THE HOME ENTERTAINMENT SHOW is a little more than a month away.

Last year this was the biggest and best AUDIO and Home Theater Show of the year.

NuFORCE is proud to be involved with THE Show and is on the 5th Floor in Room # 535

This is a very exciting time at NuFORCE with the emergence and introduction of some REALLY GREAT new gear.

We will have the following in operation or on display.

1) AVP-18 - This is the long awaited re-entry into the Audiophile Level Preamp/Processor



2) The New "HOME REFERENCE SERIES" components including the HAP-100 Preamp, the DDA-100 digital input Integrated Amp, the STA-100 Stereo Power Amp of 100wpc, and several other components





The NuFORCE room will also be supported and feature ANGEL CITY AUDIO's TRINITY Speaker System



And LA Sound Panels Acoustic Treatments

We will be running 2 actual systems at the show in the same space.

1) We will be featuring the Reference Series 2 Channel AudioPhile System

2) We will also have a 3.0 System to show our new AVP-18 PreampProcessor

Here is the 2 channel system:

Digital Sources:

Hard Drive through our MSP-18 (Music Server) for High Quality 2 channel Music Files

OPPO BDP-93 NuFORCE Edition to play show goer's discs and cuts

DAC

NuFORCE DAC-9 192k



Preamp

The NuFORCE P-20



Amps

NuFORCE Reference 18 (325wpc) Monoblocs



Speakers

Angel City Audio TRINITY Speakers



Acoustic Treatments

LA Sound Panels

POWER CONDITIONING

WYWIRES POWER BROKER

COMING SOON the 3.0 Multichannel System

[John Casler]

WOW!

Is all I can say.

I now have the actual SHOW System (except for the WyWires Power Broker Power Conditioner) in the HOUSE and burning in.

It is Spectacular

The only thing missing is the MSP-18 Music Server, but I am running a "prototype" of that too.

If I can get it to sound 50% as good in Room # 535, I will be a happy camper.

Reference Cuts are close to the best I have heard.

Anyone coming to THE Show needs to stop by and see us.

Our MultiChannel 3.0 system

Due to room restrictions, we have decided to not use surround speakers, but we did want to demo the AVP-18 a bit with Bluray Concert Discs.

The System will look like this:

SOURCE:  OPPO BDP-93 NuFORCE EDITION

PREPRO:  NuFORCE AVP-18

AMPS: NuFORCE REFERENCE 18 monoblocs

SPEAKERS: Angel City Audio TRINITY

So in essence, we will be demonstrating TWO systems in ONE, being able to switch from one to the other with a couple clicks.

I have been using the AVP-18 for a couple weeks now and it is a bonafide GIANT KILLER.  At $1095, it rivals competitors costing almost 10 x it's price.  Color me amazed

John,

Are you the "official" spokesman for NuForce (as we haven't seen them post here in "forever")?

[John Casler]

To a degree, I have been a dealer from the beginning, and now I am officially assisting in their efforts to shine a light on their Higher End and Home Theater Lines.

Since their Computer, Portable and Personal gear exploded so quickly, they got spread a little thin.

I am still getting "up to speed" but hopefully we will see some nice improvements.

I am also working with the High End Dealers too.

[John Casler]

THE Show was a BIG success and LOTS of Audiophiles came to hear the Room and System.

BJ,

Did you get a chance to come by our room?

I spent just a few minutes in NuFORCE room listening to the Trinity and I think the sound was different in comparison to the one in our own room with Melody gears.

[John Casler]

Big Hugh,

No the only room I got a chance to visit (at the behest of the NuFORCE CEO) was the DIRAC room to hear what they are doing in room and sound equalization.

NuFORCE has partnered with them on a venture or two.

Got loads of comments on your speakers.

[woofersus]

I thought the NuForce room was great, and I thought it was an interesting contrast because our speakers were not only set up completely differently, but driven by very different equipment.  Totally different presentations, but both really enjoyable.  The upstream gear really came through.

[John Casler]

That is an excellent observation.

Quite often many are interested in "what or which is better" when in fact both are great depending on your preferences.  This was what I was thinking when Hugh and I spoke about using TRINITY in the NuFORCE room.

It gave consumers a unique opportunity to compare his speakers and our individual electronics at the same show.  It demonstrated the differences well, of both gear set ups, and how the speaker handles each.  This was especially true since we also used the same Acoustic Panels from LA SoundPanels.

Win/Win

Our Room received a very nice write-up from John Atkinson of STEREOPHILE
