Musical Fidelity has announced the UK arrival of its latest integrated stereo amplifier. First exhibited at last year's High-End Munich showcase, the Nu-Vista 600.2 is a more affordable alternative to the high-end Nu-Vista 800.2 model, although "affordable" is a relative term here. If you consider its £7999 asking price to be little more than spare change, you've done pretty well in life.
Flippancy aside, the 600.2 model aims to offer reference-class sound quality in a slightly less bank-busting package, with the amp enjoying significant upgrades from the company's outgoing Nu-Vista 600 amplifier. A Class A tube amplifier which uses four nuvistor valves, the new model strives for a "sweet sound" with "huge power and transparency", packing in four output transistors per channel and delivering 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms
