has anyone heard the nuforce amplifiers

The RFI issue makes me wonder what else is being affected in the system:tube preamp, DVD/CD source, interconnects, speaker wire? Does this mean using the NuForce amps requires changing all one's system cabling to a shielded design? If so, this would negate Referrene 8's value considering the expense of re-cabling.

The RFI problem is partially fixed by this patch
http://www.nuforce.com/support/F15HER3-patch.htm
For some receivers, it will dramatically reduce or eliminate the RFI problem. We tried it on Sony FM receiver and the problem goes away. But for others, the problem is only somewhat reduce.
We'll let you know in a week. Meantime, we appreciate whether the patch works for you or not, email support@nuforce.com and let us know.

THe RFI problem does not affect pre-amp or other equipment other than your FM receiver.

I performed the patch suggested by NuForce, it was very simple and consumed 10 minutes of my time.

Tvad, I do not have sheilded cable in my system, and I hear no sonic artifacts being generated by the NuForce amps when listening to digital sources. In fact, I have not heard or read a complaint from any users about RFI generated sonic artifacts.

Having completed the simple patch, neither am I experienceing any RF interference with my Audiolab 8000t tuner.

In my opinion, the sound of these amps is outstanding, and I personally am not ready to let this RFI issue turn my ears away from this product. Another thing that reasures me is that Jason at NuForce has publicly committed to offering users a solution to the RFI issue.

For those looking for low-cost, cool running, compact, high-performance amplifiers (and who isn't?), I am concluding that these amps represent an outrageous value.

We sent out parts and instructions to all dealers on May 25 & 26 for improving NuForce amp HF resolution and reduce RFI. Instructions can also be found on the updated support web page:

I just got the updated Nuforce 8.01b back yesterday. Right at first, I thought they might be closed in. I have changed my tune. Without comparing them to the 8, they are incredible.
