Nuforce

I've received a few inquiries about my previous post above and it would seem that some may have taken my comments regarding mfg'ers attempts at vibration control were directed at the Nuforce amps specifically.

To clarify, my comments about mfg'ers attempts at vibration were NOT directed toward Nuforce products in any way. Near as I can tell, Nuforce attempts to stay away from this area which I think is ideal.

Furthermore, as a Nuforce dealer, it would have been rather unbright of me to offer unsolicited negative comments about a product I sell and of which I am so fond.

Sorry for any confusion.

-IMO

Positive Feedback have given a"positive" review of the improved Ref9,now the 9.02.It seems as if there was something not quite right with the original version, so I guess my ears are still working.

I just want to say that I'm suprised(and appreciative-is that a word?) of Stehno's imputs.

Anyone heard the ia7?

Plato, these amps rock! I am glad I took the advice given to me. The other advice given to me is to get there p-8 pre/amp or wait for the p-9. The p-8 could be more of a bargain than the 9.02's. They are possibly way over built for there price range. I think you will start to see reviews on those p-8's soon.
The 9.02's sound better plugged into my dedicated circuit than they do into the panamax. The panamax slows them down and they sound a little on the dark side. If you like the sound a little dark then there you go. I had a Proceed hpa-3 which is 250w and these little amps kill it in every aspect. The bass that these produce is not typical of a ss 160w amp. The slam is amazing and accurate. If there was a problem with the first run of these amps I would have to say they are fixed. I will be dealing with the vibration control later but for now I dont want to touch em. I am probably going to get the p-8 and run it into my Arcam AV-8 if it is compatible. The p-8 has a HT passthrough so I will investigate that option. By the way my 9.02's have the extended bass version. Maybe the best sound to value ratio out there!
