Nuforce

I know already this amps are not as good as the CJ350, and the DNA500, driving the Andra II

Jayctoy, thanks for your kind comment. But he he he he, I think the above statement should include a certain version and model of the amp :). In a few more weeks, we'll have some announcement to make and everyone will know our product roadmap. Every product that we introduced are carefully positioned in a grand scheme ;).

Jason from NuForce

Jason the CJ350, is a Conrad Johnson 350, and the
DNA500 is the McCormack.

I think he meant a certain model of his amp.

I'm pretty sure that one of the things that really muddies the issue is that people get used to whatever sound they've had, and when they try a demo unit at home IT ISN'T what they are used to hearing. I am going through that right now. Different may or may not be better, but it is different and you have to allow for that.

Example: compared to my reference tube amp, the NuForce Reference 9s have a much more dynamic sound. Is it better? My experience has been affected by the bloom of tubes. I have to refresh my thinking in terms of dynamics, soundstaging, clarity, bloom/compression, bass and treble extension. The change isn't a familiar sound (yet) since I am so used to the tube effect. BOTH are, to my ear, excellent. But different.

Drubin, thank you for the clarification, according
to the dealer, they are the Ref 9 9.01 version,
also the dealer told me, they are probably not
completely broken in yet, so will see.
