Not Another NuForce thread......

Ok, first I am not shill or related to, or affiliated with NuForce in any way...I just thought that we should have a thread to discuss the V2...

I just placed the Reference 9 SE "V2" in my system after living with the NuForce 9 SE for the past year and auditioning the Reference 9 V2 for the past 2 months...

I am putting out there for comment and debate that the Reference 9 SE V2 is one of the top 5 best amplifiers out there and currently available. (I personally think that it one of the top 3, but I am leaving room for argument)

Sitting in my room last night I was reminded of one of those transforming audio experiences. My first ones was couple of hours with the Sinus Faber Amati Homage pushed with a full compliment of the top of the line ML gear all with in a perfectly treated room....My experience with the Reference 9 SE V2 was like that...

Please comment if you are able on the V2 in general, what was your experience?? Are your thought of the Reference 9 SE V2 the same??

to Drubin, the V2 board improves the amplifier immensely. However, the SE version is still a different amplifier with upgraded parts and other modifications.

With that said a new V2 Ref 9 will now outperform an older Ref 9SE original version.

I guess what I am wondering about is if a V2 Ref 9SE outperforms a V2 Ref 9, or if the differences are far less than in the pre-V2 era.

Drubin - If you read my "post script" to my review linked in the posting above at Postive Feedback, I suspect you will get your answer...

In short the Ref 9 V2 out performs the Ref 9 SE....

I get that, but I'm asking a different question. Does the Ref 9SE V2 outperform the Ref 9 V2? I assume yes, but my guess is not by much. Am I correct?
