STA-100 $499
« on: 26 Aug 2024, 08:31 pm »
This amazing amp is now under the Nuprime-X brand: https://nuprime-x.com/product/sta-100/
A review is coming soon.

The NuPrime STA-100 is the most powerful (2x100W@8 Ohm & 2x150W@4 Ohm) entry-level high-end audio amplifier in its price range. It has a neutral and detailed sound characteristic.

STA-100 design incorporates high-speed gate driver error correction to achieve ultra-low distortion. Advanced protection circuitry safeguard STA-100 from failure due to fault conditions such as short circuits, overload, over-temperature, and under-voltage.



The Adaptive Voltage Switching Power Supply is the most innovative SMPS design introduced by NuPrime for the first time. The amplifier's output signal feeds back into the power supply's servo power stage, causing a change in the output voltages supplying the power stage of the amplifier. This design resulted in more details at a low music level and explosive power at a high volume.

Nice release, 100W is very useful to full range drivers.

“ The Adaptive Voltage Switching Power Supply is the most innovative SMPS design introduced by NuPrime for the first time.”

So are you saying that this is a different amp than the Nuforce STA-100 ?

Totally different.  Nuprime is not allowed to use Nuforce technology other than the Ref series. Nuforce design and technologies are more than 10 years old, way outdated :).  Nuprime has come a long way since.

Jason,

Is there any way to use this amp (2 amps, actually) as a mono amp? I know that some of your amps allow this option. Does this one?

Wow, nice looking amp and great price.  I would love to hear one.  You could make a nice little system pairing it with something like the Saga preamp and Modi DAC.  All for under $1K.  Add a pair of Elac BR2 speakers and you have a great system for under $1500.

Not this one.  Mono amp is on its way.

We need to bring out products for entry level audiophiles, typically people who just starting their career and looking for their first system.

Thanks, Jason.

I've been interested in getting two STA-9X amps for a while now, but I must sell an amp before I can make the switch - but that amp is 5000 miles to the west of my current location.   :? Hopefully, it'll happen next Spring.

Nuprime makes great products. Keep up the good work!  :thumb:
