| Nuforce Thanks, Frank. And I couldn't agree with you more regarding your thoughts on the NuForce amps. Along that same line of thinking, I can't help but wonder what the home theater industry will think of these amps once they get wind of them. Hope you h... | |
| Nuforce Plato, I apologize for my comment above about feeling few reviewers are worth listening to. I know you've been around Agon for years but I did not know that you are a reviewer and that comment was certainly not directed toward you. I actually post... | |
| Nuforce Lacee, I see that you are brand spankin' new to audiogon. Welcome.Your post begs a few questions so if you don't mind answering just one. What equipment, line conditioners, speakers, and cabling were used in the system you heard with the NuForce a... | |
| I need ICs for my system. Anyone have this set up? The chances of anyone having your exact setup are slim. Furthermore, just one component difference can be night and day in sonic presentations between otherwise identical systems.With that said, I'd like to toss into the ring, the Audio Tekne spea... | |
| Nuforce Plato, very well said.Mdconnelly, I also own the 10Ts and after recently hearing the NuForce Reference 9 amps in my system, I sold my beloved McCormack DNA-2 Revision A amp. The NuForce weren't night and day better, but they are more refined, reve... | |
| Improvements from av preamp to 2 channel preamp? Tvad, I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Hopefully any day now.Last August, a friend brought his May '05 edition over to have a listen in my system and left it for a week. Initially I was unimpressed. But after a little warm-up it became quite im... | |
| Improvements from av preamp to 2 channel preamp? Twc, how do you like your hram mod'ed 3910? To answer your question, you may be missing nothing. But of course that depends entirely on the true sonic quality of the pre/pro v. the preamp.For example, I have up for auction right now a Primare P30 ... | |
| Getting all new cables and need sugestions Paul Speltz' Anti-cables and Anti-ics are certainly worth considering. You're looking at $80 for the speaker cables, about $200 for 2 pair of ics that you need (less if you require RCA/single-ended terminations.8 months ago, I purchased $260 worth... | |
| Anti Cables opinions The Anti-cables are excellent and barely ousted my $1800 bi-wired set of cables. At $60 for a 6 ft. pair they are IMO the best buy.Speltz' Anti-ics sound even better than the Anti-cables. The XLR version was $100 a pair for a 1 meter pair. The Ant... | |
| fuse question Performance wise, I think the gold-plated Isoclean fuse is worth the $25 price.I agree that the apparent aluminum fuse holders at either end compromise the sonics. The best way around that is to take the fuse holder out all together, but it would ... | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I agree with most of the above posters. The Speltz cables may very well be the best buy in high end audio today. The $100 XLR Anti-ics made my $3500 ics sound bloated in the bass and veiled in the highs in comparison. They exhibit little if any ti... | |
| Looking for an incredibly dynamic preamplifier All this from a preamp, eh? With all due respect, there's no reason to assume that only those pre-amps with outboard power supplies are 'good' condidates for what you seek. An excellent power conditioner should equal and even better the sonics of ... | |
| Power Conditioner and Current Question Elizabeth is correct in that you need more power from the outlet/circuit/line with any decent decent current drawing amp.But an amplifier needs a line conditioner as much if not more than any other component.However, since some to many line condit... | |
| Bypassing fuses; I'd think twice about it now Hi, Doug. That's a good reminder as the fuses do have a purpose (perhaps to protect the mfg'er) :)Artistic Audio in So. California sells the audio-grade Isoclean gold-plated fuses at $25 each. The performance improvements can be quite pleasing for... | |
| The most emotional amp out there? Why is it that the erudite always need re-clarification? Or did I just answer my own question?It should go without saying that we are conversing in a forum with an emphasis geared almost solely toward hardware.If that is true, then it should also ... |
