NNUX HF SE

Hi Brent , after approximately 100 days of the NNUXHFSE being in the system, I think the unit is getting pretty much run in . The original NNUXHF which you upgraded for me has been in the system for over 6 months. I must admit I did cogitate long and hard about whether to invest in this product ( which is your most expensive) as I did already have the NNUHF plug in and my filtration was only 3xNNUSE’s away from your reference system, and I had Russ Andrews Clarity Mains X4 plus Clarity Pro. However, the driving force was I had recently upgraded my system .

On installing it into the system the benefits in noise reduction were immediately obvious. I started by using an old audiophile mains lead , after 2 days I replaced with my third best lead (Nordost Shiva) after another week that was replaced by my second best lead (Nordost Vishnu). After 3 months the benefits were so great I sent it back to you for the SE up grade. Now that is pretty much run- in, I would agree with your comment to me a while ago that the improvements are more akin to a component upgrade that a step improvement. The gains in noise reduction are across the frequency range, smoother highs, better mid range and more low end detail. This has helped me achieve my aim of listening to large scale music near field at the volumes I like. Classical string music is much improved , it was always the thing most difficult to reproduce I have never heard it match live music in any system however expensive. All music sounds better and more detailed and somewhat like my original system 45 years ago, smoother and in particular more involving. This product really highlights how much WIFI has polluted our mains systems in recent times. The product at £1000 is expensive, but I think that in true Fidelity value for money style it gives £2000 worth of benefit.
