Ordered via their website simply enough, emailed NVA to ask if needed configuration for my cart, no it didn’t. excellent. Both boxes come in good sturdy boxes, and the internal packaging is very good. You get the nice pair of cotton gloves as well, those who have shiny things typically like to keep them that way. Simple enough to set up, keep the Stage away from arm and your WIFI, Bluetooth devices etc. So, on goes an electronic piece of vinyl from Future Beats Alliance (this has many stringed harmonies, deep bass and some tunes have that nice punchy crisp electro rhythm to them. Set at point 1 on my P50sa pre-amp, it was an immediate improvement over the GSP Reflex M with PSU1 I’ve been using for the last 12 months, not that the Slee isn’t and excellent MM stage, it is….something has been added with the NVA Phono 2 – more music, that’s what has been added. I don’t really want to use Marketing blah blah blah, nor would I class myself as even an Audiophile, but I do love music and most of all that “can’t put my finger on it” moment…. the bass is tighter, wider, fuller…. I can pick out Bert Jansch individual twangs of his cat gut strings. Previous reviews have reported a hum, I do not experience any of this, however I’ve positioned as per the guidance that comes with the units. I’m looking forward to playing a lot more of my collection, I am very satisfied not only with the units, but each experience with NVA in the terms of straight forward no fuss customer service.

Now what can I say about the quality of sound, well, if I close my eyes it feels like I’m in the same room as Jeremy Tuplin and band (oh, how I’m missing live gigs). My Vinyl was sounding very good with my fairly new Pro-ject Classic turntable going through my fairly old NVA AP30. Then a horrible sound started coming out of the speakers, every time I turned the amp to phono. So the amp was sent to NVA, in the hope it could be repaired. To cut a longer story, the phono part of the amp was too old to be repaired, so now I have 2 extra boxes attached my AP30 - phono2 plus PSU, and the difference in the sound quality is absolutely stunning
