Nuforce P-8S Preamplifier

Download The Abolute Sound Review of the Nuforce P8 (PDF)

The Nuforce P-8S is a 1U height remote controlled preamp for 2 channel listening. It was designed with the NuForce amplifiers in mind. That being said, it is still a terrific preamp for any amplifier.

NuForce developed its prescient preamplifier technology from the ground up to reassess and redefine faithful music reproduction.  The first impressions of listening to NuForce preamplifiers are those of pristine clarity, natural tonality, expansive imaging, and realistic proportions of the musicians and their instruments.  Bass notes are well defined and articulate, with addictive rhythm and drive.
