Class D is just Dandy!

Uberwaltz, I would have to agree with you. I think we have the same Nuforce amp and I used to have the same Emotiva amps. The Nuforce sounds more like live music than the Emotiva amps ever did. The Nuforce even sounds more live than my Marsh A200 amp or Rotel Class D amp. That little Nuforce amp is small and unassuming but when turned on, it is amazing.

Welcome to the believers!
I think the Nuforce and now the Nuprime were/are very underrated class D amps and I have absolutely no intention of looking for a replacement for the ht rig anytime soon.
We cannot even get past 50 on the volume without it being literally too  much to bear for long. And that I mean in a good way, not that the sq has degraded but just it is more than our ears and room can handle or need to handle.

Seems like there's a great deal of very positive buzz (no pun intended) about the Bel Canto REF600M's, and at 5K/pr they're not in the stratosphere.  I wonder how they would sound against a 5K Pass design.

I would not mind auditioning a Primare I32 just to evaluate how far it has evolved from the I22 model.
Happy Listening!

The esteemed Mr. Pass has done so much for the DIY and audiophile community that I absolutely loathe to criticize him or his works in an open forum, especially since he is not the one participating, george is.

Instead, I will only say that you should spend money to satisfy yourself, not anyone else, including me. Listen for yourself. Buy what pleases you for whatever reasons they may be.

I go to bed tonight able to rest because I know every 4th or 5th message in this thread @georgehifi will be raining on our parade, like warm spring showers on a cloudless day.


Best,
