| Nuforce Well, I've had my Nuforce Ref. 9s for a few weeks now, and I have to say that I am VERY pleased with them. These amps are much more dynamic, have better bass extension and control and are much more revealing than my ARC VT-100 MKII. I've been an a... | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Nevillekapadia, I can't speak for Frank, but I had an opportunity to listen to the latest Meitner combo compared to the latest version of the APL Denon, and IMO, the APL sounded better (on both redbook and SACD). The decay of the instruments sound... | |
| balanced vs unbalanced I found that it depends on the amp. I had a Audio Research VT100 Mk II that I used single-ended for a few years. Then I switched to a front-end with balanced outs, so I switched to balanced interconnects and the sound improved significantly. The m... | |
| Nuforce Jp1208, I received the Reference 9s yesterday. They are the extended bass version and I'm burning them in now. I plan to put about 100 hours on them before doing any critical listening. I am running an APL Denon 3910 (the latest version) with bala... | |
| Nuforce Jp1208, I should get the pair tomorrow. I'll post my findings when they are broken in. I look forward to getting them. Amazing sounding amps! | |
| Nuforce Jp1208, I heard the 9.02s. I'm not sure what you mean between single ended vs. bi-wiring? I listened to them using balanced interconnects connected directly to my front-end (APL Denon 3910). My speaker cables are shotguns (Acoustic Zen double-barr... | |
| Long RCA ICs - which ones fit this bill? I would look into the Placette interconnects. Very very transparent cables. We listened to a very long run of Placette cables (not quite 25 ft) and compared them to a 1.5 meter pair, and they were almost indistinguishable. Also, they are very reas... | |
| Nuforce Jp1208, I just ordered a pair of the ref 9s with the extended bass option. Last night I had an opportunity to compare a Dartzeel NHB-108 with a pair of Ref. 9s. It was set up in my system, playing through a pair of Von Schweikert Audio VR-4jrs and... | |
| Liquid CD treatments? The same could be said for just about any piece of audio gear. The only way to tell if something is worthwhile is to listen with your own ears. Personally, I've heard improvements from liquid CD treatments and I also purchased the Reality Check (t... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? For you doubters, why don't you simply order a unit from George, and listen with your own ears? I'm sure George would happily refund your money if after actually LISTENING to the unit, you still have the same pessamistic point-of-view. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? The RealtyCheck duplicator is the real deal (IMO). I've compared 3 discs so far, and the RC discs have consistently sounded better than the originals. It's hard to imagine, but they sound like they reveal more information than the originals. I'm i... | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I meant to say I have the Ridge Stree Audio Poima !!! Signature power cable on my APL Denon 3910.Gary | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema Tvad, I have the Ridge Street Audio Poiema !!! Signature on my APL Denon 3910 and it made a significant improvement over the previous cable. No contest. Have you listened to any of the Ridge Street speaker cables? I currently use Acoustic Zen Sato... | |
| Absolute Best CD Players Out There Under $12k ? Deb - Maybe I'm missing something here. With regard to anyone who has stated his/her opinion about Meitner, it was precisely that... an opinion. How is somone's opinion of Meitner gear self-promotion?From your comments, you are referring to a spec... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? avguru, that's quite a list of units you've AB'd to your DV-50. Have you listened to the McCormack UDP-1 yet? That player is on my short list of universal players to audition. I'd be interested to get your experience comparing it to the DV-50. |
