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??

Aponter4: Well, you're the one who broke the news about the Ref 10. I'll defer to you, but we can only imagine what kind of improvements the v2 will offer. Dynamics to die for, silky highs, rock-solid bass and a tube-like midrange. It will make all other amps even more obsolete.

9rw for a dollar you can contact audiooracle, being he is a nuforce dealer. Get a pair for in home audition for a month. You may have to wait a bit its my understanding nuforce cant keep ref 9se v2 in stock. Then if your ears can describe the words you used above great. If not then all of those other amps out there are for your calling. If you are happy with what you already have thats great to.
viclondon what you said above is so true, you dont have to upgrade at all thats your call. After a few days under my amps belt i am glad i went with v2 upgrade, a no brainer for sure.
No matter what gear i am using, i listen to the music not the system, its the music i love.

Stltrains,

>>After a few days under my amps belt i am glad i went with v2 upgrade, a no brainer for sure.<<

I second that!! I don't have the SEs, I have the Ref 9s, and they are wonderful sounding amps. The upgrade was indeed a NO BRAINER. While everyone else is debating about the merits of Class D amps and Nuforce's continuous upgrades, I am enjoying music like never before!

I personally believe that any company who rests on their laurels and stops innovating is dead in the water. The name of the game for any technology company is "Innovate Or Die". And the fact that Nuforce is offering its customers an upgrade path to their latest innovations is a tremendous service.

Hello Ggil, yes these little brutes are a super vehicle to get to musical nirvana. I was up till late last night playing lp after lp. I have a good selection of my favorite music, classic rock and roll. A few of Tom Ports hot stamper lps Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon, Santanas Greatest hits, along with other great sounding lps. My musical enjoyment was fulfilled to the max.
