Nuforce

Matrix & Drubin,

Your comments on the Nuforce for Ref 8 or 9? Are they almost the same ?

regards

I heard the 9's both basically the same design from what I understand but more power with the 9.

It was the 8 that I heard. I have the impression the 9's sound different.

I have the ref8 on my second system,can you guys check
your cabling? maybe some of you, who did not like them,
did not synergise in your system,I just hook them up
last night,I think this are very very good amps,I will
seriously listen to them in onother 3 days.The amps
that I will be comparing,are Plinius SA100 and Oddyssey
Stratos extreme, So will see, if they will dethrone my
2 amps.But I am quite surprise already.

The cost of parts argument is just weak.

Example: the doctor gives a prescription. The pills cost pennies to make but cost you a buck. Profit? Research? Marketing?

Example: a consultant spends an hour and charges you a thousand dollars. You pay for his/her years of experience, not an hour's worth of time.

What is a very good idea worth? More to some, less to others.

Get off the amp comparison for a minute - just listen to various higher end CD players - they sound good but different. Is the price differential justified? Yes for some, no for others. Which is 'right?' It's up to you.

I liked the NuForce 8Bs. Am breaking in the reference 9s now. Can tell you they sound good. Good to me is not necessarily good to you. My reference amp is tubed. I may not miss it. Haven't decided yet.
