| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @mozartfan "I think Cube handled this new upgrade with a stand-off-ish-ness. A bit too rushed , or lets say, lack on planed implimentation..in the intro of the new **break-through". I don’t believe that there was a "rush" in the development/... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn Good observations. It seems pretty clear to me that Srajan was making the case that the new driver is "different " rather than better. It would be really nice if both speaker drivers were to be available. I believe that the new driv... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @ Lula, Try Underwood Hifi.com Charles | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy, Despite all of the comments from RS2T owners confirming improved sound quality with the use of a LPS, I didn’t order one right away. My intention was to listen to this transport in its “stock” condition with the SMPS wall wart. I wante... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy, 1, The linear power supply requirement is 20 volts/3 amps. 2, The I2s connection for the Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2 is proprietary and probably specific for their own sibling DAC. There's an outside chance it could work with another brand. Pro... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy, That is indeed a "very" nice system you have put together. The Pro-Ject RS2 transport will be right at home among those components/speakers. Once I receive my Fidelizer Nickola2 LPS I'll let you know what I hear. I'm a dedicated jazz he... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Seems to me if current Nenuphar owners have their system dialed in to their liking, I’d leave well enough alone. Or as Ebaen suggested you’re just changing components/cables again in an attempt to match the voicing of the new driver. If one fe... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy, "I think I’ve assembled my ideal set-up" Well, it sure looks good to me (What amplifier and speakers?). Please let us know your early listening impressions if you don’t mind. As you probably know this transport is supplied with a wall w... | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? @jerryg123 , "I can not imagine not having my AH Qualiton X200 in my system. experimented with SS again with GaN Class D and The New Bel Canto e.One ref301s (I may keep it) and the X200 wins hands down period." That much better? That's quite a... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition @wharfy , Hi, you are making a good choice. I received nearly 10 years of wonderful sound and reliability from the PWT. It’s better than many available CD transports in my opinion. The Pro-Ject transport is simply a level above in every conceiva... | |
| Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 I2S pin definition I can vouch for the the quality of execution of the Pro-Ject CD BOX RS2T Spdif connection. Genuinely excellent sound quality with my High Fidelity CT-1 Ultimate digital cable. Charles | |
| Lack of Lamm customer service? @rich121 , That is excellent news and glad to know it worked out well for you. Charles | |
| Selling off Tubes for Solid State, A Cooler Love Story? @roxy54, "Sounds like you've graduated from the Primaluna budget." I thought the same, very different market segment (Even at used pricing). Ypsilon and Dartzeel are both very fine solid state options. Charles | |
| Soulution 725 or Robert Koda Takumi k10? +1 @jond , It's been said before but at a level like this it's all about individual preference and taste. No dog in this group. As a tube guy I'd love to hear the sonic character and presentation differences between Aries Cerat and Thomas Mayer ... | |
| Soulution 725 or Robert Koda Takumi k10? I have no doubt that the Aries Cerat preamplifiers sound extraordinary. I’ve read/ heard very high praise of their Kassandra DAC and 813 output tubed SET amplifiers. Charles |
