Nuforce V3 mod

Well, I bit the bullet and lined up in the cache for the upgrade. Thank you all for input as I obsessed. BTW there is a Nuforce room over on Audio Circle that is also discussing the V3, including Chris Marten's initial thoughts. I have not found much on Asylum. Again the folks at Nuforce were super nice on the phone, prompt, clear, and helpful in communication. So Merry Christmas to me! And of course Merry Christmas to you'all as well.

Merry Christmas to you all and enjoy the music every chance you can.

At 140 or so hours, I noted the same problem Edgar Kramer observed at 100 hours. Everything fell apart. It was not as bad as out-of-the-box, but really muddled. Now, at 250+ hours of burn in, what a wonderful set of amps. Fabulous in all levels of performance, but most importantly they are musical. I love them. I predict you will not find many, if any, on the used market. Maybe if the Reference 18s hit it out of the park?

NuForce changed the faceplate on the upgraded amps from the new ones, but so what? I will not be selling mine in the foreseeable future.

I fell on ice the day after Christmas and broke my leg - surgery and now at home on bed rest for six weeks or more. Since I travel for my self-employed work it is a big income hit but I still think I can swing the V3 upgrade. Meanwhile as of yesterday I can crutch myself to the sound room and will have all day to listen. The first thing I put on was a Bach Organ CD that transported me away from the stress and into a place of beauty. Once again this hobby proves a priceless grace within my life.

Sorry about the ice accident, Gammajo. I hope you heal quickly and get back onto both feet soon. Yes, thank goodness we have our music to keep us calm during the stressful times.
