Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Fully agree with the feedback regarding optimised chain of electronics - something I have experience with. The amplifiers being used here are the ones with a proven synergy. Jazzon: What I’m hearing is the above frequency response. Dip in lowe... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Just had a demo of a pair of Cube Audio Jazzon and Nenuphar - pretty similar level of performance to be honest, with the Nenuphar having an smidge more polish, detail and soundstage - but I would happily go for the F10 select given the cost/benefi...

Any indication on target preamp pricing?  
Dac that has tone and timing?
Aqua La Voce or La Scala, agreed with others on terminator and Lampizator and worth investigating. I wouldn’t consider T+A or RME or Chord if your after the best in texture and tone. Holo audio DACs do not have the PRaT, of the Aqua. Schiit aud...

@toetapaudio are you UK based and running the 23R?  Please drop me a PM if you are. @realworldaudio - great videos, I came across your channel a while back and have learnt a lot - so thanks!  Have you ever heard the Cube in TQWT or MLTL vs your V...

I forgot to ask, will the new amp also take 2a3?  The LINLAI 2a3 apparently sound better than Elrog 300b, so high praise indeed.

Amazing answers - I just hope I can afford these!

I’m sure this will sound wonderful - but I can’t stop and think about why not simply run 845 SE, what are the sonic factors driving the adoption and development of 300b push-pull? I do understand the desire to avoid working with high voltages how...

Thanks @donsachs - looking forward to it.

Great news - I own a fully tricked out one of Dons SP14 builds.  Fantastic preamp. Will this new 300b push-pull require that much gain from a preamp (6SN7), or will it have normal input sensitivity? I'd also be very interested in an integrated v... 
To ROON or not to ROON ?
How about PlexAmp... seems interesting  
Less Is Really More - Schiit's New Yggdrasil DAC - Less Is More
Anyone compared Less is more vs Denafrips yet?  
Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB?
The only thing that might come close with Pink Faun Ultraclocked PCIe USB card  
Recommend me a Class A Integrated Amp (or sound like Class A amp)
Pass Labs, Jeff Rowland or (my favourite) Neurochrome DIY modules.  You can buy a kit straight from Tom - it's better than all of the aforementioned which I've owned.  
Which DACs are known to be sweet/rich/relaxed?
Going back to the suggestion of cables - I can really recommend Sommer Epilogue, XLR or RCA. It’s a really high end construction, but bargain price. It really helped me achieve a smoother & richer presentation, but still just as detailed. The...
