":48270645559519,"sku":"NUVISTA6002B","price":12999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":48270645592287,"sku":"NUVISTA6002S","price":12999.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4677\/2191\/files\/NUVISTA6002B_3.jpg?v=1766436991","url":"https:\/\/www.gentec-intl.com\/fr\/products\/musical-fidelity-nuvista-6002-intergrated-amplifier","provider":"Gentec Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
