Editors' Choice Award 2019 – The Absolute Sound Magazine"Recommended" – HiFi Choice Magazine"One Sexy Beast"Engineered for audio purists, the NuForce STA200 two-channel power amp provides reference audio quality and is neatly enclosed in a striking metal case. Complementing any contemporary living space, the sleek design and compact dimensions are equally at home displayed as a center piece or discreetly tucked out of view. The STA200 won an Editors' Choice Award 2019 from The Absolute Sound magazine, which noted, "Basic solid-state power amplifiers are not, due to their essential nature as boxes with parts inside, sexy objects that inspire a lot of audiophile lust. The STA200 will never be accused of looking sexy or especially stylish—unless you are into stark minimalism. But if sound quality and solid-state reliability are your primary purchasing criteria, the STA200 should be on your radar. You may not be blown away by the STA200’s looks, but its sound turns it into one sexy beast." "An Upgrade Well Worth Auditioning""In a downscaled audio world, here’s an upgrade well worth auditioning," notes the September 2016 issue of England's HiFi Choice magazine, which honored the STA200 with the publication's coveted "Recommended" stamp of approval. "The STA200 is a power amp of some distinction with solid musical instincts." "The Optoma NuForce STA200 is a compact device with well-chosen components. Thanks to its tonal balance, the stereo amplifier is the ideal complement for a wide range of preamplifiers," says Germany's ModernHifi.de. "The frequency response was wide-band and provided a great neutrality." Pure Clean PowerThe STA200's 80 watts-per-channel of pure, clean power will fill even the largest rooms with engaging, immersive sound. Jointly developed with the world renowned Swiss audio specialist Goldmund, this amp features many technical innovations, including a pioneering star-grounding design and dual mono architecture to ensure that your music sounds fantastic. "NuForce’s proprietary negative feedback circuitry operates as the basis that produces this amp’s exquisite sound quality. With a self-resonant design, the 400 kHz frequency constantly adjusts to the input signal, output current demands and loudspeaker impedance variations," says MonoAndStereo.com. "A linear power supply, which is uncommon in most Class-D amps, produces the ultimate experience for audio enthusiasts. This supply produces 85 Watts through each of its channels at 8 Ohm, providing incredible speed and accuracy," concludes MonoAndStereo.com. According to HiFi Choice magazine, "The NuForce amp doesn’t smudge edges or blur textures, presenting performers and their acoustic environment as a coherent whole with the full spectrum of tonal colours and beautifully resolved instrumental timbres." Purist Design PhilosophyThe purist design philosophy of this class AB amp is evident in many of its features, from the hand-selected components and circuit designs to the minimalist acoustically damped all metal chassis. A dual mono topology has been employed throughout to minimize crosstalk and maximize the sound quality. This concept begins with the oversized, hand-wound toroidal transformer with separate taps for the left and right channels and continues with twin rectifiers and separate PSU’s all the way through to the output stages. Sleek DesignThe acoustically damped full metal chassis is crafted from anodized aluminum with an attractive pearl white scratch resistant finish for enhanced resonance control.
Editors' Choice Award 2019 – The Absolute Sound Magazine"Basic solid-state power amplifiers are not, due to their essential nature as boxes with parts inside, sexy objects that inspire a lot of audiophile lust. Perhaps that is why so many manufacturers feel the need to tart up their basic power amplifiers with thick front panels, cool meters, or artistically sculpted, rad-colored enclosures. The STA200 will never be accused of looking sexy or especially stylish—unless you are into stark minimalism. But if sound quality and solid-state reliability are your primary purchasing criteria, the STA200 should be on your radar.
