The NVC-TT, (also seen as NVC-331 on some websites) is certainly a curiousity.
It looks to be expected around June time.
Looking at those USD $ prices, my assumption is UK MRRP will be about £3k, (or maybe similar to existing SuperLine @ £2,799)
Steve has said it cannot be powered by the new NXT-300. Fair enough.
It can be powered direct from the NSC222, with the 8 pin DIN arrangement. So, we might assume a similar arrangements will be available on other 200 & 300 pre-amp / control units.
It appears to be Naim’s “New Classic” high quality external phono option, maybe in particular for MC cartridge users.
I think all that can be relied upon?
Steve also said the only other way of powering this high quality external phono, is with the partnering NXT-TT turntable PSU.
That last bit has got me wondering?
How far might we go with speculation…
Is it too far to imagine several components from the Solstice project might also be available separately, such as cartridge and tone arm, as well as the phono unit? Maybe even the PSU, in one form or another?
The bit that I’m really interesting to understand, is if there will be any external power supply option, for use as (1) a NVC-TT PSU upgrade option ; or, (2) at least for powering the NVC-TT, as a stand alone phono solution, first for legacy Naim systems, and second with other brands and turntable solutions?
All speculation?
