Nuforce v2: has anyone tried them

The new version of the Nuforce should have hit the shops a few weeks ago.
Has anyone heard them or upgrated their existing units.
I would be particoularly interested in comparisons within the range of the new v2: 9SE compared to 9 or to 8.
I am going to audition a 9SE v2 in a couple of days, but won't be able to try the others

I vote for the Modwright SWL 9.0SE pre...reasonably priced and the cost of tubes (Sylvania GB 5687 my favorite) won't break the bank. I've run that with my Nuforce 9SEs...guessing the V2s would have the same synergy. Don't leave the ICs out of the mix either. My favorite pairing has been with the Acoustic Zen Ref Matrix IIs.

I am quite happy with my Audio Horizons 2.1 rnb a fine partner in musical crime along with my Nuforce ref 9 SE V2s. And you can give them a try with a 30 day audition. Mine did not go back to AH. Good luck in your quest.

I'm using a deHavilland Mercury II preamp with my SE V2s. Outstanding synergy. I originally had the SEs for about six months, and then got the V2 upgrade. It was well worth the money to me.

I have heard these Nuforce amps coupled with a Shindou Aurieges Line tube pre. The result was quite sensational - spacious, detailed and musical
