Musical Fidelity introduces the second iteration of the ultimate hybrid integrated amplifier: the Nu-Vista 800.2.
Musical Fidelity is proud to announce the revival of the legendary Nu-Vista 800 integrated amplifier with the all-new Nu-Vista 800.2. This remarkable amp represents the epitome of power and finesse integrated into a single chassis, delivering an unparalleled audio experience to music enthusiasts.
Preserving a Timeless Legacy
The original Nu-Vista 800, a highly regarded amplifier since its inception in 2013, achieved its status as the pinnacle of high-end audio performance. However, due to supply shortages of key components, the amplifier was discontinued in 2021. Today, Musical Fidelity breathes new life into this iconic legend, ensuring that the Nu-Vista legacy continues to thrive.

At Musical Fidelity, the pursuit of excellence and passion for superior sound quality are fundamental principles. The Nu-Vista 800.2 exemplifies this philosophy by combining Nuvistor tubes and cutting-edge technology. This seamless blend results in a breathtakingly natural and immersive sound, characterized by smoothness and extraordinary transients. The artist’s presence feels palpable, bringing listeners closer to the music they love.
