Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Nenuphars are very impressive indeed. Was concerned about how my large tube monoblocks would pair with them but they sound fantastic.     
Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions?
6SN7 based tube amp or get a Shindo if you can swing it!  
Halcro DM10 repair
Any progress with the repair?

@greenhorn20  good to hear. I’m considering woodpecker/blackbird.. or a SME 15A  
Putting together turntable rig
OP: how is your TT journey going?   
any Rethm owners out there?
@lockheed330 have you tried Nimak IC's?  Hard to find 6N Silver cables out there...   
AR VT80SE ... what should I buy next?
I had a VT80SE with the C3.0. It was good, but needed more power  it was a bit dry imo.  Then I go to demo a Raven Silhouette mk2 monoblock along with JC-1+, MC462, pass 350.8, Odyssey Kismet.  I bought the Silhouettes…       
Advice on turntable decision: Mac MT10, ProJect HL Signature 10 or Clear audio Ovation
How are you enjoying the Signature 10?   
odyssey kismet monpblock
Latest Kismet Monos are sound fantastic. Non-fatiguing, smooth sound with gobs of current. Will drive 2ohm loads with aplomb.   
Tyler Acoustics Highland H3.5 or Focal Aria 936
H3.5 would be a much better speaker than a Aria 936

@roxy54 have you heard of empathy? If you don't know why people are responding the way they are to your comment, you need some soul searching/therapy, probably both...     
DAC - DCS Bartok or the new Berkeley Alpha DAC 3
I have a Node2i, Pi2AES (roon endpoint), NUC (Roon rock), and Innuos Zen Mkiii. No contest, there are definitely improvements as you go up the chain. Look into a Innuos Zen MKIII as I think for the money, it's hard to beat.

Recommended streamers/servers?
I was skeptical at first but after trying a Innuos Zen Mk3, I am now a believer. With Innuos 2.0 fw, beats my dedicated NUC Roon setup.

Wondering how the extremely popular Holo May fits among these dacs.
