Musical Fidelity V90-LPS User Manual

V90-LPS Phono Stage

High Performance Phono

The V90-LPS is a modestly priced,
very high performance MM/MC
phono stage with superb technical
per formance.

In our opinion, there are ve critical

areas where a phono stage must
achieve excellence:

1. RIAA correction

2. Correction above 20 kHz

3. Low distortion

4. Low noise

5. Good overload margin

The V90 -LPS has extremely
accurate RIAA correction and that
extends up to 80 kHz and beyond.
That may sound extreme, but there
is a good deal of information above
20 kHz that needs correction. If it
isn’t corrected, it will show itself as
ringing and overshoot.

The V90 -LPS’s distortion is very low.
Noise ratio is extremely low and all
but inaudible.

Overload margin is easily adequate
for any current cartridge.

All in all, the V90-LPS accomplishes
everything necessary for a
phono stage.

There are many phono stages
that are far more expensive and
make extraordinar y claims for
their performance. In contrast, the
modest V90-LPS just gets on with
the job of doing everything you
could reasonably expect from a
phono stage.

If you want top notch performance,
and don’t care about the alleged
conferred status of buying a high­priced product that offers no better
performance than the V90-LPS,
then we are of a like mind.
