It is silky smooth with enormous transients and an effortless feel that is at once relaxing and involving. Of special note is how the Nu-Vista 800.2 projects images between the loudspeakers so that you can almost touch them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista 800.2 builds on the respected 800, with a reworked transformer and power supply, new display, and remote. The 800.2 keeps the mighty dynamic ability of the 800 with the same design that mounts a large capacitor near each output transistor to allow for more immediate access to stored energy, with much lower impedance. This results in better transient response and provides improved ripple filtering at higher currents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main supply capacitors are situated right on the rectifiers also decreasing supply impedance and keeping rectification noise and hum away from the high-gain PA circuit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHeroic Build Quality\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Nu-Vista 800.2‘s mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. The massive front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminum profiles. The Nu-Vista 800.2 is basically immune to environmental vibration as well as electromagnetic interference. The massive\u003cbr\u003ealuminum case also shields the rest of your components from the electromagnetic fields generated by the Nu-Vista 800.2.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNuvistor Tubes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNuvistor tubes were invented in the 1950s to solve the many shortcomings of conventional tubes. Nuvistors offer very high reliability, low microphony, low noise,  great consistency from batch to batch, small size, relatively low power consumption, and excellent technical performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne famous application was in the Ampex MR-70, a costly studio tape recorder whose entire electronics section was based on Nuvistors. Another limited application of this very small tube was in studio-grade microphones from that era. The AKG\/Norelco C12a, which employed the 7586, is a good example.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was also later found in the famed Neumann U 47 studio microphone. This microphone was highly regarded by artists all over the world and was used by many top recording artists such as Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as uses for Nuvistor tubes were being explored, the transistor was invented and it was “game over” for Nuvistors. There the matter rested until Musical Fidelity created the first of its ground-breaking Nu-Vista series. These legendary, limited-edition products sold out in a matter of months. Today, they command very high secondhand prices because of their beautiful sound, build quality, and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA work of audio art using incredible Nu-Vista circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced XLR inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed line and variable pre outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome theatre bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e300 W\/pc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal stability margin, will drive any loudspeaker with ease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting-edge technical performance with the magic of Nu-Vistors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual mono power amps with separate preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperb design, heroic build quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely flat frequency response, low noise and distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePower (8, 4, 2 ohm):\u003c\/b\u003e 330 W, 500 W, 1,000 W peaks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/b\u003e 52 V RMS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCurrent:\u003c\/b\u003e 120 A peak to peak\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamping Factor:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutput Devices:\u003c\/b\u003e 5 pairs per channel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInput Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 40 k ohms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 4 x stereo RCA line, 1 x stereo balanced XLR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/b\u003e 1 x stereo RCA line, Preamp, 4 mm speaker banana\/binding post\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConsumption (Standby, Idle, Max.):\u003c\/b\u003e \u0026lt;0.5 W, 130 W, 900 W\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (WHD):\u003c\/b\u003e 19.02\" x 7.36\" x 20.08\" (483 x 187 x 510 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 90.39 lb.
