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??

Very impressive Audiooracle. You forgot to mention the identity of your current business. . . If you were wondering about the origin of my morbid curiosity, I am still itching to find out the name of the $21K SS sacred cow which NewForced creamed with such aplomb. Or does thy moniker connote that classically minded propensity towards eternal obscurity, indirection, and even misdirection, like in the pronouncements of Delphi, sybilla, and all other true oracles of old?
Viclondon, I was not aware that the thread was open to true believers only. . . is there something I am missing?

Impressive portfolio. Only forgoten that you've attended Mars as Alf's audio consultant... And, of course, add Paris Hilton as your close friend... And all others out there commiting suicide knowing such a big gun exists on this humble forum!!!

"How can a set of amplifiers which cost 1/2 to 1/4 of the price of these mondo expensive amplifiers be over priced, if anything the Nuforce products are a bargin!"

Audiooracle - 1/2 or 1/4 of sth's price should be bargain, until you list internal parts included. Tell us what superior-tech part into the NF box is so expensive (transformer, caps, colling devices... - I am listing usually priciest ingredients)? Not to mention big, expensive chassis the big boys possess...

I have listened NF 8s and found sterile and boring, easily beaten by mid-priced amp like Parasound Halo A21. Can't beleive that 9 series in any incarnation incl. V2 SE might go much better...

MY OPINION: Nu Force comic boxes TOO EXPENSIVE in terms of technology inside, particularly in Europe. In reality, prices on approx. 1/4 level of current prices may be acceptable. 1250USD for a pair od 9 V2 SE - no one cent more!!!

my goodness do you people have anything better to do than not only look to start controversy, but keep stirring it. this thread was started to inform and interject nuforce gear. you dont like it no doubt, who cares i dont. if you want to start a thread do it and move on. you are making audiogon look like something other than an audio site. more like a group of ginny women.

Right on, controversy is a terrible thing. . . and that's exactly why it was rightfully barred for 70 years in the USSR, 25 years in Italy, 7 years in Greece, 11 years in Germany, 59 years in China. . . disperse now good people and cease disturbing the peace. . . or else!
