| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Hi Jeff,Thanks much for your feedback regarding the Capri. It'll be interesting to hear the paring with the Nuforce Ref 9SE V2 as I have the MCH3SE (multi-channel equivalent to the monos). I think the Nuforce will give you better clarity, transpar... | |

| Iso Clean Fuses Well, if you don't trust the judgment of those who posted their experiences and not willing to spend the dough, then this is a non issue. Just be happy with what you have. | |

| Extension cord tv /dvr to power conditioner Why not get a nice power strip or distribution center to allow room for growth. If you want further conditioning, get a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet for $150 or so or a UPC-200 (4 outlets). Lastly, you can get a nice thick gauge extension cord from Ho... | |

| Any DACs will improve my Rega Saturn? I like the VALAB DAC offered thru ebay. This unit in my system beats the Bel Canto DAC3 for sheer musicality. It is $200 delivered. You can read up on it on head-fi.orgKenobi | |
| Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them Yes, I believe this is a great amp. I have the MCH3SE C7 which is very similar to the REf 9SEV2 w/ Nuforce's P9. Could be finicky with analytical cablings but with slightly warmish but high resolution variety, this amp truly shines.Kenobi | |

| jeff rowland 501 & 201 vs. bel canto ref1000 I once owned the BC Ref 1K MKI for over 6 months. At first, I was flabergasted by the thick and chunky midrange and the overall power. However, I found that soundstage was truncated and there was a lack of air on top. And while bass was strong, it... | |
