I have the ref8 on my second system,can you guys check
your cabling? maybe some of you, who did not like them,
did not synergise in your system,I just hook them up
last night,I think this are very very good amps,I will
seriously listen to them in onother 3 days.The amps
that I will be comparing,are Plinius SA100 and Oddyssey
Stratos extreme, So will see, if they will dethrone my
2 amps.But I am quite surprise already. |
Correction above, I do have the ref9,I am finding that
they are excellent on my Diapasons,slam is just making
my wall shooked,the transient is quick,vocals are so
natural, they are very efficient on my Diapason, they
have a bass, I have never heard on my Diapason.I tried
them on my friend Andra II, to my surprise, they were
able to drive them not as good as DNA 500 McCormack,
and the CJ 350 but those are expensive amps.If you have
a monitor, I would think, it worth trying this amps. |
Obviously the Nuforce are not for everyone,some did
like them,some did not.In my case I happen to like them,
Jason I dont know you, I think you have something
special on this amp,one person I know He heard them
on the show, and did not like them,what kind a evaluation,
is that? In order to know if the amp are good, you
should hook them in your system,some are only interested
comparing them with their expensive amps,I know already
this amps are not as good as the CJ350, and the DNA500,
driving the Andra II,but at the end I respect everybody's
opinion.We are all created unique. |
I just hooked them on my Norh 6.9,synthetic marble,
the ref 9, are good match with these speakers also,
the system is not even warm, the musicality is
good, and they sound very impressive.I am hearing
something I have not heard before.The piano is just
so natural ,its sounds real to me, you can hear the
instrument very clear, because the layering is superb.
I can tell there is something special with the ref9.Thanks |
Jason the CJ350, is a Conrad Johnson 350, and the
DNA500 is the McCormack. |
Drubin, thank you for the clarification, according
to the dealer, they are the Ref 9 9.01 version,
also the dealer told me, they are probably not
completely broken in yet, so will see. |
Phd, I agree with Woodburger, the NF do have a
differrent sound than my Plinius and my Oddyssey
Stratos Extreme,I am trying to forget the sound
of my amps, otherwise I wont be able to evaluate
this NF accurately, or maybe I might end up bias
with what I have.I think I will request my dealer
to give me more time, so my ears will get acclimated
with the new sound.
Woodburger very good post. |
Grant, your post is very true though.I thought also
I only have the ref 9, not realising they are also
version 9.01.Of course its important to tell the buyer
the whole descriptions of the amps.Make sense to me. |
Phd I agree with you,there is a big responsibility
when posting here,thats why its fun when we are able to
help.I am not worried,because when I post, I tried
to be as honest as possible.I will email, after one
week, to see if there is anymore improvement.Again
to all who are interested on any gear,make sure, audition
them,and get 30 days trial. |
I am finding out that the Ref9 9.01 is more like
analog sounding,and I am able to play all my bright
sounding cd,plus the musicality got better.The decays
of the intruments are with extension and air.Its much
quicker now, maybe the dealer is right that it needs more,
burn in,now I have to try my Plinius again,to confirm
what Iam hearing,remember my SA100 it has tube sounding
quality.I am having fun listening with the NF. |
Ar t, thats why we have to audition first, before
making a decision,here at Agon you can get a good
feel about the gear you want to buy,You see? I like
the Nuforce Ref9 9.01, it does not mean it will
work for everyone.This is only simple common sense,
My experience tells me, I should not listen all
the time for what I read here, but I use them for
reference.Anyone who will recommend and for the wrong
motives thats not acceptable of course, thats why
we have to be careful, ask more members to confirm
it.They are many knowledgeable member here, who can
really help. |
