The NVO SPECIAL EDITION SPA One and SPA-II/2 have been released and now available in small quantities. Both models make use of very high quality parts : Japanese KIWAME resistors matched to 0.1% tolerances, Mundorf MKP capacitors, Nichicon EL capacitors, 7N solid core internal wiring,gold plated tube bases.
Enclosures have been improved using 10mm aluminium front plates now on all units including the SPA One and the power supply of the SPA-II/2.
Enclosure panels are internally damped with sound absorbing panels , and PCB’s are isolated from the main chassis via shock absorbing flexible isolators minimizing any microphony possibility.
Some circuit and star ground upgrades have been made on both units, resulting in extremely low noise,more linear and wide frequency respomse and increased dynamic range.
The top of the line SPA-II/2 SE now has inputs for two turntables,selectable for either MM or MC cartridges.Inputs can be fully and accurately adjusted for any MM or MC cartridge ( low or high outout ).
Both units sound better than ever and they take the analog experience one step further.
