GET GST INPUT

Ever wondered why speakers, amplifiers, projectors etc. come with a slightly heftier price tag in India compared to their overseas counterparts? Well, part of the answer lies in our country's Goods & Services Tax (GST).

But here's the kicker: Don't let that GST input slip through your fingers! Especially when some of the products we supply carry a GST rate of 18% and 28%.

At AVStore, we provide you with a GST compliant invoice for every purchase.

The NOVA A-I130 is based on the conviction that nothing replaces the warmth of tubes to reproduce live music. The ECC81 tube preamplification stage introduces harmonic richness that transistors alone cannot offer-a soundstage depth, a carnal presence to the sound. But uncontrolled heat is not high fidelity. That's why the Class AB amplification section, powered by a 380 VA toroidal transformer, takes over with authority-capturing the most demanding dynamics, controlling the most recalcitrant speakers.  Downstream, the 4-channel DSP ADAU1452 and the ESS9017S DAC in Quad mode ensure that none of this precision is lost along the way. From tube to speaker: absolute coherence.

4-channel DSP ADAU1452

Your room influences the sound: dimensions, materials, geometry. The NOVA's 4-channel DSP adjusts each speaker-drivers and woofers-according to its position.

The result: controlled bass, a stable soundstage, and speakers that take a back seat to the music. Studio precision, accessible from your amplifier.

Your music stays the same. Your space, however, reveals it.

DAC ESS9017S Quad Mode

Your audio file has a history: recording, mastering, various formats. NOVA preserves it.

Its ESS9017S DAC, in Quad mode, merges 8 channels into 4 analog paths of rare purity-reduced noise, expanded dynamic range, and restored micro-details.

It handles all formats (PCM 24/192, DSD, HDMI eARC) without alteration.

Listening: sound as the artist intended. No compromises.

ECC81 tube pre-amplification

Tubes persist because their unique warmth and presence still captivate discerning audiophiles. A matter of physics, not nostalgia.

The ECC81 tube in the NOVA, the first link in the signal chain, shapes the sound. Where a transistor reproduces coldly, the tube adds even harmonics-imperceptible to measurement, but audible. They enrich vocals, strings, and brass.

Result: a deep soundstage, spatially separated instruments, and captivating presence.

The NOVA doesn't choose between analog and digital. It merges them.

Integrated HDMI eARC

Modern television broadcasts high-end audio content (Dolby Atmos, high-resolution PCM), but few hi-fi systems take advantage of it.

The NOVA's HDMI eARC solves this: a single connection transmits the native signal, intact, processed by the DSP and the ESS9017S DAC. Without compromise.

Its strength? Seamless integration: your TV remote controls everything, without any change in habits.

Audiophile performance. Intuitive use.

ALPS Potentiometer

Invisible details transform a device into an object of attachment.

The ALPS potentiometer on the NOVA, the first point of contact with every listen, offers linear and precise attenuation - without imbalance, without jumps. A technical rigor that inspires confidence.

Its touch, soft and controlled, invites precision. A discreet pleasure, but one that leaves a mark once experienced.

The NOVA reveals itself the moment your hand touches it.

Scalable architecture

Devices become obsolete as the world evolves: new formats, new habits. The usual response? Replace them.

Le NOVA focuses on scalability: two dedicated slots. One for the A-NTC cartridge, which adds streaming when you want it. The other for the A-BTC dongle, for uncompromising bidirectional Bluetooth. Insert one, and your NOVA evolves.

More than modularity: sustainability. Your amplifier grows with technology without becoming obsolete.

Installed today, the NOVA will remain relevant tomorrow. By design.
