@realworldaudio Janos, you are welcome!
A double welcome: one for joining the Cube Audio family via your new Fc8 drivers and another for your posting here.
Thank you for sharing your detailed, initial impressions. If the Fc8 follows the F10 Neo drivers, expect a long (mostly enjoyable) break-in period and a positive (significant) improvement delta.
For those that are unfamiliar with Janos, he is based out of Hawaii and has a YouTube Channel dedicated to audio. His YouTube Name is Real World Audio. Here’s a link to his ’videos’ page:

@cal3713 There is an Enleum 23R listed now as well.

@stereodynamics Ron: I would ask Tektron Italy directly.
From their website:

@stereodynamics Are you all set on the bias settings?
I'm curious about which tubes you prefer with your Tektron amp and your overall thoughts of the unit?
|
@stephendunn Stephen, speaking for myself, it has been an absolute pleasure having your insights, perspective and wisdom on the thread.
I look forward to learning more about the Boressen Z2 speakers from your future thread.
You will be missed on this thread. Given your knowledge and experience with the Nenuphars, I hope you continue posting here.

I have been comparing two power cable looms. The results have been extremely informative.

Just listened to / viewed Janos' recent 'Real World Audio' YouTube post.
As always, he offers an interesting and meaningful perspective. This one is about reactions / feedback from three of his female friends as they listened to digital and vinyl, in two different rooms/systems via his Voigt Pipes with Cube Audio drivers.

Announcement from Cube Audio of the ’Grand Fission 2022’ awarded by Audiophile-Magazine AND a video with recorded music.
BTW: excellent sound quality based on a listen via my basic IEM / portable DAC/ Headamp. I'm really looking forward to listening via my primary headphone system.

For those interested in Cube's Cube related efforts there is mention of a new widebander combined with an 18 inch woofer. Photos of two renders are on page 4 of Srajan's Qualio intro, linked below.

@benjie Congratulations. What a wonderful way to kick off 2023.
Once your V2s (and SIT 3) are run in and you are comfortable with the V2s, positioning and placement experimentation will deliver significant results.
Keep us posted.

Hey guys. It’s good to be back. Charles has been encouraging and nudging me to do so. I had the privilege to finally meet him in person last month.
I chose to take a break from audio and pursue other hobbies, etc., over the past nine months. I’m still into all things audio (including Cube / Nenuphar) and have been recently exploring the world of higher end wireless / Bluetooth headphones.
Great to hear some of you, based on the recent posts, have been learning about and enjoying your Nenuphars / Jazzons.
There are private messages I need to respond to. I’ll get to them over the next day or two.

I noticed a comment on the previous page regarding Refined Audio, so I just checked. They continue to import and represent Cube Audio.
In fact, in case someone is interested: a Nenuphar BASiS is listed at a healthy discount 😊 here >>>>

As part of the 're-entry' I perused my first audio classified listings email.
There is an Art Audio PX25 monoblock listing which would make for a wonderful pairing... if you are looking for a warmer sound. I do not know the listing party.
