RE: nuprime (check TBI millenia out too)

yes, i'm familiar with both nuprime and nuforce, but $400 is both out of my budget, and an upgrade block as they're integrated amps. for now, i'm just looking for a CHEAP (for ME, cheap = $50ish) temporary amp until i start upgrading. before investing in a nuprime, i'd just get a use parasound Z amp for about $120 and use my DAC as a preamp, and if the Z amp is as sweet sounding, detailed and spacious as a review claimed, keep it and buy a second for mono bridging or even dual mono bi-amping don the road.

$400 is too much for a stepping stone amp, but the reviews i've read for nuforce and it's nuprime spinoff gear have been favorable, if noting a bit of dryness in the sound.

getting up to that range, the 32wpc TPI millenia used to be described as an over the top giant killer a few years ago. i considered one back then, but as the miniphilharmonitors i have my heart set on are low 80dB efficient, probably even 50wpc in't going to cut it for medium level listening.
