Instructions for use
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800 integrated amplifier.
The Nu-Vista 800 uses our tried and tested ultra-low distortion power amplifier circuitry, which has enough current
reserve to drive even the most demanding speakers with ease. The low noise and distortion, high-quality Nu-Vista
preamplifier uses valve* circuits used in our original Nu-Vista products, redesigned, to fulfil our latest practices
and expectations. This completes the integrated amplifier giving a perfect sound from a great looking full size unit.
The Nu-Vista 800 will aesthetically match with present and future Nu-Vista series products. Such a combination
will yield one of the best high-fidelity systems available at any price.
Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish.
If there are any questions about the audio system, please consult the dealer, who is there to help and advise.
