| Do I NEVER shut it off…? Word of mouth/grapevine says the Hugarian made Qualiton tube amplifiers are fabulous. More expensive than Quicksilver and Raven Audio though. Maybe different levels of performance to explain higher cost.Charles | |
| Do I NEVER shut it off…? posts06-12-2021 4:49pm’I leave the main power switch on but put my Diablo 300 into standby as recommended by Gryphon (either by remote or front touchpad) when I’m done for the nigh’That makes perfect sense. @jomohifi were you aware that your Diab... | |

| Do I NEVER shut it off…? @jomohifi, @ebm and @tvad provided you the correct information. Enjoy that amplifier 😊.Charles | |
| SET vs OTL "In a nutshell you have to be really careful about making broad stroke statements; when comparing SETs and OTLs it can go both ways insofar as to which comes out on top."Agree and it absolutely does go both ways. This topic has been discussed nume... | |
| upgrades By all indications the NAT Symmetrical Balanced preamplifier is exceptionally good sounding. Congratulations and I believe that youll be very happy with It.Charles | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? "Anything anybody does with tubes is simply slow and very colored"If that's his conclusion, so be it for him. Not even remotely close to my listening experiences. Horses for courses once again. +1 @david_ten. I guess we hear similarly 😊.Charles | |
| SET vs OTL @antigrunge2, It is interesting how people hear audio products and how it formulates opinion and decision making. Some OTLs may sound faster than some SET amplifiers. Some do not. Your experience with the Graaf and Wavac is similar to mine.Ive hea... | |

I could see you being happy with them and understandably so.The Cube Audio Nenuphar has received universal praise from profession... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure "You probably know this, but in case you do not: Srajan Ebaen of 6Moons has extensive experience / exposure with Voxativ and yet the Nenuphars moved him in a significant way."This is true.Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure but maybe I need to get over my "tube fear". Low power SET amplifiers are about as simple and straightforward as can be. Very few tubes (Or parts count in general) in these amplifiers and the DHT tubes have pretty good longevity. Also many of the... | |

A number of comments in this thread have touted the Bakoon amplifier as an excellent solid state choice for the Nenuphars. I do feel it’d be really beneficial to hear ... |
