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 own the Reference 9SE's and have been blow away with the sound. I run them with Dali MS5's and experience ZERO listener fatigue. For me cables and power conditioning seem to be a moot point. This has never been the case with any other amplifier that I have owned. The 9SE's are so clean and clear that I find myself pushing the volume to insane levels. I am in the line to get the upgrade to 9SE V2's. I should be sending mine in, in about two to three weeks. My Cd player is a Modwright 999ES without the clock or new power supply. Everyone that listens agrees the sound is simply awesome. The 9SE's are the best amps that I have heard or owned.
To the person that said "zippy highs" I say huh? That describes most other amps I have heard, not these. I know as I have suffered from "bleeding ears" my entire audio life until I got the BAT 300XSE and now these.
Can't wait for the upgrade!!

Is your glass half full? What in life doesn't chance. Cars are updated every year, TV's just about every week (lol)everything is improved for the better or cheapened to sell more. This is a young company that makes a great product. $800 to upgrade from V1 to V2 is cheap considering. I could live ever happy with my 9SE's they are that good. $800 to upgrade them to even better--- WOW! My glass is always full and running over. Everyone that listens to my system is amazed at the sound. I am not affiliated with the company in any way, I am just a consumer.

Stlrains is right!!!!

You serotonin deficient people are hunting the wrong dog.

My upgrade price is the current new price and the warranty starts over.

Negative for the sake of negative boys and girls.

Stop it.

Reviews say that as good as they are the latest version is even better. I have the faith.

I got my notice to send mine in for upgrade. They are being sent tomorrow. As I said I am very happy with the sound of my 9SE's and can't wait to hear the V2 version. To my ears cables make less improvement to these then any other amps that I have owned. They are just so clean and clear without that "edge". One more point and that is these are the first amps that I have owned that I like just as much during the day as at late night. All other amps that I have owned could only be listened to late at night when the power supply was "less dirty"; that is to say if you wanted them to sound there best.

I got my 9SEV'2s back from upgrade.
Yes they doooo need a break in, and I have run mine in for 100 hours. Before break in holy bass and fog and mist. I felt like I needed to move them 10" feet further out from the wall. Now all I can say is I have nirvava with my system. I feel no need to change anything, and honestly my system sounds better then live music. It is so clean and clear and "full". Happy! Yes the V2's in my opinion are a step up from from the 9SE's.
