Not Another NuForce thread......

Ok, first I am not shill or related to, or affiliated with NuForce in any way...I just thought that we should have a thread to discuss the V2...

I just placed the Reference 9 SE "V2" in my system after living with the NuForce 9 SE for the past year and auditioning the Reference 9 V2 for the past 2 months...

I am putting out there for comment and debate that the Reference 9 SE V2 is one of the top 5 best amplifiers out there and currently available. (I personally think that it one of the top 3, but I am leaving room for argument)

Sitting in my room last night I was reminded of one of those transforming audio experiences. My first ones was couple of hours with the Sinus Faber Amati Homage pushed with a full compliment of the top of the line ML gear all with in a perfectly treated room....My experience with the Reference 9 SE V2 was like that...

Please comment if you are able on the V2 in general, what was your experience?? Are your thought of the Reference 9 SE V2 the same??

Viclondon - Good Post. I agree the NuForce handle a broad range of music very well. I did find a weakness last night. After listening to some really well recorded music, I decided some U2 was in order. I was never more aware of just how compressed the Joshua tree disc was until that moment.

Now, recall I just got done listening to a wonderfully recorded live event (Diane Reeves; In the Moment) so I was really “In the Moment”, I am afraid that even the NuForce could not compensate for the compression that was the Joshua Tree disc. I was listening at very high levels (16/31 on the digital volume)so it was still a lot of fun.....just a little eye-opening.

PS: Unfortunately, this place is taking on a bit of the AA flavor that I could not take any longer.

>>NuForce bested my ARC VT100MKII hands down<<

Most amps will. The VT100MKII, like most ARC amps, is a dog.

Uh-oh. Another NuFarce dealer enters the fray. ARC probably turned him down when he tried to be a dealer. Is that what happened, Bill?

Now I am admittedly speechless. . . if NewForce has made short shrift of both Rotel and the mighty Bose. . . I shall withdraw in quiet awe of the Force of this staggering New giant!

Hi 9rw,
I have not made any request to handle the line. As a whole the products are overpriced, underachieving, obsolete, and low value.

They are a tough sell based on the balance of other products available.

An informed audiophile would know that. That leaves you out I guess.
