Nuforce STA200

mrdecibel, what is the item that is on the stock STA200 power cord just below where the cord attaches to the amp?  I assume it doesn't impact ones choice of power cord? Thanks

Jetter, I believe you are speaking of the magnet ( ferrite choke ). Look up " what are the bumps at the end of computer cables ", as you will get your answer. These are sold everywhere, and have been for ages, in different sizes, by many manufacturers. Enjoy! MrD.

Thanks mrdecibel, I have seen them often, but I never knew that they were all basically the same device inside the cover, performing the same function. Live and learn.

OK, installed and running, just a couple hours on it...

WOW, for $500 this is incredibly good. Everything above that was said about this amp is true. 

I need time to really sit back an assess it, and I want to let it burn in a bit  before that. But initial impressions, great bass extension (much better than the Vincent SP-331 I tried, and better than my B&K reference 200.2 from my other system) unbelievably transparent, fantastic imaging. Deep sound stage.

Running with upgrade but generic 14 gauge PC currently.

:) :) :)

A few weeks from now you might be convinced there's nothing at $500 that can compare. It is an amazing value.
