I just want to mention that you should try Pro-golding(is that a word?) the Volex power cord. I did(with the nuforce ref 8b), and it made a big difference. I didn't do it very well, but I used the 100%.
What Gives? NuForce Reference 8 100wpc Mono's
These amps look like an intriguing offering, I checked out their website and apparently they are for real.
Has anyone heard this new switching amp technology? Top quality parts and inovative design, to be sure. Said to compare favorably with all the other Class D and Class T amps, Bel Canto, PS, Rowland, Tripath, H2O, Spectron, Tact, ICEpower etc.
I read several rave reviews with users (who usually like what they buy [I know I do], so these must be taken with a grain of salt or two).
$1600 pair, sort of sounds too good to be true.
I am always looking for amps that:
1) Sound great and image well
2) Run cool
3) Don't take up much space
4) Don't break my back
5) Don't break the bank
Could my train finally have come into the station?
Right now I am using a CJ MV-60 with Gallo Ref 3's and am wanting to find out what else these amazing speakers can do with more power behind them, not that I am complaining, I'm not.
TweakGeek has the NuForce available for demo, but I'm way down in the queue. Can anyone help to satisfy my curiosity and let me know a little more about the sonics?
Thanks,
earthy

Not wanting to be too hasty, Adamay, after two more months of critical evaluation of the Nuforce Reference 8's... I will be selling my reference tube amplifier and all the others in favor of the Nuforce amps. In my system, and for my ears and money, and in extensive A-B tests the Nuforce has proven more satisfying in every way. Shanling CD-T100 Sonic Euphoria TVC Passive preamp Gallo Reference 3 VH Pulsar interconnects Goertz M1-2 Speaker Cables I also want to say that the folks at Nuforce, Maria, Jason, and Casey (the most audiophile savvy of the three) have been quite helpful to me, letting me know about updates and upgrades of these new amps. As a result I feel confident that Nuforce has it figured out that customer service is at the heart of boutique audio. Those interested in another opinion on NuForce may wish to read this. for the music... |
