Whose got best class D at this point?


Bel Canto,PS Audio,Redwine what am I missing out there for either hi-effciency speakers like the Redwine Sig 30 (great review in 6moons and sounds like it would be great with Silverlines or my German horn Odeon Tosca's) or for current hungry speakers the PS GCA250 or Bel Canto 300.Think after years of onventional SS and tubes might want to take plunge but want guidepost to best bet for the money.
Thanks

I have a NuForce integrated with upgraded power supply (to 100 wpc) and upgraded to the V2 board. The V2 board appears to fix the RFI problem, which was very severe in my home. I had an early version of the integrated (I think) and when it was turned on, inexpensive FM radios were not usable for a radius far beyond 20 feet, more like 100 feet. Anyway, I think they made this better little by little over time in newer units, and with the V2 board I cannot detect any FM interference at all.

Also the V2 board does sound a little more extended on top and a little more detailed, while retaining the lovely liquid sound that NuForces seem to offer.

The combination of power upgrade and V2 board makes for a real nice sounding little power-house that is friendly to your neighbors FM radio (as far as I can tell).

I have had several chip amps including PS Audio, Nuforce, Trends, and just happened onto Channel Island VMB1 on audiogon with idea of a cheap second system. Boy was I surprised. I like it better that any of ones I have had. Go figure, only 40 watts but it sounds great.
Based on my experice with Bel Canto, Leviathon and Karma, the V2's of the NuForce amps have made a huge leap forward.

I have to say the Ref 9 SE V2 is one of the better amps I have every heard regardless of design.....
A couple of months ago I did a round of audition for amps to drive my Gallo Ref 3 II. I tried half a dozen of powerful amps in the $3,000-5,000 range, including the Bel Canto Ref 1000 (which I liked), but when I tried the NuForce SE9 v2 I immediately stopped searching: I found them head and shoulder above the competition and I brought them home
Whose got the best? Good luck in getting any sort of definite
answer. I am a believer in the Class D, T, Ice, Nuforce,etc. technology. I don't know who has the best or which technology is superior. I have an Audiosource Amp 7T I got off E-bay for a very modest sum. I am constantly surprised at how good it is. I will always have someone's "Class D" for my power amp.
