| 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... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure 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. | |
| Higher End DACs Such a beautiful room (and system) Mike. | |
| Higher End DACs @mikelavigne +1. Really makes me want to hear the server... | |
| 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... | |
| Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers If only every thread was updated by the op like this. Congrats and thanks for finishing it out. | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. 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... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? Certainly possible, although I also felt that the two dacs sounded very different from one another. Obviously Lampizator thinks you can get a pretty good idea of what the Amber offers within 7 days. And as Bill pointed out, everyone's impression i... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? @brownsfan Unfortunately the closest I get to classical on a regular basis (or during my auditioning) is electronica, so I don't really have much to say. Hopefully Bill has some thoughts. I started to write about the imaging/soundstaging of the ... |
