Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them


The new version of the Nuforce should have hit the shops a few weeks ago.
Has anyone heard them or upgrated their existing units.
I would be particoularly interested in comparisons within the range of the new v2: 9SE compared to 9 or to 8.
I am going to audition a 9SE v2 in a couple of days, but won't be able to try the others

Plato, What about the little clicky sound at power up, still there? Have you been under the hood yet? I'm guessing they got rid of the resistors across the terminals. Wish you were near by, a direct compassion would be interesting.

The click upon power-up is gone. History.

The volume control is still slow. I think there are remote key combinations that speed up the volume control but I've not figured that out yet.

Vic,

The turn-on/off relays have a minor low-level click to them if that is what you mean -- but it's so low in level that I can't see anyone objecting to it. Since you own the 9SE's already, the upgrade to V2 is highly recommended. Jason at NuForce believes that the standard Ref 9 V2 sounds better than the original Ref 9SE, FWIW.

NuForce is using a Zobel network on the outputs now that shouldn't be tampered with, but seems to work much better than the old parallel capacitor.
hello Plato and thanks for your impressions of V-2, i have the cap cut on my SEs like it better that way. but from what you are saying nuforce has done some work on that as well. along with the V-2 upgrade it sounds pretty much a no brainer to get the upgrade. i have a week vacation planed, when i went from ref 9 to SE nuforce had them back in town in less than a week. going to schedule thanks again.
That sounds like a good plan Stltrains. Yes, from what I'm hearing, it's a no-brainer. The new version definitely beats the original even with the caps cut out, which is the way I was using them.
