Not Another NuForce thread......
Chris -I agree with you and find the situation remarkable. I wish I had an answer but I don't. I will say that many of the extreme opponents that I have spoke with never spend a lot of time will switching amps in general and reached their conclusi... 
Not Another NuForce thread......
I wanted to point out that Bob Levi just posted his review of the NuForce 9 V2 SEs (mine to follow) and his thoughts are relevant to issues raised in this thread. i.e. comparisons to mega buck amps...Read Here:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issu... 
Whose got best class D at this point?
Based on my experice with Bel Canto, Leviathon and Karma, the V2's of the NuForce amps have made a huge leap forward. I have to say the Ref 9 SE V2 is one of the better amps I have every heard regardless of design.....

A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?

Jeez.....I go on vacation for 10 days and my thread jumps from 70 posts to 160!!!I still love the Nuforce Ref 9 SE V2...However, I lent the Ref 9 V2 to another review who used a Krell FBI Integrated as his "pre" and he thought it sounded thin........

Drubin - If you read my "post script" to my review linked in the posting above at Postive Feedback, I suspect you will get your answer...In short the Ref 9 V2 out performs the Ref 9 SE.... John 
Not Another NuForce thread......
Arbukle -- The point I originally wanted to make with this thread is that the state of "Class D" has changed with the NuForce V2.I enjoyed my SEs for a year, but in all honestly, once I moved into my larger space - I could not help but hear the di...
