If attending Capital Audiofest 2018, can you provide your review of the Ohm F-5015s
 Mapman, I look forward to reading your  show listening impressions when you have the time.  I recognize that you have quite extensive experience with this line of speakers over the years.  Do they mate  well with moderate power push pull tube amp... 
Luxman DA -06 Dac
Pennsy,Your continued use of the PS Audio Memory Player (MP) suggests it is serving you well and sounding good. The MP paired with the Luxman DAC should be superb as grannyring clearly noted  above. I don’t know to what degree the Luxman may excee...

1 "Overbuilt design" aspect of the Found Music 2A3 is an understatement 😊2 I wouldn’t throw frisbees in the vicinity of the this amplifier. With awareness and common sense I believe all will be fine. Mercury retifiers in the driver stage as well a...

Luxman DA -06 Dac
Hello pdreher, Thanks for your kind comments directed toward me and Bill. I do not doubt your listening impression of the PS Audio Memory player in your system. It’s very interesting (even amusing) how audio products can span such a range of outco... 
Luxman DA -06 Dac
Agree with Bill (grannyring) regarding opinion variance of audio components. No matter how excellent a component can sound to one listener invariably it will disappoint another. This is just a reality of the  High End audio experience . Pure subje...

Hi Pennsy, Do you currently own the PS Audio Memory Player(MP) or do you plan to buy It? If you do not own one can you arrange an audition? I ask because my experience with it is quite different from pdreher’s. It has been wonderful sounding and a... 
Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp
No one to my knowledge is suggesting the "shelling out of big bucks".The review is recommended simply as a source of further information. Home audition is certainly desirable if it can be arranged. I’ve found Srajan Ebaen’s reviews to be particula... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Hi Tom, For clarification is this new amplifier parallel SET(using 2 output 300bs running full single end mode).  Or are the 2 300bs per channel a push pull (PP) circuit? At 25 watts I suspect probably PP. Either way congratulations. Charles

Hi David Thanks for the correction regarding the Cube Audio Magus and the Cube Audio  Bliss C models and 6 Moons review/Blue Moon award. I should’ve looked it up to be sure rather than relying on memory. Charles

Ggking7, You mentioned the Cube Magus (8 inch driver) this speaker received the coveted Blue Moon award last year. So you know how impressed he was with its performance. It appears that the Nenuphar with the newly developed 10 inch driver and very... 
Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp
Hello ggking7,If you really decipher Srajan's glowing praise it would suggest that he's quite possibly more unimpressed by the Nenuphar than the voxativ models he is very familiar with. Send him an email for his thoughts  on this. He's actually pr...

Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
