| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten did you move away from the Tekton and T+A system? | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? Makes zero difference. | |
| R2R Dac choices. Yes, it’s based on a chipset rather than discrete resistors. | |
| R2R Dac choices. You won't go wrong with Metrum IMO. And if you only have a digital front end, ie, you don't need source selection, Adagio or Jade would be fine. The less devices in the chain the better IMO. | |
| Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings? MusicMatters Blue Note stereos, Analogue Production jazz pressings, Dire Straits albums, originating Blue Notes in good conditions, Bill Evans. | |
| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? oh no no, "burn in" by all means, hell do it for 75000 hours. the sound will be so exquisite it's as if maidens from Asgard have come down and are singing to you. | |
| Difference Between DAC Types Any good dac is suitable for all types of music. If a dac doesn't sound good with particular genres of music, then its not a good dac. NOS R2R dacs sound different than Delta Sigma dacs but that's more of a preference issue than anything else. | |

| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane I would spend bulk of the budget on speakers, and then a very good source. At this level, Onyx is certainly not going to be the limiting factor. | |
| Dynaudio C4 old stock discounted I’d be worried if they were 40 years old. You realize people keep audiophile electronics for 20 to 50 years right? They change hands yeah but they survive. Else what are you paying for exactly? The wood finishing? | |
| Eastern Electric out of business? Best of luck, love my Minimax phonostage!!! | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane Jan Garbareck - Pygmy Lullaby - Sax is center focused, percussion starts stage slight left backstage with the hand held tambourine drums (I believe that's the instrument) slight right backstage. Then the percussion comes in at stage right backstag... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane I have been very busy but I will get back to my impressions on known audiophile tracks as well the tracks you mentioned. One quick note is as a headphone listener your experience of soundstage is different than a primarily speaker listener. Of cou... |
