Nuforce STA200

The test was done into a 4 ohm load. Rated output was measured as 76wpc. Seems to me one might consider this amp as a 40wpc at 8ohm supplier. Did I miss something?

Test or not at $499...the amp sounds terrific.

I tend to not put much stock in reviews when people take a fantastically reviewed piece of equipment, and say, "but look at these measurements I came up with"..... Especially when it is a lone voice.

Nine months ago purchased a pair of the STA-200’s to bi-amp Martin Logan SL3 electrostats.  Very satisfied.  After about 200 hours of break in time can verify the good results reported by others.  Liked them so much purchased a 3’rd and sent it to my son (at $499 from AA a steal).  Ditto results.  The only issue, as reported, is the high gain.  They do not distort even when pushed hard, but it limits out on my system at 11 o clock (too loud), more like 9:30 for normal listening.  I use a DB hand held meter to preserve my hearing.  The only issue is the amp does induce a slight hum from my tube phono section in neutral..  Have a Schiit passive on order and expecting it any day.  Based on reports here I’ll try an upgrade to the PC.  Thanks for the recommendations.
