An extremely high damping factor. Damping factor is simply a measure of an amplifier’s ability to drive
and control a speaker. The higher the number, the better. An excellent tube amplifier might have a
damping factor between 10 and 100. A high-quality Class-A amplifier might reach 200. A NuPrime
amplifier has a damping factor about 400. And unlike conventional amps, NuPrime’s damping factor is
totally unaffected by changes in audio frequencies. Simply stated, NuPrime delivers lightning-fast
dynamics to any speaker.
3.
Ultra-low distortion and noise. In conventional amplifiers, a fixed specification for distortion or noise
simply does not exist. Manufacturers invariably choose to quote the most flattering numbers, typically
measured at 1 watt. In reality, when power demands increase, so does distortion and noise. NuPrime
employs patent-pending technologies that cancel distortion at every cycle of operation. NuPrime amps
maintain the same low distortion characteristics at every output level and audio frequency.
4.
No phase shift. Many amps use output filters that create phase shift. When phase shifts, spatial
information becomes inaccurate. Most amps present phase shifts of better than 45 degrees at 20 kHz,
heading toward 90 degrees as frequency increases. NuPrime amps cancel these distortions owing to a
unique closed-loop design producing zero phase shift across all frequencies. Repeat, zero.
NuPrime provides unequalled, fully regulated output without ripple voltage or noise. Absent this electronic
smog, music emerges from a pristine background, delicate details and nuances intact. Purity has a sound, and
it’s beautiful.
