Hi All,

I Have just started running in a NuPrime sta 9 power amplifier, and I am very impressed already.

My current system consists of A Bel Canto cd3t transport, a Bel Canto Dac 1.5 with pre amp . It has both Balanced and se ended outputs.

My cables are DH Labs and I have tried both the se and balanced connection between the dac/pre and sta 9.

I find the se to be more open and livelier but the balanced to maybe be cleaner with better depth but a tad closed in and sat on ?

Anyway would love to hear some feedback from  anyone who has tried both types on connection

Cheers

Paul

If you look just 5 threads below this (4 before you wrote your question), there's a ver recent discussion on the subject:

Hy all
I am re-activating this thread because I have so far not found the answer to the question (sorry Rafapolit, but your ref. leads to a thread discussing cables, not answering the question...)
So the real question is: Are Nuprime amplifiers true balanced design, or is the XLR input/output only functionnal ?
Thx in advance

[Speedskater]

There are balanced interconnect systems, which are always better (at least at the theoretical level).
Then there are balanced internal circuit designs.
Two entirely different ballgames.

Exactly: Hence my question: Are the Nuprime, esp. the ST10M that I own, true balanced conception ?

[rustydoglim]

YES

[Luculus]

YES

A clear and straight answer  Thank you Jason

Hi....the transformer in the front provides good weight distribution and counterbalances speaker and line level cables connected to the back. There's a little heatsink in the middle of the chassis, a little bit toward the back. This area of the chassis gets warm to the touch when the amp is in operation.

Is this a question or are you letting the rest of us know of this issue?

He could be from NuPrime or a dealer, I can't tell who that is. 
I think it is just FYI.
