Solid State Preamp for Nuforce 9SEV2

Well I sold the Shindo and am waiting to receive a Ref TVC 4 to pair with a tube amp. This from a previous Shindo/Nuforce set up (don't think it really justice to the Shindo). The merry go round continues, love the ride...

Hi Tholt,
I have not compared the Ref TVC with other preamps. The only preamp would be the NAD integrated's built-in preamp.
Would love to hear your comparison with the Shindo. I am not a tube guy though.

I am driving my MCH3-SE C7 with Nuforce's P9 to great effect. Gives more pristine top end, rhythm and pacing than others I have tried. Superb bass and clean and honest midrange w/o smearing. I would not recommend this for an overly bright system but one that's neutral or slightly warmish, this might be the one.

Hey Milpai, what are your experiences with other preamps (and which ones) vs the Pro. TVC? I'm entertaining getting one, it would be compared with a Shindo Aurieges.

If you get a chance, give the Promitheus Reference or Signature a try. This TVC does not add any signature of it's own. I am pretty happy with mine.

How about one of Nuforce's own?

I don't have the SE's-just the regular V2's, but the Oritek pre-dac is one fine preamp(and dac too, BTW).

That is true.

I used mine with a Pass X1 and enjoyed it very much, it was like it wasn't even in the room...
