New guy needs firstpre amp
Got my capri today. Gonna let it run for a while. But out of the box I can say that it runs really quiet and the range of usable volume is much much wider than the nuforce or my mac integrated. Now if I can just produce images with the same sharpn...

Thanks g. I looked at the threads.seems like there are some real fans out there. Also looks like the capri new is only priced a bit above the used ones on this site. Might just try and find a dealer to demo and buy new.Thanks again for your input!

Thanks G. I do like the balanced path. My cdp has a balanced layout as well. Like the idea of having the choice. I am hoping that someone will have a slightly cheaper suggestion. And I have a week or so to pick one out. The Pass Labs products seem...

G - Yea - that might be it. Do you have any personal experience with jrdg pre's?

G - That looks really nice.Can I have $2000?A little out of my range for now. I sold by integrated for 3300 and planned on spending 4500 on a pre/power for now. I found a pair of V2se's for 2600 so I have 2kish for a pre.So there is the nuforce be...

TSounds like this isn't the first problem you have heard about. Have there been others?

I had not looked at it from that angle, but can't really argue with you either. The p9 demo was not part of their usuall demo process though.On their web site, they offer auditions for the monos. So I called the to arrange a demo. While on the pho...

More conversation with nuforce. They gave me directions to open the pre and move a jumper to cut the gain by 1/2. So I gave it a shot but when I opened it up it didnt really look like he picture. Turns out that the demo version i was sent has an o...

Thanks again. I talked to nuforce. Part of the issue is fixable, part is intentional. There is a jumper that I can close to cut the gain in half. But in their literature they talk about the gain being linear as opposed to other pre designs where t... 
Migration to Seperates
Judsauce - Have had the chance to spend a week with the nuforce products. The P9 pre and the v2se monos. Pulled the jumpers on my mcintosh and mixed and matched.I really like the nuforce monos. Very strong in terms of imaging. I like the pre to ex...

Tvad - Thanks! New to all of this...Is there somewhere I can go to reaserch the gain of different pre amps?

Guidocorona - I let everything settle for a few days and the nuforce set up sounds much better. Is it possible for an amplifier to contribute to imaging? Becase that is the change that is most obvious as I moved over to the p9/SE combo away from m...

guidocorona - sounds more reasonable than anything i can come up with.another question for you - I am using the p9 pre from nuforce with the amps right now and the usable volume range seems to be from "0" to "4" out of 70 or so steps. So there is ...

Guidocoronaany idea why they need to run for a while after travel? Not that I doubt it, just that I dont understand it. And you would think that the rep who sent them to me would want to show them in the best light and tell me to wait a week. But ...
