My first impressions from listening to a pair of NuForce™ amplifiers was the incredible speed, smoothness at all volume levels and power they posessed. Then I really started listening. The harmonic structures were clearer, the soundstage was better, the listenability factor was greater than any amp I have ever owned or listened to before.
All this from a 3 pound amp? Don't be fooled by the "heaviness factor" of amps any longer. Most of the weight (and many of the problems) with conventional amplifiers are the power supplies. In a typical "heavyweight" amplifier, you will find a large transformer. That basically is what supplies the current, that gives your amp its musical muscle. The problem is, next to the Nu Force switching power supply, the transformer based power supply is slooooow. Not just on the rise, but on the fall. Once that dynamic peak is over, that big transformer cannot recover fast enough, and ends up hurting the audio signal. Skeptical? Try a Nu Force amp in your own system and see if it doesn't supply better transient speed, and (at least) equal force than your heavyweight, megabuck amp.
NOT a Digital Amp NuForce developed its revolutionary amplifier technology from the ground up to tackle absolute and faithful music reproduction.
NuForce amplifiers offer unparalleled high bandwidth (unlike class D amps), with virtually no phase-shift in the audible frequency range. Therefore all audio frequencies ant their pitch-defining harmonics are faithfully reproduced. Additionally, the output stage is fully regulated providing an extremely high damping factor (exceeding 4000) which ensures tight, articulate bass reproduction.
No other solid state amplifier could compare with NuForce Analog Swtching Amplifiers™. While the best of vacuum tube amplifiers may share the pristine midrange reproduction similar to NuForce amplifiers, they inevitably have attenuated high frequencies, phase shift errors, and do not have the bass control or resolution.
The Reference 8 puts out 140W into 8 ohms while retaining its 0.05% THD+noise rating from 10Hz to100kHz, from first watt to last.
