Nuforce STA200

Based on the same circuit board as the Job 225 so not Class D. 

Brad, does it run cool on the speakers currently being driven with the Proceed ? It is AB for sure. As a correction, if I may. The STA 200 does not use the same circuit " board " as the Job, but it does share the same circuit design. The design is exclusively Goldmund. There is a lot of fascinating information about this circuit on the web, licensing agreements, and differences between the Job and the STA 200, and much more. Enjoy ! MrD.

I've never had it break 95 degrees on the heat sinks which by the way is about the same as the Class D amps I have owned.  The Job did not run hot either.  

When my 160w monoblocks needed repair I ordered the Nuforce from Amazon as a stopgap.  To my amazement, at half the power it ran my very inefficient speakers wonderfully, almost equaling the sound of my original amps.
When my monoblocks went down again I thought it was time to replace them permanently, so I bought used a highly touted expensive Belles Hot Rod amp.
In short, the Belles couldn’t cut it.  It just didn’t have the power of the Nuforce which sounded much better.
I can’t  believe the quality at that price.  Amazing!

MrD, in the small room with the Proceed (Turntable room), I never listen above about 80 dB at sitting position, usually closer to 70 dB, so it never got any kind of workout, probably running at less than 1 wpc. Running my Wharfedales downstairs in an open area of around 10,000 cubic feet, I had it running at a moderate level (my wife would say loud) filling the entire area for hours and it was lukewarm at best afterwards....

Just weird, never had an amp act that way.
