Musical Fidelity V90-LPS phono preamplifier

The Musical Fidelity V90-LPS phono preamplifier has now been released, replacing the famous X VLP-S II. Not much of the earlier version has remained, and it is clear that the designers of Musical Fidelity have completely reshaped the product to increase performance and user-friendliness.

Musical Fidelity V90-LPS: box

Both the front panel and box itself are made of aluminium. The internal architecture is dual mono, and the MM and MC sections are completely separate.

Its RIAA circuit structure and all of its components have been carefully chosen to optimise neutrality.

An external box supplies it with 16V/500 mA power.

The load features make it compatible with many different entry-level and mid-range MM and MC cartridges. 

Musical Fidelity V90-LPS: listening and review

Playback is precise and transparent, without a hint of harshness.

The V90-LPS knows how to create a neutral, authentic sound. The dynamic range is excellent and is spread evenly across the entire spectrum.

The sound reproduction is vibrant with an excellent sense of rhythm, no matter the genre of music played.

This Musical Fidelity V90-LPs phono preamp is streets ahead of the competition in this price range.

It is an all-round success that is perfect for music fans with exacting standards but low budgets! Highly recommended.
