Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
I don't know what to think about recorded speakers playing through youtube over laptop speakers (or earbuds), but I watched that video and was also impressed.  As you point out, at least if everything is the same except for the speakers, the compa... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@david_ten Thanks David.  I think I'm still a year or so out from going this direction, but have been trying to learn a lot about full range drivers to figure out what I might build.  I've also been looking at the Audio Nirvana drivers, but I know... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@toetapaudio  Thanks for the information.  If I went this direction, I'd start by just buying the driver.  Was thinking that I'd probably start with open baffle in that case and potentially copy Nelson Pass' approach ( https://www.stereophile.com...

A question to those of you who have been thinking about these speakers for a while. If you're supplementing with subs, is there any reason to choose cube's 10" drivers over the 8" ones?   
Streamers and bit rot.
+1 @kren0006.  Everything and everyone.

Such a beautiful room (and system) Mike.

Why you want upsampling and upconversion in a server and why it sounds way better!
Better, or different? 
Tannoy Speaker Owners
@gadios Nelson Pass has a pair of Tannoy's and tests much of his First Watt gear on them (see https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/280649-question-pass.html).  Many of those amplifiers should be a great match. 
Higher End DACs
@djones51 I recently demoed the Matrix X-Sabre Pro and unfortunately found it one of the least compelling of the DACs I was trying (Audio Mirror T3 SE, iFi iDSD pro, Lampizator Amber 3, Shiit Bifrost 2, & PS Audio Directstream).  It sounded me... 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
@teajay Obviously impressions are always heavily system dependent, but it's still good to have people agree with you.  Glad to read that we heard things similarly... looking forward to reading the full AM-T3 SE review. 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
I have had the directstream in my system and I feel that the other options are superior in every way. I used it daily for a month, so it was well burned in. I’ve had difficulty reconciling my experience with other reports (e.g., the stereophile cl... 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
@brownsfan Bill, at least Audio Mirror offers a 10-day home trial, so it's low risk to audition (also true of the Amber 3 from Gestalt).  And it's clear from our amplifier and speaker history that we share some presentation preferences.  As I note...

Looking forward to the report.  I have my MKP10s on hand for my tweeter crossovers, just have to find a time to install.  Will get around to it in the next week or two...
