| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks After 24 hours on both the ViaBlue and the Belden I'll say that the Sablon is the most enjoyable cable. I'll put 150 hours on each and report again. The Belden is very intriguing in that it is certainly the most direct and immediate sounding. I... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I put the Belden in yesterday and had a listen. It's been breaking in overnight and when I listen later today it will have 24 hours on it. I also just received the ViaBlue today but haven't taken it out of the packaging. Does anyone know how lo... | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks Ignore that question: I've read up on both now. | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I've been reading about the Gigafoil V4. Have you heard of this device? I'm wondering if the EtherREGEN (in it's "Active Differential Isolation Moat") is using different technology to do pretty much the same sort of thing? | |
| ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks I've ordered a cable that is pretty much identical to the ghentaudio cable. It too is made with Belden 1303E CAT6A Ethernet cable. The company is "designacable" from the UK. Interestingly enough, I also have the ViaBlue on order from Triton. B... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers With my Thomas Mayer 45/2a3 I always listen at peaks of 90db and that's only because I live in a condo -- I'd like to push it higher most of the time. On most songs I could push it to mid-90s without feeling uncomfortable. My speakers are probab... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Yes, those vintage drivers and their Japanese clones are pricey. I haven't had the pleasure of hearing either.I heard the Odeon in the same system as the Nenuphar. Neither was drivable by my 45. When driven by a more powerful amp, I preferred the... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Yes, it certainly isn't as efficient as the Charney or the AN-Es. My 45 amp wasn't able to drive the Nenuphars. I ended up using a 32 watt PSET.Cost and room-size are limitations for me with regards to large horn systems. I have, however, heard... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Thank you for this.If you've heard the Cube Audio Nenuphar single driver speaker, I wondering if you can speak to how it compares sonically to the Charney.The folks at AVS showrooms seem to like single-driver speakers and I've heard them speak of ... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers Great thread. Thanks to all. I too am using 45s on AN-Es but I can hear the limitations. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure A very key aspect regarding the Nenuphar is it was designed ’specifically ’ to be driven by SET amplifiers with high output impedance/ very low damping factor (DF). I could imagine a perceived "dryness" to the sound of this speaker if the amplifi... | |
| Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others? I demoed the Cube Audio Nenuphar again yesterday and it’s a fantastic speaker. I’ve posted a few thoughts about it over on its own thread. If you’re looking for a Harbeth, Spendor, AN sound, this speakers might not be for you. I also demoed the Od... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure This thread is about the Nenuphar so I hesitate to talk about other speakers. I did demo a German horn speaker in the same system that I heard the Nenuphar. I found it shockingly good. My only decision now will be to purchase it or the model one... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I demoed the Nenuphar again today. It's a really incredible speaker. For my taste, however, it was a little 'dry' and didn't have the emotional impact that I'm used to and looking for. With the right associated equipment I suspect (hope) I cou... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure I heard them on April 3 at a dealer.I was intrigued enough by the sound to get a home audition. I don't want to say much more because it was a system and room that I wasn't familiar with. I'm not sure when I'll get the home audition but I'll be ... |
