The Nuforce made FM reception almost impossible. It messed with the Tivoli One of a friend of mine while auditioning the amp at home. This situation was a little better with a sSiltech shielded cable.
Now some say that FM reception is not important. Maybe, but that is not the real question. Remind that almost every audiophile wants an RF/EM free enviroment, for the blackest background, noise free purer tone. And for that lot's of them use shielded power cords on their digital gear (CD and DAC) for less interference and better music. I've never heard about a CD or DAC making interference in radio reception!! The NOISE made by this amp is really a issue.
Just for the record, the Bel Canto class D amp that were also demoed made FM reception possible.
At the end the question is "who want's a amp that causes RF noise?".
PS- This comments are aonly about the noise question and not about the sound of the amp.
