Class D vs Class A


Valvet 3.5 vs Nuforce ref 9 v3se.
Efficient and powerful vs power hungry and sweet consider pairing with Zen Adagios.Considering switch from Nuforce to Valvet will I miss the power?

Wow. If you must go digital, there are other class d amps that I would get in a heartbeat before the Nuforce. I'm a former Nuforce owner and couldn't get rid of them fast enough. IMO, the Wyred amps are warmer, more transparent, organic and just plain easier to listen to than the Nuforce amps. In my experience, there is nothing "musical" about them at all. There are so many more options within your budget. Sell the amps, and one power cord and get a Wyred or another variation of class d (if you must). I don't always agree with Srajan's opinion on equipment but frankly the Job 225 stereo amp is truly a wonderful amp and a steal at it's price. While input impedance is average, its input voltage sensitivity is a ridiculously low .75 volts and gain is absurdly high 35 db. If you don't have a tube preamp (they tend to have high Zout), then consider the Job and pocket some cash if you can. This post has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'm selling my Wyred4Sound STI-500 integrated.
