Nuforce

Mmakshak and Jp1208, as you know I too am very impressed with the Speltz cables and consider them potentially a best buy of this century in the audio industry.

Since the Speltz made my old pair of $3500 ics sound veiled in the highs and bloated in the bass, I suppose I could say a pair of Speltz Anti-ICs are worth at least 35 times their sale price.

However, there are a few even better performing scs and ics that are still quite reasonably priced.

For example the Audio Tekne ics and scs provided me a significant improvement over the Speltz' cables including a nice doze of musicality. Considering the outrageous prices of some cabling, the Audio Teknes which are one of the very best I've heard to date, should also be considered a tremendous bargain. Especially when the Tekne's performance appears to be without compromise.

Moreover, the Teknes are a beatiful match with the fabulous Nuforce SEs.

If you should ever try them, keep in mind they will sound like a pair of poorly engineered silver ics for the first 100 or so hours.

-IMO

I recieved a pair of 9.02's yesterday. Supposedly partially broken in. First impression, really quiet, pretty dynamic, they're good but I'm not sold yet. One issue is the EMI/RFI.

Couple of questions.

What changes can I expect after full break-in? How can I cut the EMI/RFI noise? What power cables work well with them?

Where and how is the noise manifesting?

As soon as I turn on the amps my Squeezebox picks up static and all of the baby monitors go to full-blown, loud, static.

My serious listening is done via my cd player, but I love & don't want to give up the Squeezebox for casual listening. Also, most of my serious listening is at night after the kids & wife go to bed. My wife won't like a loud, staticie (sp?) baby monitor in her ear all night.

The Squeezebox is on the same dedicated circuit. The monitors are in other parts of the house.

After listening some more, the low noise of the units really lets a lot of detail come thru that I didn't know was there. Plus I've never heard such tight bass from my Vandersteens.

Ecruz - this is off topic, but I am in the same boat...listening at night, with kids, and their monitors...when I am home that is-

Although this might not fix your interference issues with the NuForce, check out Sony's Babycall monitors. They are voice activated. That means that they don't make a sound [no static] until the child makes a noise. Once there is a noise at the sending unit, it will kick-on for as long as the noise persists, then shuts off after a couple of seconds.

I use two [one for each kid] in my basement listening room/HT. They also have changeable channels/frequencies so you can have two that don't interfere with each other. Since they run silent until a problem, I can enjoy the quiet. These are a MUST HAVE for any audiofile/videophile with kids.

Good Luck
