Musical Surroundings Nova III Black

The third generation of the multi-award winning (The Absolute Sound 2013 Product Of The Year Award & 2013-2018 Editors' Choice Award Winner!) Nova Phono Stage!
Celebrating 20 years of phono stages, Musical Surrounding's 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 Musical Surroundings Nova III is an amazing phono stage with incredible flexibility and performance. The Nova III replaces the popular and multi-award winning (The Absolute Sound 2013 Product Of The Year Award & 2013-2018 Editors' Choice Award Winner!) Nova II. The Nova III phono preamplifier, sharing improved chassis design of the 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.
