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've heard that the heat "issue", is just do to where they place the components inside the chasis on the V2. Which, I guess, is slightly different than where they were on the V1.

I plan to have my Ref 9's upgraded to V2 when they reduce the backlog. But I'm wondering if I should try a tube pre first?

Right now, I run my digitally modded SB3 into a Lite DAC AM and then straight to the amps.

Speakers are Vandersteen 3A's. I've never heard any amp control them like the Ref 9's
