Audio Note Power Amps
@wenhaw  I suspect that your friend's advice was well intentioned but I do not support it at all. @larryi is offering good insight and counsel. Most SET amplifiers will have high input impedance (usually 50,000 ohms and often 100k ohms and higher... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@stephendunn  Every single amplifier you've listed would all be considered very good amplifiers paired with the Nenuphars.  So it seems quite clear that the Enleum 23R is pushing major buttons for your tastes. No one can accuse you of not explori...

@nonoise But I have that sneaking suspicion that with the Blue Tiger servo and new firmware to get that bit perfect 1:1 playback with a CD sled dedicated to CD only playback (and not an all purpose one), if it gets within striking distance of t...

It seems that the Stream Unlimited Blue Tiger CD 80 servo board has been around since 2009 and is used for tray and slot CD applications,  so tried and true product.  I believe that the Blue Tiger CD -84 is a newer application for top loaders and...

Time will tell until I hear back form them, but I plan on getting it and hopefully the reviews will address the matter. All the best, @nonoise69  I was under the impression that you were getting the CEC TL5 transport based on your comments ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
@melm and the proof will always be in the listening. Absolutely correct and that is all that matters to me. How convincingly a component reproduces music is by far the most critical criteria. I wasn’t directly comparing the 2 DACs, rather the...

@habermas  On forums there's a tendency for people to post opinions cavalierly with little to back them up. Thanks for sharing your listening impressions of the Cyrus and Jay's Audio CD transports in your audio system.  Much more meaningful.  Ch...

I don’t know much about anything "Jay Audio", but to me, way too much money for just a transport Just a transport? Fascinating how some under appreciate the value and role contributed by the CD transport. I seriously doubt  the Cyrus is the so...

Another option to consider. Pro-Ject does quite well providing high level CD playback at reasonable cost.  https://hometheaterreview.com/pro-ject-announces-cd-box-ds3-and-cd-box-s3-compact-cd-players/    
Pro-Ject CD Box DS3 "Redbook" Player
When describing the servo, they say the CD-80 is the most advanced on the market. Does anyone know if this supersedes the CD-Pro 84? All the best, Nonoise Interesting question.  The Blue Tiger -84 servo is used in the higher model line RS2 C...
