General Information
It is not often that new milestones in audio are set: The Nova is one of those rare products that fit well into this elite category of firsts.
Nova is the answer if youre looking to improve computer-based streaming audio to a "high-end" performance level; or if you just need a new millennium integrated amplifier. The Nova is a world class 80wpc integrated amplifier with enough digital and analog inputs and outputs to satisfy all the new digital devices, plus, it can handle a few of the old dogs like turntables (w/external phono preamp), tuners, etc.. It performs much like a high-end integrated amplifier because thats what it is.
Whether its digital or analog, the Nova will make it sound great! Along with its little brother, the Decco, theyre truly the most versatile integrated amplifiers on the market and engineered for the way you listen today.
Now all the time, effort, and money youve spent ripping CDs and downloading music is rewarded with truly incredible sound. Even compressed MP3 files sound almost indistinguishable from the original CD when played through the Nova or Decco. So if you like to rip or download...go for it. Well make it sound great.
The Pre-Amp
The pre-amp section employs a 6922 tube with a Class A output stage. This maintains a high level of detail while taming harsh compressed digital music. We couple that with an A/B amplifier in the final stage to achieve a very analog sounding product. The Nova has a USB input for your computer in addition to 2 coax, and 2 optical inputs for other digital sources like Squeezebox®, Apple TV®, Wadia iTransport®, Airport®, Sonos®, and XM or Sirius® tuners. It also has 3 analog inputs for docking stations, CD players, tape decks or phono preamps. If you want to add a subwoofer or outboard amplifier, the Nova features a "Class A" variable preamp-output and a fixed line output. Nova covers all the bases like no other product before it.
