NUPRIME AUDIO STA-9 > Reviews

The NuPrime STA-9 power amplifier are characterized by …

– an exceptionally clean, grain-free, clear sound image, which not least promotes a very pleasant, organic-looking tone color representation.
– tonal neutrality. Depending on the loudspeakers connected, it tends to be a bit livelier, fresher in high frequencies in stereo mode, and a bit more relaxed / confident in mono mode. Either way, the sound is absolutely consistent and coherent.


– good fine and coarse dynamics, but the STA-9 are only suitable to a limited extent for very high volumes.
– a flawless resolution, only the last bit of high-frequency tracing could be missing by meticulous listeners – it is praiseworthy that the precision of the STA-9 is not associated with any severity, it delivers a pleasant long-term sound image.
– a well-balanced voice or mid-range reproduction.
– a sufficiently open, stress-free and harshness-free high-frequency range, the highest altitude air cannot be sniffed quite as clearly with the STA-9.
– excellent spatiality: location sharpness and plasticity are in no way inferior to much more expensive amps.
– rather sober, but immaculate workmanship. The mechanical quality of the switches and interfaces is reliable.
– Efficiency: A STA-9 draws just under 13 watts when idling.
– by what it takes to be a price-sounding blast, if the attached loudspeaker fits, it is advisable to experiment with both the stereo and mono version.
