Overview
The Unison Research Unico Nuovo offers an ideal entry point into high-fidelity audio, delivering a harmonious blend of power, performance, and affordability. Drawing from the legacy of its predecessors—the Unico Primo and Unico Due—the Nuovo is designed for listeners who seek more power without the added cost of a DAC, featuring a robust 95 watts per channel and a sophisticated phono stage.
Key Features
- Hybrid Valve and Solid-State Design: Combines the warmth of a dual-triode valve stage with the strength of a MOSFET output stage.
- Integrated Phono Stage: User-selectable MM/MC phono stage for vinyl enthusiasts.
- High-Quality Power Supply: Enhanced filter capacitance and proprietary power transformers ensure consistent performance.
- Elegant Design: Clean aluminum front panels with advanced sandblasting and anodizing for a refined finish.
- Compact and Powerful: Packs significant power and dynamic range in a relatively compact form factor.
About Unison Research
Unison Research, founded in Italy, has a long-standing reputation for crafting high-fidelity audio equipment that marries traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Each product reflects their passion for music and dedication to producing equipment that delivers both sonic excellence and visual beauty.
Refined Circuit Layout
The Unico Nuovo features a dual-stage design, beginning with a Class-A ECC83/12AX7 dual-triode valve stage that provides low gain and low output impedance. This stage feeds into a symmetrical MOSFET Class A/AB output stage, ensuring a powerful yet effortless sound that draws you into the music. The linearity of this design is key to the signature Unison Research sound, providing a transparent and immersive listening experience.
Superior Build Quality
The Nuovo’s build quality reflects Unison Research’s commitment to excellence. The amplifier’s power supply circuits have been enhanced with substantial filter capacitance and high-quality, shielded power transformers. These improvements ensure reliable performance and long-term durability. The aluminum front panels, finished with a sandblasting and anodizing process, offer a visually stunning appearance that complements its technical sophistication.
Engaging Sonic Performance
The Unico Nuovo’s sonic performance is driven by its innovative circuitry. The amplifier employs a parallel double-triode design with a new biasing solution, derived from high-end phono stages. This "ionic bias" system works alongside the level shifter and signal follower stages to deliver an accurate, audiophile sound. The MOSFET output stage is laid out symmetrically and powered by a dedicated power supply stage, ensuring minimal phase displacement and a valve-influenced sound that is both detailed and musical.
Versatile Connectivity
The Unico Nuovo is equipped with five line-level RCA inputs, including a user-selectable phono input for turntables. The back panel also features a low-impedance stereo output for connecting to a powered subwoofer or other line-level devices. This versatility makes the Nuovo a flexible option for various audio setups, from traditional stereo systems to more complex configurations.
Elegant and Functional Design
Unison Research’s attention to design extends beyond performance. The Nuovo’s aluminum front panels are crafted using a sandblasting and anodizing process, which enhances both the aesthetics and durability of the amplifier. The result is an elegant, understated design that fits seamlessly into any listening environment.
