NuForce vs Bel Canto


Greetings Agoners!

I am interested in trying some Class D mono blocks and was wondering if anybody has done an A-B comparison between the NuForce 9 v2 SE (or any version) and the Bel Canto Ref500 or Ref1000 MK 2 series?

Thanks in advance for any input!
:-)

Cluade, I just wanted to say/add. Being a owner of the Bel Canto 1000, Spectron Musician mark ll, and the Nufoirce 9V SEs, you have before you some of the best names in Class D. I truly love and respect them all for what they do, and quite honestly and in all honesty, to say one sounds better, or is better overall is hard pressed for me. I can be sitting at home enjoying music, with any of them and get to a certain CD, and all of a sudden I get the urge to hear that CD using a one of the other models, switch them out, and just go on enjoying my music. They ALL have brought and continue to bring me quite a lot of joy musically. But if I were to let one of them go, it'd be the Spectron, and that would ONLY be to go to a higher priced model. But I only see myself parting with anyone of these when I depart this life, they are all wonderful peices ones in which one really can't go wrong if they are in sync with the rest of your gear. I write this not as an Audiophile, Tech, or any other of the nomenclatures used in this hobby to describe, just a poor guy blessed in that I am able to enjoy this wonderful pusuit of musical enjoyment. Thank you all for letting me comment, and taking the time to read my jibber.
Claud1e, I do apologise for having mispelled your name, please forgive. Also forgot to mention, and had forgot overall about my Wyred ( top model )mono blocks. Igave them to my son, which paired with a Mark Levison preamp,
ADS speakers, and Sony CDP is creates wonderfull sound.

Thanks a bunch for your post! After much reading and poking around, I had come to the realization that these 3 Amps would appeal to me in one way or another. Furthermore, that they would ALL be a good choice. So Thanks for verifying for me! :-)

I'm still sitting on the fence as I have yet to hear any of them... I'm not in a real rush at the moment so I will keep my eyes peeled when I travel and get some listening in before I buy.

Class D amps over time tend to get uninvolving and dry for my tastes. I have heard NuForce at my buddies house and he didn't keep them long. I have not heard the latest NuForce offerings. I heard Bel Canto at another buddies and liked them much better. He must have liked them because they stayed in his system for over a year.
In audio ever thing is system matching what works with your gear. Nuforce amps will tell how good ever thing up stream is. My nuforce amps are very very musical sounding and work very well with my system that is why i have stuck with them so long. The new 18's are in a whole new league than the other models. Their amps have always got my foot to tapping.
