| Speakers that are good with tubes @bigkidz Out 40wpc mono blocks drove the YG Acoustic Carmel speakers with ease and outperformed the $16K Class D amps no contest. I do not doubt your outcome. I’m a very firm believer in the sonic attributes of high quality class A amplifiers... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes @hilde45 To be clear, I agree with you on the importance of capable high quality output transformers. Equally important is the amplifier power supply robustness and quality. The OP is a bit vague and general. I believe posters are just trying to... | |
| Speakers that are good with tubes Yes, transformers are key to tube amp performance but now you are getting into tube amp selection. The original question was about speaker selection Correct. Charles | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @benjie All of this is happening with only 30 hrs of play. I can't wait to hear how they evolve after 100 or 200 hrs on them. And I have not even started to adjust toe-in or change spikes and footers or distance from the wall. I can say that ev... | |

| New Project RS2T transport @robshaw It is good to know that all continues well with your RS2T and overall you’re very happy. Happy New Year to you and your family. Charles | |
| Seeking DAC using the ESS ES9038PRO, but not a streamer @audiotroy not going to make a diierence the trinov would digitize the other dacs output so you would be throwing your money out This demands attention and investigation. No point in purchasing a High End capable DAC if you’re unable to maxim... | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @sns It is quite remarkable that not only has Abbas remained alive and somewhat safe, but that he’s able to continue producing audio components!!! Obviously I realize I was taking a chance, but I’m glad that I did. Charles | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? Bill, Your identification is accurate concerning his part selection. he does emphasize however that you have to properly mix and match these parts. For example he really likes the Blackgate capacitors and Audio Note non magnetic Tantalum resistor... | |

| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? @sns At the end of the day we are who we are.😊 You have a perfectionist streak that continues to push you ever further with exploratory zeal. There’s nothing wrong with that within reasonable boundaries (Which I believe you have). Admittedly I... |
