Musical Surroundings NOVA II MM/MC Phono Preamp

 Built in California, the Nova II is a battery powered phono stage with incredible flexibility and performance. Based on the discrete, dual mono circuit developed by designer Michael Yee for the SuperNova, the Nova has rear panel accessible switches for gain and loading. It features 2 rechargeable internal NiMH dual mono battery packs with Smart Sensing auto recharge feature. All AC and charging circuits automatically disconnect when listening in battery mode. The Nova features a cool proximity detection switch on the front panel with status LEDs for changing mode. 

It is in perfect condition minus a tiny blemish on the upper front face, which honestly looks worse in photos than in person.  I have all original packaging and charger.  I would estimate that I only put about 100-125 hours of use on it, and it has been stored in its box for the past 2+ years.  

“So just in case I’ve not made myself clear: The already superb performance of the Nova II’s predecessor has been made even better in the new model, which means that a super value is now a superduper one. I cannot recommend it enthusiastically enough.”  -Paul Seydor, the absolute sound
