Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@charles1dad "Low power SET amplifiers are about as simple and straightforward as can be. Very few tubes (Or parts count in general) in these amplifiers and the DHT tubes have pretty good longevity. Also many of them are auto bias designed or simp...

@ riaa_award_collectors_on_facebook The dealer is a low powered tube/high sensitivity speaker proponent. It was due to my request he paired the Nenuphars with the SS amps mentioned above. He is not a Pass Labs dealer so didn't have the SIT amps a...

Following are my impressions of my audition of Cube Nenuphars: Please note only digital source was used to keep everything simple and quick switching of tracks. My dealer had all the Cube models on the floor but I only focused on the Nenuphars. Ge...

Modwright PS 9.0 or PS Audio Steller Phono Preamp?
@bluorion An update. I did purchase the ModWright PH9.0. In every sense, it is superior to the inbuilt phono stage in my Moon 390. My power amp is Moon 330A as well. More air and openness without sounding too tubey! I am really enjoying my Modwrig... 
Hana SL or ML?

Hana SL or ML?
@anovak Thanks! I have Sim Audio phono as well. It is built in my Sim Audio Moon 390 preamp. Do you run your Jolida phono with tube pre/power or solid state amps?  
Hana SL or ML?
