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??

I emailed the folks at Nuforce a couple of months ago and they said they would not be there. I guess it is possible for a dealer to bring the amps(?) I would love th hear a V2 version.

I have demoed the se v2`s a couple of times.
All times fully runned in and with reference caliber frontends.

The always had a strange mid/top colouration wich alwasy ruinned it for me.

The are also somwhat dark sounding .

I then demoed the linn klimax solos well the do cost 3 times as much but the sounded twice as good.
Musicality refinement and even bass slam are from a different world.

Sorry not to kick nuforce but the are getting way to much hype if you ask me.

thanks

Are you referring to Spectron Musician 3 SE V.2? What's the technology underlying the Linn Climax Solos?

No its nuforce ref 9 SE V2`s im referring to.

Linn klimaxes are analog amplifires that use digita powersupplys or smps like nuforce.

The use chips instead of the analog curcuits and have no capacitors in the extremly signal path.

Linn is the biggest tru hifi company in the world today and where those that started hifi back in the early 70`s with there sondek lp 12 vinyl player , the klimax series are the top of the line offering .

The also just released the klimax ds digital source that replaces the sondek cd12.

There are tons of info about the klimax solos on the net .

My apologies Tda2200 and all for my spectron/Nuforce confusion, I should remember not to post on any matters of substance unless I have had enough sleep. Glad you enjoy the Linn Klimax Solos. Unfortunately I find Linn sometimes to be a little exhuberant in the treble region for my particular preference. . . . Perhaps I don't understand true Hi Fi.
