Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks?
The dramatic improvement you seek could easily be provided by the NuForce products. I love my NuForce amps and their transparent sound. They replaced a 3K tube amp in my system. NuForce customer support is also a dream come true. There may be no r... 
I've come to the realization...
Friends, the alert Tvad has read carefully and discerned my inconsistency.I have made a blunder. I refered to the Cardas Golden Cross I do own, as the Cardas Golden Reference I do not.Long live Golden Cross.Thank you for the opportunity to clarify... 
I've come to the realization...
It's been several weeks... and I have had a chance to try the Speltz Anti-IC's that were so highly recommended. I was very impressed by the sound: Overall, very cohesive top to bottom, no areas of the spectrum highlighted, same with dymamics very ... 
digital amp, rowland 201,nuforce?
I demoed these two products (Rowland 201 and the Nuforce 8.02), and found the Rowland had only slightly (!) greater control over the bass (with 150 additional wpc one would have expected this) and a slightly more resolved noise floor. In all other...

to Gregm,Thanks for the question,Since I don't have an equalizer in my system, I think its quite possible that part of the spectrum that's troubling my ears is wider or lower than I suggested on my post.Any one have some speltz/eichman that they w... 
I've come to the realization...
To JJ2468,My sensitivity extends to surface noise and pitch variation as well (from off-center records). No more vinyl for me, even though I have many hundreds of records. Not to mention the cost of a turntable, phew! I got used to having a good o... 
NuForce Reference 8 vs. 9
I am not wanting to catch anyone on a technical point, or to argue ...And, I still don't feel settled about this issue. The Gallo bass driver has a second voice coil. Your note to Jason at Nuforce does not make this distinction clear to me. Though...

What is the best phono preamp you have heard?
