| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @vinpic it does not lose anything (the mid-range magic is fully there), sound is thicker across the entire spectrum (more presence / more meat around all bones) which increases the sense of naturalness & flow. I did not have to tweak my s... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver From JA/Stereophile Although the Fyne F301's specified sensitivity is a high 89dB/2.83V/m, my estimated sensitivity was slightly lower, at 86.2dB(B)/2.83V/m. The Fyne F301's nominal impedance is specified as 8 ohms. While the impedance magnitude... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b My guss is use of better materials quality, much higher standard of construction and attention to detail. My EML XLS is heavier than most 300b tubes. It just looks and actually feels better built. Ultra reliability and very extended tube life lon... | |
| Your tube amp related Harbeth experience. @big_greg The best I’ve heard Harbeths sound was at my friend’s house - he had a Line Magnetic LM-805iA integrated and the 40.2s and has a very well treated room. Sublime. Roughly 50 watts of pure class A. I could imagine those 805 output tub... | |

| burn in - how important? @verdantaudio , Some of these changes can be significant. Anyone who tells you it is just you getting accustomed to the new sound has not had a lot of new gear. For those of us who are perpetually opening new boxes, it varies wildly from manufac... | |
| Elrog 300b vs we300b @sns , Point being, all the boutique tubes are nice, just a matter of different flavors. All will resolve at high level and offer refinement the cheaper tubes can't come close to. Acmes have aprox. 75 hours and getting better all the time! @s... | |

| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... @tonywinga , Whether it is eddy currents or static, the more error correction needed while reading the disc the more the music is affected Certainly plausible. The premise seems to be that these test/conditioning CDs have an effect on the ent... | |
| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... 12-24-2021 6:34pm @audioguy85 , Should I or shouldn’t I wear a tin foil hat while doing this? Obsurd.. If you tried the CD and it did nothing for you, no big deal and easy to accept. No product will ever please or impress everyone. If you hav... | |
| burn in - how important? Maybe I was too lazy to plug in the Rogue again but I left the EAR in place and after about 30 hours I noticed a difference, more depth, wider soundstage, Now after about 100 hours - WOW huge soundstage, both depth and width. great tight bass, sh... | |
| CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations? @audio-union, There is a reason why all the really high performing CD players and transports do not play SACDs. There a compromise made in doing so. If you do a side by side on an adequate system it stick out like a sore thumb. Anything that wil... | |

| If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically... @brauser I just want to thank you for posting about the Ayre IBE CD. I used it after receiving it a few days ago. It is effective and improved clarity and fine resolution in my audio system. Subtle in scale however definitely noticeable. Quit... |
