Musical Fidelity V90 LPS - Phono Stage

    • The Musical Fidelity V90-LPS is a high-quality, dual-input phono preamplifier designed to support both MM (Moving Magnet) and MC (Moving Coil) cartridges. It delivers very accurate RIAA equalisation (maintaining fidelity well above 20 kHz), extremely low noise and distortion, and a good overload margin—making it excellent for serious vinyl enthusiasts seeking clean, true-to-source sound without splurging on ultra-high-end gear. Its compact build, solid performance, and simple yet effective design make it a go-to choice for upgrading an analog front end.

Description

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

In our opinion, there are five critical areas where a phono stage must achieve excellence:

  • RIAA correction
  • Correction above 20 kHz
  • Low distortion
  • Low noise
  • Good overload margin

Warranty:

1-year manufacturer’s warranty

Features:

  • Switchable MM / MC input
  • Extremely accurate RIAA extending out to at least 60kHz
  • Very low noise (virtually inaudible)
  • Very low distortion
  • Excellent overload margin
  • Excellent channel separation
  • Beautiful, considered build quality

The V90-LPS has extremely accurate RIAA correction and which 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 extraordinary 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 high-priced product that offers no better performance than the V90-LPS, then we are of a like mind.
