The Nu-Vista 800.2 has received a new modernised front plate and a completely new display.
It's in line with our new range of Nu-Vista products. We soon realised we would have to update
the power supply circuits and control and electronic on/off control circuitry to adapt for the
new display. Happily, this meant we could also add in the missing remote on/standby function
as well.
And while we were already at it, we had our transformers rewound, for lower standing flux, so
they are less sensitive to mains DC offset noise. This means a slightly larger (and heavier) transformer which, thankfully, still fits the same casework.
The upshot is we have now a new hybrid integrated, the Nu-Vista 800.2, that will visually fit into
the new range of Nu-Vista products, while keeping the audio parameters of the original untouched, while even improving them in certain areas.
The Nu-Vista 800.2'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 800.2 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 800.2.
The new Nu-Vista 800.2 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 800.2 as we had creating it.
