Title: I think I might have saved $1000 by going for V90-LPS. A great phono preamp at bargin price!
Review: I first ordered this from Amazon vendor “Express Music Instruments”. My order never came (horrible shipping service by this vendor). After lengthy phone conversation with Amazon customer service I got refund. A few days later I saw my local Hi-Fi store offering the same product for even better price (and no shipping) so I bought it from them.Initial buying experience aside, my review is on this phono preamp. Simply put, it’s a match made in heaven between my Pro-ject RPM1 Carbon (with Nagaoka MP200 cartridge )and Musical Fidelity A3 integrated amplifier. The first thing I notice is wonderful 3D sound stage, more weighted mid and lower frequency, AND that sweet height coming out of my B&W CDM 1NT speaker. Compare to the previous phono preamp (ART DJ Pre II), V90-LPS simply sound more analog, silky smooth, more dimensional. I can’t wait to hear once I have the upgraded power supply.

Title: Amazing detail, huge sound stage, great price!
Review: I bought this to see if there would be an improvement over the phono stage in an Adcom GTP-400…..night And day. Wider sound stage, deeper bass, more details than before. I ended up with. GFP-565, this has one of the best rated built in phono stages anywhere near it’s price range. While still a significant improvement over the GTP-400, the 565 is still not as good as the V90-lps. I couldn’t be happier with the performance, and price. I know there are better phono stages out there, but they are out of my price range. I highly recommend this unit, it will make you fall in love with your record collection all over again.

Title: Shame the price went to the moon on these
Review: This was a no-brainer when it was $200. You can probably do better at its current price point.

Title: Solid buy for someone going beyond casual vinyl listening
Review: Definitely brighter and more punchy than my vacuum tube preamp. Better for newer music and EDM, but I prefer my tubes for classic rock and blues.This is obviously of good quality – The flaw would be that it “pops” through the amp/speakers when it is turned on and off.

Title: Excellent phono pre-amp
Review: Was looking for a nice phono pre-amp to pair with my recently purchased Project Debut Carbon turntable. Very pleased with the quality. Output is very clean with no hum or coloring of the music as far as I can tell. Purchased this and the turntable from Audio Advisor, a vendor I highly recommend. Came well packaged with lots of bubble/padding which I appreciated.

Title: Sonido suave, espacial y envolvente.
Review: Incluí este equipo en mi sistema para complementar la amplificación desde mi tornamesa Pro Ject Debute Carbon DC hacia mi AVR Denon y la experiencia sonora fue sorprendentemente buena. Escuché detalles en mis vinilos nunca experimentados.

Title: Tried 5- Musical Fidelity was the standout winner!
Review: Tried 5 phono preamps from $30-$1000+and this one was the best. Not even a contest. Project tube box was a joke, vintage Conrad Johnson tube preamp, vintage pioneer reciever with phono stage, NAD preamp and finally settled on this one. Technics SL-1300, Ortofon red, Klipsch Forte II, and it sounds stunning!

Title: More than a entry level phono stage.
Review: Amazing phono preamp! Used with Nagaoka MP-150 it sounded amazing. Nice imaging, good dynamics, never harsh or bright. More than just a “starter” phono stage- would highly recommend with the Pioneer 1000 turntable and the above mentioned cartridge for a audiophile setup that sounds amazing for about 1k (less interconnects).

Review: Przedwzmacniacz rewelacyjny, zasilacz tandeta. Nie wiem jak ocenić całośc. Dźwięk jest przestrzenny i dynamiczny. Zasilacz potrafi dodawać coś od siebie (wymieniłęm -3 urząadzenia). Może trzeba dokupić dodatkowy, porządny zasilacz 1V ale to już powoduje wzrost ceny przedwzmacniacza.

Review: Il V90-LPS è un amplificatore per phono di buonissima qualità ad un prezzo assolutamente interessante e alla portata di tutti. In grado di gestire sia testine MM che MC, a mio modo di vedere è indispensabile in una catena audio di medio livello, sopratutto se il giradischi e la testina sono di buona qualità. Davvero utile è la possibilità di connettere contemporaneamente i due tipi di testine, che possono essere ascoltate alternativamente.Il suono espresso è davvero convincente, molto “neutro” (senza coloriture) e molto dettagliato e ricco. Un acquisto ottimo. Una pecca: l’imballaggio! Sarei tentato di dare una stella in meno proprio per il modo con il quale il prodotto è arrivato (confezione originale, nessuna protezione, un giro di nastro – neanche completo – per impedire l’apertura della confezione); non lo faccio semplicemente perché reputo questo piccolo Musical Fidelity (una Casa che è sempre garanzia di qualità) un prodottino davvero eccellente.

Review: Arrived yesterday and i test it against my build in preamp of Yamaha AS 501 and my external preamp Art Dj Pre 2. Musical Fidelity is mopping the floor with them. Sound is richer, more detail, nice treble and bass, more depth and clarity. Only draw back is the cheap 3-4 euros power supply made in China for other pourpose witch is quite embarassing for a company like Musical Fidelity. But i will change that. So if you want to buy one, is an yes 100%.
