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??

Arbuckle, which NewForce amp iteration have you compared with which Pass device?

Arbukle --

The point I originally wanted to make with this thread is that the state of "Class D" has changed with the NuForce V2.

I enjoyed my SEs for a year, but in all honestly, once I moved into my larger space - I could not help but hear the digital-ness of the amps and was getting pretty itchy.

With the V2, all is right in the world. Since putting the Ref SE V2 in the mix, I have be zipping home each night excited to hear what I can get out of it next. Since putting it in, I have spent well over $500 on new music and hour of time rediscovering the old again. In short, the promise has been fulfilled, IMO.

I have nothing left to do but start with room treatments.

I tried the Bel Canto Ref-1000's in my system, and found the same thing as Lngbruno below- my FM tuner went crazy, and the television was snowy on certain channels. Has anyone found these issues with Nuforce?

So what about my question on the RFI and EMI concerns? Has this issue been fixed 100% in the V2? If so, I will give the amps another trial in my system. I just don't want to burn through some more time and money if this issue is still going to interfere with my turner.

Guidocorona my heart goes out to you, going it with out music. no doubt a advantage for class d, dont know if you have noted these reviews from http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue32/nuforce_v2.htm
http://www.stereotimes.com/comm070207.shtml
as you know no review can duplicate what a component will sound like to your ears in your music room.
jb8312s your comments above are well taken, very soon V2 will land in south louisiana,
music is such a big part in my life that i have planed my V2 upgrade to correspond with vacation.
i have read others feelings on the way nuforce is handling upgrades. i think its great i will have the latest technology with delayed payment. i started with standard ref 9, then SE, now V2, all in the same chassis,
this my be a little puzzling but the first upgrade was much more expensive. from what jb8312 and others i have said the musical improvement and over all performance is much greater with V2 for less money. i love lagniappe

Interesting reviews Stltrains. Do you  happen to know the damping factor for the Ref 9 V2 SE? I could not find it on the NuForce product page, although damping factor for the previous model 8 is indicated at 4K.
