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??

Wait 'till the reference 10 comes out, as early as 1/08, and you will then all believe in travel in time and in wormholes!
Well all i have my upgraded ref 9se V2 amps back. The new included bag is a nice touch. The crisp stamped V2 on the front panel is nicely done. After getting them wired and playing cds i was struck by the detail and air in the upper end. I play vinyl when in the sweet spot. My cd player is not in the same league as my analog gear. This is the best i have heard cds sound in my system. It was quite pleasing.
The time came for vinyl and again a step up in what 9se could deliver. The noise floor is bottomless. The attack of notes is crisp and precise, decay is surly well defined. Bass is strong, present, and tight. Sound stage is deep and wide, and imaging is spot on. Being that my ref 9se amps were well broke in, out of the box i am quite pleased. The addition of V2 to already fine amps is a real plus.
Speaking on vinyl gear a few posts above were discussing nuforce with tubed equipment. I have a ear 834p modded and tube rolled, its a good match with my nuforce gear. It now is a back up though.
My tom evens groove plus srx is as good a phono amp around.
IMHO
Anyone compared Nuforce to Audiosector Patek chip amps? I have the Pateks (running them XLR bridged), and have found them quite pleasing, with many of the attributes I am reading about in this thread (they are the SS amps 6Moons likes)
Aponter4: I believe! And in 6/08 the Ref 10v2 will be yet another order of magnitude better!
Yea cant wait, for just a few more dollars i again will have the latest and best nuforce amps, my warranty will start over again. The best part for those who dont want to upgrade, they wont have to! i will though.
