Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
  Okay that's why the speakers are seemingly always paired with a solid state amplifier at USA audio shows.   @jayctoy  I believe that the Nenuphars would sound absolutely beautiful with your Viva 300b amplifier.  Charles

@jayctoy  What amplifier was driving the Nenuphars? Which Lampizator DAC?  You could "feel" the music. That's my kind of audio  syshem! 👍 Charles

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@ghasley  Congratulations and thanks for taking the time to provide an initial listening impression.  I can certainly understand these speakers pairing well with your Shindo integrated amplifier. You mentioned the Meitner DAC (Nice) any plans to ...

@fsonicsmith And I am also surprised and even angry at myself to only now notice that Ralph is so reliant upon that which can be measured Ralph is an accomplished electrical engineer and also a successful audio electronics manufacturer. I cer... 
Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp
@oddiofyl  I got a good deal on a leftover Zesto Leto and it's incredible.  Should pair well.   I believe that the Leto will pair beautifully with your custom 300b SET amplifier, good choices.  Charles

@jjss49  +10 for your well stated comments. 3 weeks ago I attended a classical music performance featuring a cello and piano duet. This past weekend my daughter and I went to a local jazz venue . Both experiences were quite different obviously bu... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
My ears tell me things are possible today that were not in years past with amplifier technology. There are some very good older amps but I would have no interest in moving backwards Precisely my point , use your ears and decide. If you genuinel...

Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3
@jackd I understand your perspective with regard to potential software issues. I owned the P.S.Audio PWT for 12 very enjoyable years and initially did give some consideration to the current CD/SACD transport. I just haven’t found SACD particula... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
@fsonicsmith Let history be the judge! Over 60 years time has proven that the basics continue to be valid and that the newest ground breaking production is two steps forward and three steps back. So go ahead and make a fool of yourself. I will ... 
Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
I would sincerely suggest to the OP to listen to an example of a modern high negative feedback solid state amplifier as described above and compare its sound quality to the Renaissance 70/70 and be your own judge. I’m not convinced that the "moder...

Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps?
@aberyclark I would send in your components and let VAC give them a go-over. IMO, you have endgame equipment I agree with this assessment.  The VAC Renaissance  70/70 is a superb tube power amplifier built to a very high standard. You can und...
