| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Both were purchased used, so I'm assuming (I know, a big assumption) that both were broken in already. I'm pretty sure the Nuforce was, as I bought it from a reviewer. I'm pretty sure, but not certain, that the Capri had been run in pretty good to... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Csmgolf and Macro: I will be keeping both pieces in my system for the next few weeks. However, to macro's point, I have been switching in and out with the Sunfire pieces and the Nuforce and Capri, both together as a unit and individually, all comb... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire Markwatkiss: HA, that's funny. The good news is things sound really really good right now. I have the cash to make it better, but it hasn't happened so far. I haven't given up, I still want that "AH HA" or OMG moment, but I think I've got to get o... | |

| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire I was just discussing this with John B, aka jb8312, and I believe that (in addition to room condition) it's very likely that people have different levels of ability to hear/perceive differences in sound via electronics and speakers. Some can't hea... | |
| What's wrong? Nuforce/Capri no better than Sunfire John:I'm not running to sell them yet, lol! I am going to keep them around for a while. But I've got to tell you, I'm kind of stunned that nothing dramatic is happening here, so figured I'd reach out to the agon community to get some opinions. Reg... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Sorry, haven't been around for a while. Kenobi, actually no, the Capri hasn't been the answer to my prayers. It sounds perfectly fine, and over time has begun to sound slightly better than the Sunfire pre/pro's "source direct" mode (it's best equi... | |
| Reducing PC Jitter What did you wind up doing? | |
| Help/Advice Choosing SS integrated Mapman's right, MF stuff seems to be well regarded and well reviewed. From my perspective, I've heard the NAD M3 and the McIntosh MA6500 against each other on some Sonus Faber speakers, and the Mac won hands down: more forward, more alive, more in... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Well, went for a preamp first. About to pick up a Rowland Capri and see what that does for my system. I have noticed lately some hum and crackle from my mids and tweeters. Not sure if that's just low level amp noise or what. Also, have a little gl... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Tvad, I hear you, but the synergy issue is exactly what I'm trying to establish by dialogue on and reserach of these boards. It is clear to me that there is a good synergy between Class D like Nuforce/Spectron and tube preamps like Modwright (and ... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Ha. I assume that was facetious? | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Tvad, you are absolutely right about the diving in part. I've been researching preamps for some time and have been waffling between Dodd, Modwright 9 or 36.5 and now the new Isabella from Red Wine (although no HT passthru, as well as VTL and BAT. ... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Tvad, thanks so much for your responses. Not sure what you meant by "The bass impact issue is one that might be affected by the power output specs of the NuForce Ref9V2SE". Did you mean affected positively (more impact) or negatively (less impact)... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Thanks for responses so far. As I step up in the world of hi fi, clearly there is no perfect fit. I am very happy with the sound of my setup, but I've caught the bug and am now looking to make it even better if I can within my restrictions of low ... |
