Hey, we have exciting news to share with Nuforce fans.
HiVi is Japan's biggest consumer audio video magazine and within 3 months of the introduction of NuForce Reference 9V2, we won the Grand Prix in the Power Amp category, equivalent to Power Amp of The Year 2007.  Whoa!  :thumb:
I am glad that Casey and I decided to attend the award ceremony here this week (yes, we are in Tokyo). We don't understand a single word they were saying most of the time but we sure have a lot of fun being introduced to the influential editors and reviewers.  A few of them do speaker English well in private conversation.

Serious event with awesome food and free drinks:





He he he, we still have Ref 9V2SE and Icon-1 waiting in line to be launched soon in Japan.

Japan's market is super important for high-end audio company. It is probably larger than the US audiophile market. There is hardly any focus on high-end home theater.
Yes, it is a tough market to compete but we'll be forced to improve our quality :).

Every reviewers (we are doing 5 magazines interview here) asked about Nuforce CD player.  Casey is having nightmare already  :lol:
We have to move up the priority of this product.
