The Musical Fidelity V90-LPS is a modestly priced, very high performance phono stage designed to provide an ideal interface between high-performance turntables and Hi-Fi amplifiers. It features separate Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) inputs, each optimized for their cartridge type, delivering a clean, transparent, and realistic audio performance. The V90-LPS excels in five critical areas: accurate RIAA correction extending beyond 80 kHz to prevent ringing and overshoot, very low distortion (0.01% at 1kHz), extremely low noise (virtually inaudible), excellent overload margin suitable for any current cartridge, and excellent channel separation. Its build quality is considered and attractive, housed in a sleek case. This phono stage offers superb technical performance typically found in much more expensive products, making it an outstanding value for vinyl enthusiasts.
