| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... I just spent the past few days listening to a Terminator v1 DAC w/upgraded DSP and WIMA caps. I also have an SW1X Level 3 Special NOS tube DAC. I stream from an Auralic Aries G1. I send the signal via AES/EBU to the terminator and coax to the SW1X... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Agreed, thanks for the help. I moved the speakers further back and apart and its sounding very good. Still toed in, almost crossing at MLP. Have to go out of town for work Monday so I'll continue to make adjustments when I get back. Still also loo... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition I received the Audio GD HE 1 XLR preamp last week. I've had 4 days off from work and spent a couple hours a day listening to this preamp. My only other preamp I've had is the Don Sachs, latest version with the best caps Don uses. Also a great soun... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Are there visuals on the process for swapping the drivers? Guessing you just remove some bolts for the existing driver, carefully remove it from the cabinet, unplug the wires (assuming its a plug and not soldered), then reverse the process for ins... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I'm thinking about getting some GIK floorstanding panels to place at the reflection points along the wall with windows. Also last night I toed in the speakers heavily so they cross before the MLP. Made a big difference. Sound is very centered now ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I know the room is odd but this is the space I have. I spent a lot of time listening yesterday. I also hooked up my Clearwave audio standmount speakers. They use a 1" accuton ceramic tweeter and are one of the best imaging speakers I've heard. The... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure FYI dimensions are approximate but pretty close. Picture also depicts two subs but I'm only using 1 right now. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure David, did I read that you toe your speakers in to cross before the mlp? | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Here's some images/layout of the space. I have some other furniture in the room and a large area rug. I can't reconfigure the space (WAF). I've moved the speakers as wide as possible and as close, forward and back. I get some different results on ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I’m curious how other Nenuphar owners have their speakers set up? Distance apart, distance from walls, distance to mlp, toed in/not toed in, etc.? Also, are you sitting at ear height of the center of the driver? With the speaker titled back I thin... | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition I don't have a lot of experience with preamps. I mainly used integrateds until a couple years ago and got a Don Sachs Model 2. I love it. Not only does it sound great but Don is great to work with and I love the bespoke, handmade vibe of it. Howev... | |
| $2k-$3k DAC Purchase @jond Thanks for the tip. I'm checking them out. | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... my apologies, post deleted. Can anyone weigh in on the differences between the original Terminator and the Venus II? | |
| Zavfino I'm not a fan of the locking bananas pictured on their site. Might be interested in trying Zavfino speaker cables. Anyone know if you can pick different bananas? I've seen some photos with a nonlocking banana. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten I'm using an Alan Eaton 45 amp and a Primaluna Dialogue Premium. These are much less expensive amps, especially purchased used, but I love their sound. The 300B amps I tried definitely had more microdynamic detail and texture. They play... |
