| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp I got the Red Dragon class D amp today and it sounds very good right out of the box, although not as fleshed out as the Nuprime and bit sibilant, but only slightly so. It has an unsightly case, as others have observed. Still,it might be difficu... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Kim,Funny you should ask. I am sitting here in my living room waiting for the big brown truck to deliver the S500 at the moment. I figure I will be the last delivery of the day. I have been very impressed with the sound of the Nuprime amp as I ha... | |
| Looking for THE amp to anchor my system, Krell, Plinius or maybe a D Well, I am 100% with Kdude66 in auditioning both the Red Dragon S100 (I have one arriving Monday) and the Nuprime ST10, both class D amps. I have had the ST10 for two weeks today and much prefer its astonishing clarity to my venerable McCormack c... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Celo, I do not recall the model of the Bel Canto amp I had maybe 5 years ago, but is was used and well run-in when I got it. My listening notes reveal that the sound of it was exceeding dry, lifeless and strident. I flipped it in within a few day... | |
| Synergestic Research: SCAM Madavid0.You stepped into it on this forum calling BS on SR "tweaks". I have tried a boatload of their stuff as I am an inveterate audio tweaker, which has included their foolish and pricey "room dots" and goofy expensive fuses. If Geoff Kait ch... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Kdude,The S-500 must be fine for Clayton Shaw to recommend them for his Hologram speakers. Glad to hear you felt the ST10 compares to it. Samac, thanks for the insight into the breaking in of the ST10... I like it now and expect I will like it e... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp I have about 50 hours on the amp and am happy to report that it is breaking nice nicely. It is very powerful, dead quiet, and the crystal clarity of the sound of my Holograms is amazing. This is nothing like the Bel Canto Class D amp I had year... | |
| Power Cord Recommendation I have had a bunch of modestly-priced PC over the years, including several from Pangea and Signal Cable in my fairly high-end system, and none of them made a wit's worth of improvement in the sound of my system. However, recently I bought a Shuny... | |
| Initial impression of the Nuprime ST-10 amp Thanks for the encouragement and the reminder to be patient in the break-in process. I never thought I would abandon tube amps for Class A/B amps, but I did and never looked back. I was totally unhappy with the Bel Canto class D amp I had a few ... | |
| Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier? I'd suggest you contact Aaron at Kanso Audio Furniture who is a Belles rep and uses a Belles front end in his stellar audio system. He can tell you how fine the Belles line of amplification is. | |
| Speaker cables if your amp isn't between your speakers Cables matter, no question about it. I affirm the sonic delight of the Dueland cables if you want to twist them up yourself ,and either their 16 or 12 ga. wire would be wonderful and is very affordable. Another excellent and affordable cabel is... | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Great thread, Erik. Going back a bit earlier, I had a Luxman integrated amp that was SOTA.... I wish I still had that powerful piece around. It was built like a tank. | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik,What a most informative thread you have going here! Thanks to the fellows above who share their take on the progression of the design of amplifiers. I won't be parting with my delightful Dennis Had Inspire EL84 SET anytime soon, but this C... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik,Great informative post, with accurate descriptions of the objective differences of the sound of Class D vs. other fine amps. You nailed it. Class D amps do not presently have the euphonic sound of the best Class A solid state or tube amps,... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Gents,I had a pal construct a Class D amp in a nice wood cabinet that set me back the princely sum for $125. It won a blind comparison against a pricey Class A ss amp at a gathering of the Bay Area Audio Society. I initially felt the sound of th... |
