"D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why?

This months The Absolute Sound has a review of Nuforce Ref 9 SE V2 amps that Chris Martens gave a very positive review of.

I have been using these class d proprietary amps for quite a while. I took my standard Ref 9 of almost three years ago through Nuforce upgrade plan to SE then V2. The upgrades being very reasonable and well worth the small price for the latest technology IMO. The first version to my ears did not have the problems that Martens refers to in the new review, he did the original ref 9 back in TAS issue 158.

Nuforce like most audio companies offer an in home trial for system matching.

My system with class d powering it has won over my doubts with superior sound and total musical enjoyment. I am not pushing these amps just giving my experience with class d.

Vicdamone did not intend to double up on what you have said. I wrote the post and got side tracked for awhile then made the post with out going back to the thread.

Your response tells it like it is. Its also true that not all like milk in there coffee.

The review of Nuforces Ref 9 SE V2 in Decembers The Absolute Sound is a good example of how Class D has evolved. A very positive review by a first rate rag.

I have been on this ride from the beginning with Nuforces class D amp, my first NF Ref 9 of three years ago. The latest version V2 like i suspect of most class D amps mentioned above is far superior to the first versions of these super revealing amps. The truth is these amps are so revealing that if the rest of your system is not up to it you hear the weakest link and its not the amps.

What i dont understand is the wasted time on advising something to someone who like a lot of others i have encountered on this subject who just like to pick and make statements with out any merit. As for Coffeeys negativity who cares i know i dont. We are free to buy and enjoy what we like.

I dont know about other manufacturers of these super amps but in Nuforces case upgrades are offered to there customers. You are not stuck with the old and can easily move up the the newest technology. As good as that business sense is the real reason for my owning these class D amps is they take my system to levels i thought not possible with power, speed, clarity and hours upon hours of music with out fatigue.

Ait your quote

"Since others have not seemed to experience the same, all I can say is that the implementation of class D is highly dependent on the rest of your system"

This is why most manufacturers and dealers have gone to a in home audition. I tried different pre amps with my system including Nuforces P-9 and it took the tubed Audio Horizon 2.1 to create the magic sound i was looking to hear with my system.

I am happy for all who can get sound that blows there skirt up and makes there ears happy no mater what gear is used. Good for you Ait way to tell it like it is. I'm sure thats why there so many manufacturers with so much gear available thats making a living in this hobby.

Variety is the spice of life.
