The core idea is unchanged, a valve preamp stage feeding a MOSFET power stage, but the details have moved on. The input tube changed from the ECC82\/12AU7 to the higher-gain ECC83\/12AX7 twin-triode, carefully matched to the power-stage gain to accentuate the valve character. The MOSFET output complement was doubled, and a revised constant power supply design gives the amplifier an easier, more relaxed quality at higher levels along with more dynamic headroom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign and Build Quality\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/nuovo_front_silver.jpg?v=1780744983\" alt=\"Unison Research Unico Nuovo integrated amplifier silver front panel with selector and volume knobs\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:1000px;height:auto;border-radius:12px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nuovo is unusually well made under the lid. The heatsink is shaped to nestle around a large toroidal transformer, and the volume control uses a long rod so the level is adjusted right at the input rather than routing the audio signal from the back of the chassis to the front and back again. Well-considered mechanical earthing eliminates microphony. The fascia is a thick aluminum extrusion with a non-reflective sandcast finish that matches the two knobs, and the power switch sits on the right side panel. There are only two controls, a source selector and volume, each with a discreet status LED.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSound Performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Nuovo has a natural flow and sounds fast and assured, ebbing and swelling with the music. Stereo imaging has real depth, and in the lateral plane the sound stretches without a break between the speakers. The warmth feels like it comes from inside the music rather than being laid on from outside, which is the trap most hybrid amplifiers fall into. What you get is solid-state power delivery leavened by the grace and polish of a good valve design, an authentic taste of the high end at a sensible price. It is not the most powerful amplifier in its class, but it holds its own with most 100-watt designs and mid-efficiency speakers, always with power in hand and no hint of strain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConnectivity and Versatility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/nuovo_rear_panel.jpg?v=1780744985\" alt=\"Unison Research Unico Nuovo rear panel inputs, phono, sub output and bi-wiring binding posts\" style=\"width:100%;max-width:1000px;height:auto;border-radius:12px;margin:16px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe rear panel carries five RCA inputs plus a tape loop, and on our units one of those inputs is fitted as the moving-magnet\/moving-coil phono stage, switchable with internal jumpers.
