| Nuforce V3 mod Well, I received the 9V3SEs today, and out of the box, they sound terrible. I hope the burn in transforms them into the amps everyone else is describing.Mark | |
| Nuforce V3 mod Jason,Does the volume -- high or low -- make a difference in terms of the length of the burn in?Mark | |

| Nuforce V3 mod I am in the NuForce upgrade queue, so likewise am very interested in your impressions. Anyone know anything about the Reference 18?Mark | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones I am considering upgrading from Nuforce Reference 9SE to Nuforce Reference 9 V3 SE. Anyone heard the Nuforce Reference 9 V3 SE? The upgrade path seems reasonable to me.Mark | |
| We often underate the importance of the DAC I agree. Once you use a USB driven dac with a lossless format, you will not go back to a transport.Mark | |
| What happened to the loudness control? A loudness contour is designed to compensate for the long-recognized Fletcher-Munson curve, which dates back to 1933 and now is memorialized in ISO 226:2003. The problem is not with the equipment, but with the human ear: at lower volumes, bass and... | |
| Is USB overrated as decent digital source? USB is underrated. I am using a Bel Canto DAC-3 with a USB port. It sounds just as good as a CD as long as you rip with a loseless format, like wma. The DAC-3 set on the USB input sounds better than any CD player I have used or heard, which has mo... | |
| Amps For Revel F52? I liked the Bel Canto REF1000s when I was driving Revel F50s. The Revels come alive with power. | |
| Best ICE-powered amps ? I cannot comment on the other amps, but can say that I love the Bel Canto REF1000s driving my B&W 803Ds. | |
| Opinions on the Bel Canto Evo 4 Gen II We own four Bel Canto amps: (2) REF1000s, an S300 and an eVo4. I have had an opportunity to compare the monoblock REF1000s against the bridged eVo4 using an Integra DTC-9.4 and Revel Performa F-50s. The eVo4 bridged is an incredible amp in its own... | |
| Solid state amp for Von Schweikert vr4jr's I second Jack's suggestion: The Bel Canto S300. Wonderful, tight and clear. | |
| What Is Best Monoblocks For Around $10,000 Used? Why spend $10,000? Bel Canto REF1000. This is a monoblock that kicks out 500W into 8 ohms and 1000W into 4 ohms with a damping factor over 1000 and THD under 0.007%. The REF1000 has extraordinarily clear midrange and top end, combined with bass co... | |
| Best SS Amp with tight clean bass I am not an electrical engineer and do not understand the technical side of the numbers, but I think what you are looking for is an amp with a high damping factor. "When one amplifier's damping factor is higher than another's, that tells you that ... | |
| Anyone heard the Bel Canto EOne REF1000's? We own five Bel Canto amps: (2) REF1000s, an S300 and an eVo4. I have had an opportunity to compare the monoblock REF1000s against the bridged eVo4 using an Integra DTC-9.4 and Revel Performa F-50s. The Revels are 5 ohm speakers. Also, in case you... |
