Nuforce
It's always nice when a reviewer backs up one's own thoughts. Here is a just released review from 6moons.com on the Nuforce SEs.http://6moons.com/audioreviews/nuforce3/9se.htmlNote the concluding paragraphs.-John 
Would spikes help me?
Audio Points.What you should hear is potentially little or no difference for the first 8 days or so.But what you will hear after this settling in period is extended highs with a more natural extended decay and increased speed and dynamics. You sho... 
what to address first
Place your order for the APL-modified TEAC Esoteric UX-1 universal player that APL calls the NWO-1 and sells for about $19k (you will no longer need a preamp). Imagine the performance when you merge the undeniably finest transport mechanism built ... 
what to address first
If you haven't done so already, I'd first install dedicated circuits/lines for the amp, another for all digital, another for your analog (preamp, turntable), and yet another for your sub.Next, I'd seek out the best dedicated line conditioners and ... 
Powerstrip order q
Since you have the power strip and the components, it would seem that you are in the best position to answer that question.However, from a theoretical perspective and regardless of your equipment, I would say it really matters little which order y... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Aggielaw, so you're moving from a very dry climate to Kansas? This should be good. :)My family and I recently moved from Leawood, KS to Oregon. For 3 months of the year, the heat and humidity in Kansas is literally as bad as summertime in Orlando,... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Aggielaw, if you've only replaced the fuse accessible from the back of the amp, then you might consider opening the lid on your amp to see if there are a few fuses on either rail inside your amp. On my DNA-2 Rev A amp there were 4 internal fuses (...

Thanks, Redkiwi.For the last 3 or 4 years, I've been quite a stickler for proper line conditioning and have owned what I consider the best line conditioners available in the Foundation Research units. However, the vast improvements of the latest v...

Hi, Drubin. Yes, I've stated that my experience concludes that the amplifier is the key to a system's performance whether good or bad.However, I do not recall ever qualifying that statement with the 'low listening volume' you mentioned above.My op... 
NuForce Popping
I see you are brand new here. Welcome.I think it would be interesting to know the name and location of the store you are talking about and what other products they carry. If a dealer would not or could not represent the Nuforce line, it would cert...

Denf, after purchasing my first pair of Nuforce amps last September, I immediately sold my beloved McCormack DNA-2 Revision A (an excellent amp), I purchased the Nuforce amps and became a dealer for them. So please take that into consideration as ...

I just received my pair of Nuforce SEs two days ago. They are really something, even right out of the box with significant improvements within the first 35 hours.JTKTTA (Just to keep this thread alive) 
Best 1m Interconnect under $100
I second Danlib1's recommendation for Speltz anti-ics. It's the second best ic I've heard. They made my previous $3500 (1 set) of ics sound veiled in the highs and bloated in the bass. That was right out of the box because the Speltz cables need l... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
I've replaced 4 external $.035 fuses with 4 Isoclean fuses and within 48 hours I could not hear any difference whatsoever.(In my experience, simple electrical and some line conditioners take about 48 hours of burn-in time.)Several days later I rep...
