| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi @abd1 , The problem in your room is the glass windows and door on the left, which cause very strong first reflections and ruin the soundstage and image. You should try draping the windows on the left. It doesn’t have to be heavy curtains. Per... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA I listened to ESL57 speakers in 3 different homes and liked these speakers a lot! @atmasphere . One of my friends built a number of SE and low power push pull amplifiers on EL84 and 6V6 tubes. He mostly used similar quality parts for both SE and ... | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Hi @atmasphere , Why did you use EL95 in ultralinear mode? Why you didn't use 2a3 or 45 tubes for your push-pull amp? Regards, Alex. | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA Hi @mozartfan , You can’t compare amplifiers and make conclusions just by output tube type and transformer! There are so many factors like schematics and quality and quantity (capacitor value) of parts. I have DIY 300B SET for many years. Durin... | |

| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. Old vinyl has a lot more detail that we can retrieve now that we couldn’t 10 or 20 yrs ago unless maybe with $50K of equip. Today a ttbl for a few thou, arm the same, cartridge too, we or at least me can hear lots of music not heard before. ... | |
| DIY Replacing Components in Crossovers Hi @arch2 , I also recommend to bypass each capacitor in crossover by Russian polystyrene k71-7 capacitors. It makes sound more smooth and transparent. Even if the big capacitor is already bypassed by Duelund Bypass adding K71-7 helps! Regards, ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other The Russian nouveau riches have a proverb "Loot triumphs over evil". But it doesn't work in audio!!! $400K system can sound great but it also can sound horrible. It depends more from a person who put this system together vs money spent. This per... |
