NuForce Reference 9 V2 Special Edition Monophonic Power Amplifier
Check out this NuForce Reference 9 V2 Special Edition single-channel power amplifier! These popular power amplifiers sold for over $5000 AUD a pair in 2007. Need a subwoofer amplifier or centre channel amp? Read more about these here.
UPDATE: Sold, thanks, Maarten!
Many will remember NuForce, an unusual start-up focused on producing class-D power amplifiers. These products quickly gained a ‘cult’ following but then just as quickly fell out of favour as people realised not everything was quite right with class-D gear or NuForce.
That being said, they iterated through versions, fixing and improving things as they went. This is the second version, in special edition guise, of their Reference 9 power amplifier. It’s a powerful and great-sounding amplifier but must be used with caution.
Here’s a little more about the Reference 9 V2 SE, courtesy Stereotimes:
The rear panel contains high-quality XLR and WBT NextGen RCA input jacks. Eichmann Speakerpods are standard, as is an IEC AC receptacle. The IEC receptacle allows one to use after-market power cords. The rocker-style Power switch is also located on the rear panel. The bevelled aluminium front panel contains a single blue LED in the centre indicating power on/off. The LED is just the right intensity for my taste, as opposed to other LED’s that are simply way too bright. The finish on my amplifiers is anodized Rose Copper; Black and Silver finishes are also available.
NuForce is very proud of the new V2 amplifier board, which they consider a breakthrough. The V2 board was issued a patent on May 22, 2007. NuForce has painstakingly refined this board using an ultra-short signal-delivery pathway. Additionally, the board is now mounted to the top cover for much more efficient heat transfer from the output devices. Unique to the Ref 9 V2 SE is a proprietary ESR power capacitor bank to help the amplifier deliver a very steady and stable stream of high power to the speakers. Thus, the rated power has increased from 150 watts to 190 watts RMS at 8 ohms and undistorted power peaks of 325 watts and 650 watts can be achieved at 8 ohms and 4 ohms, respectively.
The bottom line is that the new board has allowed the amplifier to become considerably more efficient and powerful while simultaneously decreasing the already very-low noise floor by another 20 decibels. Incredible!

Reviews
This is what Robert Levi thought about the NON-SE version, which is not as good as this one:
“I still haven’t heard their top 9SE V2 design and can’t wait! Meanwhile, if $3500 is your wallet’s limit, you will love this amp. I can’t name a solid-state amp that gives you soundstaging, imaging, or depth perspective better than these little guys at under $8000! Moreover, at this kind of high power. What a deal! The Reference 9V2s are the best yet from NuForce and receive my highest recommendation.”
Bob Levi
So, what’s the catch? There is only one for sale, so this is perfect for a centre channel or subwoofer. NuForce is no longer with us, so support is no longer available.
You can purchase this NuForce Reference 9 V2 Special Edition mono power amp, in almost perfect condition, for just $395. Someone buy this, please!!! No warranty, just take it away and drive a subwoofer with it.

Denon POA-2800 Stereo Power Amplifier
Wow, check out this beautiful, made-in-Japan Denon POA-2800 power amplifier. Recently donated- thank you, Conrad. She needed a little tidying up and a minor repair, so I did that work as part of a full service.
She is perfect apart from one thing: the power button cap is missing. This doesn’t affect operation.
UPDATE: Sold to Brian!

I’ve reworked a few dry joints, serviced the attenuators, replaced the awful RCA jacks with proper Neutrik ones and biased her up, and she runs like a charm. Perfect for anyone wanting a serious but not too expensive power amplifier.
This beautiful made-in-Japan 200-watt-per-channel Denon POA-2800 power amplifier comes freshly serviced, with new Neutrik RCA connectors and a 3-month warranty and can be yours for $1,395.

Lovely Yamaha KX-580 Cassette Deck
Just in, this lovely Yamaha KX-580 cassette deck, donated by a generous and her only previous owner. I’ve lightly serviced this one and she is ready to give more enjoyment to a new owner.
The one and only issue, a common one – a dim display. This doesn’t affect operation and it still can me read and used.
