Through the last 15 years I've used a 300B-amp, a Pass Aleph 5 and different versions of Nuforce 9 (9.02, SE and SE V2. In my current room I previously used JM Lab Mini Utopia but never with the Nuforces. Wadia has been my friend since my first model 6, which I bought about 14 years ago. My taste in music is rather varied; jazz, opera, rock and pop. Very seldom what you could call "list music" though.
Earlier I kind of missed the spectacular sound stage and pin point imaging that I had with my Mini Utopias. My Wilsons could not provide it in my room. Since the V2 of the Nuforce that has been much improved, also the top end air that I felt was missing with the earlier Nuforces is now much better. I now have a very expansive three-dimensional soundstage, great bass respons and a sound that is never ever hard.
My experince with Verity is limited to Parsifal (Encore?) with Mac-gear and the Fidelios together with Pathos monoblocks driven by Wadia 7 & 27. Both these occasions have provided very good sound, they will probably work just fine with Nuforce as well.
very interesting system. frankly speaking i was just wondering how a combination of wadia dac, wadia ipod transport, nuforce and nordost spm would sound. i am also thinking how it would match with verity audio speakers.
i m guessing your simple system provide very dynamic, clean sound with excellent soundstage and controll of bass.
would you mind providing some description of the sound and your experience especially with info concerning comparision of your current set up to other electronic and speakers you had in your room? may i ask what your music taste is? generally what advantages and drawbacks you find in your system?
With young kids the upgrades can be few and far between. But you have a nice system to live with for a long time. Hope you get alot of time to play with the kids and have some quality listening time.
The Sophias are pretty happy being that close to the back wall. They were put there by maybe the most experienced Wilson owner in Sweden. They have quite a lot of space to the sides and maybe that helps. But maybe the bass will be even better if I moved them further into the room, however that's not possible with our living room usually doubling as play area for our small kids...
Edigio: Nice hearing you say that since I haven't actually heard the SE version. I'm hoping for a little more "lifelike" top end.
