It's cool you could find a replacement for the old B&K. My former B&K FET amps sounded great for a few decades and I'm not sure if parts inside degraded over time due to heat or what but I replaced my 2ch/3ch dual mono amps with Outlaw Audio on my HT system and like you said, "a veil got lifted off" for home theater and general listening, but not the same for dedicated 2ch listening. Will be interesting how the NuForce works for you over the next few years, and if it sounds nice for $499, quite a steal. I'd be tempted to try it with a nice tube preamp in front of it to see how it does. When I want to save the tubes on my tube amps, I run a Cary solid state amp behind my tube preamp and its quite amazing. Maybe something to try with the Nuance to see what you think. Good luck.
Nuforce STA200
I am curious about the Nuforce STA200 amplifier If anyone has experience with the amp it would be appreciated if you would share your listening impressions, both good and bad. Some of the descriptions I have read classify it as a class AB amp and others a class D amp. I am not technical savvy about these things, can a single amplifier be both?
Thanks
