High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
Did the Nano-flo unleashed to the world ? Just curious if they have been offering for sale yet ?  
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
@twoleftears yes, I am aware of littlefuse but have never tried one. Interestingly, their Gold and Rodium series, which would have been the preferred one for audio, is not stocked in any reputable electronics store and there is a minimum quality o... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
There was one 005 for sale in usaudiomart just a few days back. I asked the seller what DAC he preferred. He courteously replied that he preferred the Holo Audio May by a good margin. Most DACs in this price range are mostly system dependent. 005 ... 
The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses
After living with the Purple fuses for quiet some time, I took all of them out from my system. Not sure if it’s my system but for some reason the Purple sounds a bit artificial for my taste - sometimes the soundstage is forward and brash with some... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
AFAIK the 005 is NOS If 005 works primarily in NOS mode, then one might try myriads of HqP filter/modulator combo to see if they like the sound of it. It all depends on personal taste - some like, some just don't.   and there is no facility ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
Up-sampling externally from s/w, like hqplayer, is only helpful when the DAC can work in a NOS mode (non over-sampling), otherwise the sound quality is mostly determined by the SRC within the DAC itself. Good candidates for nos DACs are  T+A, Holo...

I agree with @klh007 Lumin P1 or the X1 is very good alternative to Cary dms series but they are also lot more expensive. I think P1 runs around $10k, unless you get a substantial discount :-) ?

@benzman thanks, I can clearly see what you are trying to say. I was in the same boat early, however from experience with various AKM and ESS, including 9038pro, the AKM usually provided a more smoother sound compared to the ESS, while the ESS has...

@benzman I am very curious what did you lack in the Cary dms700 which prompted you to buy the 005 ? The Cary seems to be a very good DAC along with the streamer. Perhaps you wanted different sound ?   
High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260
@rixthetrick thanks. the info will come out anyway, so Agon putting censorship will probably not last long but I can see that they are merely following their policy. I have owned The Gate and Omega emats from late Tim/PPT and know effective they a...

@car123 what DAC were you using before ?  
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@ricevs I’ve been thinking about your detailed suggestion for rewiring the Nenuphars and wonder why you wouldn’t just procure enough of the wire you are using internally to go from voice coil to amp, skipping "speaker cable" altogether? The int...

Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
The Nenuphar is single driver and crossoverless. Where would one utilize a capacitor in this speaker? I was thinking maybe as a bypass cap to see if anything yields interesting. may not be a good idea after all :-)  
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@grannyring thanks for the feedback on the Vcap odams. Yes, I agree with you that they have an open and a bit bold character which may not be suitable for this speaker in particular.   I am making an assumption these speakers don’t currently ha...
