Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii
@re-lar-kvothe where we’re you able to find the 509axII for $7k? Or the mk1 for $3750? My speakers are pretty efficient and I may sell my First Watt SIT3 to try one. Thanks.   
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Post your thoughts on the Nenuphar mini’s once you get a listen. I’m intrigued by the semi OB design of the qualio iq’s. I love my Nenuphar mini’s but I’d love to listen to the qualios one day.   
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@debjit_g  This thread has been interesting to follow. I started it when I originally received the promo offer from Peachtree and was intending to try a GaN1. However, things changed and I cancelled my order. I did wind up with an LSA GaN 350 amp... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
I currently own a Line Magnetic 518 (845 tubes) and a Primaluna Evo300 amp. Front end is Holo May/Serene KTE. I’ve also owned a Primaluna Dialogue 1 integrated and a Line Magnetic 508 (805 tubes), along with other tube amps. my speakers are Cube N... 
Ordered a Willsenton R300
Does anyone know if the R300 uses any negative feedback? Great to hear Don is developing a 300b amp. I'm very interested in this amp and hope it comes to market. Decware is also developing a 300b amp. I put a deposit on one but might be a few ye... 
What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs?
Probably overkill but I'm using Anticable power cables for my REL S510's. I think they're great cables for the money, especially when found used or on their clearance page. I also had customer high level cables made by schmidt customer audio cable... 
Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s?
I have a pair of S510's and love them. Also had T5i's, which were great for a smaller room. Also have owned Rythmik, JL Audio, and SVS. I think all make good subs, but to me I love the integration and performance from the REL's and Rythmik. Since ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@stephendunn those Boressen speakers seem like some sort of voodoo magic. Seems like anyone who hears them is amazed. They are probably at the top of my list of speakers I'd love to live with for awhile at some point. Enjoy!  
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I have the Voyager (supposedly the amp used by the SF Audio Society) to use in warmer months instead of my Line Magnetic LM845 tube amp. I briefly hooked it up when I got it and was impressed, but only listened for a few hours. Maybe I'll hook it ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@dspringham  I have Nenuphar minis with a pair of REL S/510’s. Last subs I’ll probably ever buy. I used to think I’d never want subs with my 2-channel system but I originally got a pair of REL T5i’s to use with some standmount speakers and couldn... 
GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager?
I recently acquired the LSA Voyager amp. I tend to prefer tube amps but my current Line Magnetic LM518 gets pretty hot so I like to use something else in the summer. I also wanted to try something different with my system and was curious to hear a... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@mbolek  Not sure of the return policy, but they do ask that you don't try and resell it for 12 months. @ricevs  Good info, thanks. Have you heard either of these amps? Based on this info I may continue with the Peachtree even if I'm not thrill... 
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
@twoleftears  I figured they are similar designs using similar modules but the PT GaN1 is 200 wpc so something might be slightly different. The other difference is the GaN1 is designed to be driven direct from the streamer with no DAC. I love my ... 
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
  I am truly intrigued. Can you list what speakers and equipment you’re using in the demo setup? Does the tech require Tekton speakers or any special surround processor?  
Speaker suggestions please - going to the BIG city
Did you ever settle on anything? How are the subs. Looking at upgrading to a pair of S/510’s. I’m in Portland. Not sure if you’re still headed here to visit dealers. There aren’t a ton but I would suggest Pearl Audio and Stereotypes. Echo Hifi is ...
