Just because I sell something doesn't mean I didn't like it. I enjoy trying various gear and have sold several audio pieces over the years. The list is not complete because quite frankly, I can't remember every piece I have owned and sold. Most were excellent, some I just couldn't stand. The Nuforce fall into the excellent category.As for someone else having a different opinion than mine on the Nuforce, that's fine. I know what I heard and liked in the Ref 9 amps and they are outstanding far beyond their price point.
Various amps that I have owned and sold:
Classe DR10, Classe CA100, Classe CA200, Classe CA300
BAT VK-200
ARC VT50, ARC VT100 mkII
CJ MF-2250, CJ MF-2250A, CJ Premier 11a
Pass Labs Aleph 3
Krell KSA-50S, Krell KAV-2250
Mark Levinson 383 Integrated
AES/Cary SixPac tube monoblocks
PS Audio HCA-2
Odyssey Stratos Plus, Odyssey Stratos Extreme
Nuforce Ref 9 - (Also had Ref 8's on loan in my setup)
...and a few I'm probably forgetting.Presently running Pass Labs X150 or Cary Rocket 88R in primary system. Denon PMA-2000IVR integrated in second system.
So there you go. When I sell something, it has little bearing on how good or how bad it was. I've sold some pretty outstanding gear. My top picks in no particular order:
Nuforce Ref 9
AES/Cary SixPacs
Krell KSA-50S
Odyssey Stratos ExtremeAmps I didn't like very much (after discovering better sounding gear):
CJ MF-2250/2250A, CJ Premier 11a
Mark Levinson 383 Integrated (so boring and bland)
