Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the new Nu-Vista CD player. Great attention has been paid to internal layout,
isolating each circuit section to prevent possible interaction. The unit features a finely tuned and tweaked Nu-
Vista valve buffer, for smooth sound coupled with low noise and virtually no distortion.
This unit will give top quality performance when used as:
-
A top quality CD player delivering the best performance possible from CD
-
A top quality DAC (digital to analogue converter) for other sources with digital outputs such as DAB radio,
Media player, TV, etc. delivering the best audio performance using these sources
The resultant performance achieved by this unit is among the best in the world. It has excellent signal to noise
ratio, low distortion, wide bandwidth and dynamic range, with extraordinary resolution and fine detail.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not advised,
as they could damage the surface finish.
Installation
Position the Nu-Vista CD on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected
to vibration such as from loudspeakers.
Important note:
During normal operation, the unit dissipates an appreciable quantity of power at all times, and it is
important that it is well ventilated. The top and bottom are perforated to allow the smooth flow of
heat through the unit. However, the unit must not be enclosed in a cabinet or placed where the
ventilation holes are impeded as this could result in excessive heat build-up.
The Nu-Vista CD must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm
room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.
Power Connections
The Nu-Vista CD is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the
unit (see page 8). When plugged in and mains supply is present the orange STBY LED will light.
Audio Connections
XLR audio outputs: Use good quality XLR balanced audio cables (fully connected signals and ground), for
optimum signal transfer. This gives the best performance from the CD player when used in conjunction with an
amplifier with fully balanced input such as the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800 Integrated.
RCA Nu-Vista buffer outputs: Use good quality RCA phono audio cables (fully connected signal and ground),
for optimum signal transfer.
Digital Connections
RCA S/PDIF inputs: Connect RCA digital sources to RCA digital inputs. Use good quality fully connected (signal
and ground) coaxial digital cables for optimum RCA digital signal transfer.
Optical S/PDIF inputs: Connect optical digital source to optical input. Use good quality "Toslink" cables, for
optimum signal transfer.
RCA S/PDIF output: Connect RCA digital receiver to RCA digital outputs. Use good quality fully connected (signal
and ground) coaxial digital cables for optimum RCA digital signal transfer.
Optical S/PDIF output: Connect optical digital receiver to optical output. Use good quality optical cables, for
optimum signal transfer.
