| Step up integrated for PSB Syncrony 2 I recently upgraded my integrated that's driving Bowers and Wilkins 683 S2s in a large room. It's the NuPrime IDA-16; a 200 watt integrated with an excellent DAC.I'm extremely happy with it. It is an excellent value. Check it out if you get a chan... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Cool, whitestix. I really enjoy my NuPrime IDA-16. If the ST10 is anything like my IDA-16 it will take a few weeks for it to really start settling-in.Based on my experience with the IDA-16 I believe you are in for a good time, enjoy.Cheers,Scott | |
| Tekton Pendragons - looking for low watt SET amp Before I opened this post I was going to suggest the Art Audio Carissa. I was pleasantly surprised to see that jcarcopo had beat me to an Art Audio recommendation. I lived with the Carissa for about two years. It was astounding. It is the only pie... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? @ricred1 Those Monitor Audio PL500 IIs look like amazing speakers. I bet they sound fantastic with the Jeff Rowland gear. But if I was looking to try something different I would look to the Krell Solo 575.It would be interesting to hear those spea... | |
| Class D = Trash? @guidocorona Great post, thank you. I completely agree with your observations. I have yet to purchase a piece of gear, be it cables, DACs, amps or speakers that didn't take 500-1000 hrs to break-in completely.Moving anything in my system also guar... | |
| Need Power Amp advice @trip Many good suggestions here. On the integrated front check out the NuPrime IDA-8. I’ve been using the IDA-16 and have been thoroughly pleased with everything about it.Cheers,Scott | |
| Going from computer audio to dedicated streamer @mofojo I've had my Bluesound Node 2 for nearly a year. Like you I heard an immediate improvement; more musical, refined and easy to listen to. I'm very glad to have the computer out of the way and I can't see ever going back to USB.I believe I'll... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @fencingfan,I bet the NuPrime/Amphion combo is excellent. I'm a month in with my IDA16 and I love it. I'm using it with Bowers and Wlikins 683 S2s. With the sound I'm getting I have to believe the DAC in it is outstanding as well. Yeah, the feel o... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @autre "system synergy" and "system compatibility". This is one of the reasons I was more then happy to go with a class-D integrated.😀Cheers,Scott | |
| Bluesound Node 2 vs. Auralic Aries Mini @dogmcd Very cool. I bet that AURALiC Aries Mini sounds fantastic going into your NuPrime DAC10H/ST-10 combo.When I was using USB I did find an improvement in sound when I used a WireWorld UltraViolet USB cable. It wasn’t anything drastic, just se... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @guidocorona Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to what more hours will reveal. It's been a great ride so far. Cheer,Scott | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @guidocorona I'm glad you mentioned break-in hours again. I'm at 300 hours with my amp and it continues to settle in and get better.Do you feel the lengthy break-in associated with class-D runs across the board? As I mentioned above I am running a... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires Thanks, Erik, great info. I had no idea it might mimic or be similar to other designs.It’s my first adventure with class-D so I have no idea if it’s better or even as good as Hypex, B&O or Pascal. I do know I like everything abou... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Lots of great info and feedback on the "big boys" in class D (B&O, Hypex, Pascal).I've been using the NuPrime IDA-16, which uses proprietary modules and I'm really liking what I'm hearing. So much so that I'm pretty sure it's staying (45 day t... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @autre The Wyred 4 Sound STi v.2 integrateds were on my list. They do not have a dac. The Wyred gear is very well reviewed and there are many happy users out there.http://https//www.wyred4sound.com/products/integrated-amps/sti-v2-series Cheers,Scott |
