Anyone using Nuforce Ref 9 Mono Blocks?

Ideally I'd love to listen to a Bryston 4B SST and NuForce sie-by-side but I can't, so I have to rely on reviews and the opinion of others.

So far NuForce sounds good but I've heard that Bryston is very good as well.

Thoughts anyone?

You can hear them side by side. It's a matter of funds. This is the answer...

Buy a used 4B SST. They hold their value exceptionally well. If you decide to resell, you can likely do so without losing much, if any money. I owned...and sold a 4B SST, so I know this to be true. In fact, I bought mine new, and sold it for a few hundred less than what I paid. You will definitely do better than that if you buy one used (that is only a year or two old).

Simultaneously, buy a pair of NuForce 9SE that are offered with a 30 day in-home trial.

Viola! You can hear both in your own home with very little risk.

But be sure to try a violin and some other instruments too. :-)

Crap. I hates me the dislexia.

Voila!

I can get a 3 year old Bryston 4B SST for $2200.00 US.

What to do?

I've always been told to upgrade your source first. So I guess a new CDP should be the first step over the amp?

My CDP is a Luxman, tube DZ-03, which is 15 years old. I have a Sony but it's 10 years old.

I want to increase my bass.
