| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure With the “many” owner feedback comments and reviews, this is the first time I have read the Nenuphars described as “shouty “ and forward. Charles | |
| Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm @atmasphere Roger's amps were designed so this technique could be used. Most amps are not. Roger's amps also used feedback and his recommendation relied on this Thank you Ralph. I realized this distinction after reading the reply from @clio09... | |
| Hooked up an old realistic power meter @knotscott Totally believable and consistent with my experience. I've gone from 255 wpc to 12wpc, and get much better sound from a better sounding amp. That must have been quite the revelation for you. Granted, it won’t be the outcome in ev... | |
| Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm @clio09 Thank you for posting Roger’s explanation and rationale for light loading his tube amplifiers. So it seems the way his output transformers were wound made the difference. Ralph made a good case for using an 8 ohm tap for an 8 olm impedan... | |
| Amplifier circuitry-4 ohm vs 8 ohm @atmasphere What you suggest makes sense. However, I do recall that the late Roger Modjeski (RAM Labs Music Reference Audio) advocated “light loading” of amplifiers. He recommended using a tube amplifier’s 4 ohm tap to drive an 8 ohm speaker lo... | |
| Hooked up an old realistic power meter @norton Your findings aren’t that surprising to me. I do believe that the often stated need for reasonable amplifier “headroom “ is logical but can be overstated. I find myself generally in the same camp as @carlsbad2 . If possible borrow a high... | |

| What's your DAC's sweet spot for sampling rates? @erik_squires PS - Upsampling and Oversampling are different True. I was just noting @roxy54 comment regarding ANK /Audio Note and their approach. No over sampling or up sampling. Without question it’s personal preference. Undoubtedly implemen... | |
| Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer @tubeguy45 Thank you. Charles | |
| What's your DAC's sweet spot for sampling rates? @roxy54 None! ANK non oversampling is the best that I have owned Yep! You are not a lone wolf in the wilderness. Not everyone is into the algorithms/manipulation and filtering approach. Horses for courses. Charles | |
| Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer THE MANO-ULTRA MK-lll is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED @tubeguy45 Appreciate your input and listening impressions. How simple is it to set up and navigate Qobuz and Tidal? Word of mouth feedback regarding sound quality is very positive. I’m curious abo... | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? @recklesskelly +1 Have a terrific Memorial weekend. Charles | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? @recklesskelly Yikes circle the wagons Not really. I just quoted your comment above, “dull and one dimensional audiophile”. It’s what you wrote. How is one to infer that? Anyway as I said, this is your opinion and that’s fine. I am glad tha... | |
| Roon….The Gordon Knot of concierge musical services? @recklesskelly Keeps Jack from being a dull one dimensional audiophile. You are entitled to your own opinion for sure. I’d hardly say that @nonoise or anyone else who is not particularly interested in streaming music is “dull and one dimensio... |
