Nuforce STA200

I just bought one from Audio Advisor, and shortly after, the listing changed to "Demo" model for $400. Looks like I might have got their last "non demo" one. :)

this morning they have new ones for $499

Oh well, still happy to get one. 

A purchaser of this amp, from early in 2017, stated " Conrad Johnson meets Krell ". I have owned a few CJ amps ( 2 tube, 2 ss ), and a few Krells ( but am familiar with many Krell amps ), and I have to say, this amp definitely has many " high end " characteristics. What I like about it, particularly, is how " tuneful " it is. With a better pc, it truly follows the bass and rhythm of whatever music I am listening to, and I cannot say many of my amps ( and believe me, there have been 100s ) have done so well in this area. The transients are fast, and the dynamics are incredible ( keep in mind my Lascala’s are quite dynamic ). The tone mimics the music, and the spatial presentation is high, wide and deep. A killer at $499., and of course, with the right loudspeakers. It is a very musical and enjoyable amplifier. Enjoy ! MrD.

I had to sell my Mark Levinson #331 a few days ago (I needed the cash...) To "replace" it, I bought a like new Vincent SP-331 off CL for $600 and this, I am going to sell whichever one I like less. 

I have been running the Vincent since yesterday, it is nice, but I am really missing my ML  :(  

If the NuForce is as good as you say, hopefully it will be closer to the ML...

If neither do it for me, I may sell them both and look at the new Class A amp from Schiit when it comes out. 

I am running a pair of Tekton Lore-S speakers and have a Schiit Freya pre.
