Musical Surroundings Nova III Dual-Mono Phono Preamplifier (Black)

Description

Celebrating 20 years of phono stages, our third generation
Michael Yee design combines discrete dual-mono topology, a new internal power
supply, and optional external Linear Power Supply. 

Built in California, the new Nova III is our new phono stage
with incredible flexibility and performance. The Nova III replaces the popular
Nova II. Our Nova III  phono preamplifier, sharing improved chassis design
of our MYDAC II, features dual-mono, discrete circuitry with extensive gain and
loading flexibility, delivering the best sound in its price range. Like the
Phonomena II+ and SuperNova III, the Nova III has rear panel switches for
easily accessible and highly flexible gain and loading adjustment. 

The Musical Surroundings Nova III is a complete phonograph
preamplifier with RIAA equalization that amplifies the output signal of a phono
cartridge, either moving coil or moving magnet, up to a nominal “line level”.
The Nova III may be used with a receiver or an integrated amplifier. If you use
separate components, a line level control unit (preamp) is required before the
power amp, since there is no independent volume control for the Nova III. The
Nova III’s power supply is internal and connects to the wall with the supplied
wall mount transformer.
