Musical Fidelity V90 LPS

Description

The V90-LPS is an affordably priced, high-performance MM/MC phono stage that offers outstanding technical capabilities.

In our view, there are five critical areas where a phono stage must excel:

1. RIAA correction
2. Correction above 20 kHz
3. Low distortion
4. Low noise
5. Adequate overload margin

The V90-LPS provides extremely precise RIAA correction, extending well beyond 80 kHz. This may seem extreme, but there is a substantial amount of information above 20 kHz that requires correction. Failure to correct it would result in ringing and overshoot.

The V90-LPS boasts very low distortion and an exceptionally low noise ratio, making it practically inaudible.

Its overload margin is more than sufficient for any currently available cartridge.

All in all, the V90-LPS delivers everything necessary for a phono stage.

While there are many more expensive phono stages that make extravagant claims about their performance, the unassuming V90-LPS simply focuses on delivering everything you would reasonably expect from a phono stage.

If you seek top-notch performance and are unconcerned about the purported prestige of purchasing a high-priced product that offers no better performance than the V90-LPS, then we share the same perspective.
