Nyal Futterman NCP-II // Vintage / Stereo Tube Preamplifier / Ultra Rare
$8,999The New York Audio Laboratories NCP‑2 is the deep-cut geek favorite in the world of vintage preamps—built under the watchful eye of Julius Futterman and NYAL’s design team in the early ’80s, it’s a pure tube phono preamp and line stage with zero compromises. Sporting multiple regulated stages via its HTMPS tube-regulated power supply, it uses cascaded tubes to deliver monster gain (around 74 dB) with silky smooth clarity and surprisingly low noise—perfect for feeding low-output MC cartridges without any extra fuzz or distortion. It’s the kind of analog gear that whispers “audiophile precision,” not “vintage quirk,” making vinyl feel both refined and alive.
On this unit, the A and B phono inputs were previously modified and wired together in parallel. The front control was also removed from the circuit and does not switch between the A and B phono inputs. Only one turntable should be connected at any time.
