Unison Research Unico Nuovo

The Unico Nuovo might be the perfect entry into truly inspired hi fidelity audio.  The Nuovo builds on Unison's history of exceptional integrated amp design from the Unico Primo and Due, but with a striking compromise between power and affordability.  For the listener looking for more power than the Primo can offer, the Nuovo has that.  For the owner satisfied with their existing DAC, the Nuovo drops that feature in favor of an excellent phono stage.  The on-board 95 watts per channel of solid state output power has plenty of  headroom for demanding speaker loads, and the signature simplistic Unison front panel controls are lovely to experience. 

Like other Unico designs, the electronic circuitry of the Unico Due is laid out in two stages. The first stage is of a Class-A ECC83/12AX7 dual-triode tube type, providing low gain with low output impedance.  This stage then feeds into a symmetrical MOSFET Class A/AB output stage that emits power so effortlessly you will be drawn into the music in ways you didn't think possible.  The linearity of these design is part of the magic of the Unison sound.  

In addition to the base design, the Nuovo provides a user-selectable, on-board MM/MC phono stage which is silky smooth.  The power supply circuits have been enhanced thanks to a substantial increase in filter capacitance size and to accommodate Unison's high-quality, shielded and proprietary power transformers. 

The Nuovo is relatively compact compared to its larger siblings, but it packs a big punch and delivers a beautiful soundstage with dynamics through-and-through
