| Nuforce Repair? NuForce having been sold is sad news to me. As a past 9 SE's owner I dealt with them personally at the Milpitas location. What an energetic, innovative, and responsive group. | |

| Tube Phono Stage with balls, and slam!! Uniformity in the recording process since the advent of the stereo LP and later on by the use of compression varies greatly. Without knowing your taste in music and the amount of reissued vinyl in your library your roughly "60%" of dissatisfaction... | |
