Advantages of NuPrime Ampli er Technology
1. High bandwidth. Truly faithful reproduction of music demands bandwidth, and plenty of it.
Inadequate bandwidth withholds important spatial information and tonal complexities. NuPrime
amps deliver high bandwidth with a ruler- at response from 20 to 50,000Hz. Only a very few,
very expensive linear ampli ers are capable of achieving that. This bandwidth allows NuPrime to
amplify complex music with faithfulness far beyond the capability of conventional amps, with
particular regard to a vast soundstage – accurate spatial information delivered in full.
2. An extremely high damping factor. Damping factor is simply a measure of an ampli er’s ability
to drive and control a speaker. The higher the number, the better. An excellent tube ampli er
might have a damping factor between 10 and 100. A high-quality Class-A ampli er might reach
200. A NuPrime ampli er has a damping factor about 400. And unlike conventional amps,
NuPrime’s damping factor is totally una ected by changes in audio frequencies. Simply stated,
NuPrime delivers lightning-fast dynamics to any speaker.
3. No phase shift. Many amps use output lters 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.
