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 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

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 .

thanks

Thanks for your honesty, i was a victimog to the same thing yestoday.

I have extremly sesitiv ears and cant stand hot treble and i dont like hifi sound i like music and musicality.
linn klimaxes are VERY sensitiv to the up stream gear used and the do not cover over lesser preamps and sources.

In my room the treble is sweet and linare no glare no brightness no nothing only music.

I do use sonus faber cremonas

Wonderfull combination by the way.
