| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Hi Steven , I have zero doubt that some listeners will find super tweeters and subwoofer augmentation beneficial with the Nenuphars. I was just expressing the point that many will find them just fine "au naturel" 😊.Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stevendunn, In a way I’m not surprised by your listening impressions using a super tweeter. I just do not believe that the Nenuphar needs this assistance in the ’vast' majority of listening situations. Cube Audio developed a remarkable wide/full ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @rwpollock, That's a good observation. Ironic in the sense that the design concept from the very beginning of the Nenuphar was to mate with low power SET amplifiers. It's been established on this thread and elsewhere that solid state amplifiers c... | |
| Jazz Music Question @dsper, This genre or era (Basically early1950s to early 1960s) is classified as "Hard Bop". This genre evolved from the "Be Bop" of the mid to late 1940s. There’s a ton of superb musicians and recordings to explore.Record Labels from this timefr... | |
| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 @cb3489, I thought that the Tekton Perfect SET speakers would be a wonderful match with your 300b SET and happy to know this is the case. I'm sure your music reproduction is gratifying and very engaging. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stevendunn, I can't recall a single mention of a 300b SET amplifier and Nenuphar pairing. I believe that it would be as successful as the 2A3 SET amplifier. Both excellent choices with different sonic signatures and presentations. Charles | |
| Cayin A-300b vs Muzishare x9 @cb3489, I have to believe that the Tekton Perfect SET speakers are a better match with your X9 300b SET compared to the less efficient and sensitive KEFs. What has improved sonically in your opinion (Or am I being presumptuous?).Charles | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Very well stated jbhiller. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I realize that the 300b tube is being discussed in the context of utilization for preamplifier section duty. I've only used them as output tubes in power amplifiers. I do believe that to get the best from this splendid (My opinion) tube you have ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I don’t see a problem with swapping out capacitors. Listen and evaluate what you hear. The original capacitors can simply be re-installed if no improved sound quality was obtained. In some circumstances the capacitors (Resistors as well) in the si... | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @bigkidz has a very impressive stable of highly regarded CD transports. That he finds the Pro-Ject CD transport better sounding is quite a testament. Charles | |
| pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3 @unsound noted,’He’s been doing that back when he posted under a different name. Something like robberjerman’. Yep, It sure seems like the same guy with the same tiresome rants.@jriggy I suspect many would agree with your comment. Charles | |
| 100 watts enough? @tarheelneil51,The listening distance (4 meters) factor was accounted for in kijanki’s calculations. See his post above.’Based upon the information supplied by the OP, I would go with quality over quantity.’, Per @onhwy61.Yep, this is my point. A ... | |
| Embrace The Joy Of Microphonic Equipment Agree with @bigkidz. I can attest to the organic beauty and transparent nature of the 101D if well implemented. Superb sound quality as utilized in my line stage. Isolation within the chassis was successfully achieved. Charles | |
| 100 watts enough? @unsound I hear you. I’m just basing it the OP suggesting his listening levels are modest. "I don’t ever crank it up". OP hasn’t chimed in to say what exactly those listening levels are in db for a better understanding. Modest levels to me would b... |
