| PS Audio A-100 compared to Bel Canto S300 Bill,If you're inclined, the MCH series of Nuforce amps are all equipped with the V2 boards. I just got confirmation from their VP, Casey Ng. It is great for both stereo as well as HT application. In my case, I have the MCH3SE-C7.Best regards,Kenobi | |

| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Guidocorona,Thank you for your confirmation. It took me a while, at least a few weeks for the sound to mature and probably a few months to where its at currently. Audiophiles are an impulsive bunch and not the most patient. I am also one. Lucki... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Guidocorona, Jim and anyone interested,Here's the review Ait did some time ago where he referenced the Nuforce Ref 9V2SE with others: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ramps&1205629120I believe this is an aberation, perhaps limited to... | |
| Harmonic Technology VS Acoustic Zen cables In my experience, the AZ is better, being more refined and better balanced from top to bottom w/in the same price range. Robert Lee, the founder of both companies. He's the reason for initial success behind both these companies and is still behind... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Ait,I think you need to mention that your assessment of the Gilmore amp as compared to the Nuforce was based on experience w/ your particular system where the Nuforce Ref 9SE V2 had issue with noise. I mentioned before that the Nuforce once proper... | |
