Nuforce

My review of the NuForce Reference 9 is now on my site toward the bottom of this page:

I don't know why they lumped us all together.

Nor do I have any idea what those new programs are. It has been over 1 month since they announced the change, but no details have come forward.

OK.......question for the gang:
Should small, "unknown" manufacturers (like us, for example) put in BIG letters on every post that we are manufacturers??? Personally, I am not in favor of that. There are guys who make numerous mindless posts (on other forums) just to get their name and URL in front of as many eyes as possible. But if that alleviates confusion, then perhaps we should here.

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."

*Simply put, the Nuforce amplifiers sound more like live music than anything I've ever heard.*

If one listens to and uses live music as one's reference, and providing the rest of your system is up to the task, the choice becomes clear.

The Nuforce amplifers replaced my reference Classe DR3 class A amplifiers which had fought and, up until recently, quite handily defeated amplifiers of all types and topologies in the cutting edge, revered underground and legendary classic categories.

I have spent an inordinant amount of money on audio over the years in order to realize that one doesn't have to.

I heard the 9's at a dealers with good equipment and they were no where near to giving a live experience.
Then again I have never heard any system give a live experience and never will.
Clarity yes, live no, and did I mention fatiguing?

A_t, that's the best idea proposed so far. Truth be told, I don't really care for it. First off, I just find uppercase offensive, sort of like shouting. Many, myself included use caps for emphisis. Others use may use upper case without realizing it's a code. Oh well, sorry to be so negative.
