| Nuforce STA200 The STA 200 is not bridgeable, meaning you cannot combine both channels to make a single higher wattage amp ( usually impedance capability changes with the amp when you do this ). However, when you separate the crossover of the speaker, as you sug... | |
| Nuforce STA200 I had a relatively high end tube preamp, which resulted in a hum through my 104 db efficient speakers, with this amp. The combo was fine with less efficient speakers. Same occurrence with a ss preamp, in both cases. Because of it’s high gain, it i... | |
| Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Repair Help To the OP, I am sorry if what I said was not what you wanted to hear. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Best sounding "budget" integrated amp for Vandersteen 2C. A Schitt passive and a Nuforce STA 200 ( from Audio Advisor ). A phono stage can be obtained for not much money. A knockout package ! Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Repair Help Just my opinion. I owned 2 different Eagle 2s and found them to be excellent subwoofer amplifiers, but were just ok running them full range. They were both quite bullet proof, and I was proud to have owned them, but, unless you can repair them at ... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? I am sure Tommy has vacated this thread, not just from the 2 of us, but others. I am sorry Tommy. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Krell KSA100 vs Threshold 400A vs McCormack DNA 0.5 @legarem I have owned SM70s, and they were quite a bit better when driven balanced. Quite a night and day difference, actually. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? Tommy, I would like to truly apologize to you, as, some of my content does not make this thread a sharing and learning experience for you. This is what the "Gon should be about. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| CD player just tanked. Or a Dac....Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? d2girls, really ? I sure hope you are joking. You do not want to get me started, and embarrass you yet on another thread. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @tommypenngotti, I believe the Tekton DI, based on what I have read, and I have read it all, would be an excellent choice. To be clear, I still have not heard them, but the descriptions by owners and reviewers has me to believe they are as satisfy... | |
| Budget/value SS power amp recommendation What are your speakers for this 3rd system ? I am a huge fan of the Nuforce STA 200 amplifier, $499. from Audio Advisor ( still ). It has a lot of gain, so I do recommend it cautiously as it might amplify noise further up in the chain. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5 As opinionated as bo1972 is, with as many posts as he has, there is no mention on his "home page " as to the components he uses to create this " "TRU FI ", as he says. Besides, anyone who bashes horns, and says they are not lifelike, is a totally ... | |
| Help with interconnects? Left to right and right to left is not out of phase. It is simply reversed channels. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Filling speaker Stands? Number 8 or 9 lead shot ( can be mixed with sand ) is still the best for both minimal resonance, and stability, ime. Enjoy ! MrD. |
