| BACCH4Mac: More Than It's Cracked Up To Be? @sm121055 The program is installed on my MacBookPro which runs Roon and connects to my DAC via USB. My streamer is connected through the LAN and only serves as my Roon core. Best to email the BACCH site and found out how they would configure it o... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @musicaddict Thanks for your input. Yes, the X2's are fabulous in every way except for this limitation, which, as I've said, might be saving my hearing. I have thought of high passing the Z2s which sounds like it would solve this problem and may... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @msstl Interesting analysis. Thanks for doing it. Explains a lot. Because this movement starts so softly, my tendency was to begin listening at around 80db, which meant--because of the extreme dynamic range--by the time I hit the peaked highs ... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @misstl I misspoke at the onset. It is Shostakovich's 8th (The Stalingrad) not Mahler's 8th. The 2016 DG recording with Andris Nelsons conducting the Boston Symphony. It is approximately 2/3 of the way through the final movement, Allegretto. Th... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @erik_squires I tried plugging the ports with dense foam, did not influence the "snap". @onhwy61 I downloaded Decibel X on my iPhone and the crescendo where the peak appears spiked to 95db. @mijostyn My program source is Qobuz streamed through a... | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume @erik_squires Thanks for the suggestion. I will try that although the snap comes at high peaks not low. Should have mentioned that. | |
| Loud Snap at High Volume Don't know where the ribbons are crossed over. This is my first experience with ribbon tweeters. Love the sound of them, but maybe they can't be pushed. Discouraging. | |
| Talk about modems I've been thinking of doing same. What LPS did you buy for the Netgear CM500? Thanks. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @david_ten Thanks, David! | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure It has been a pleasure and an education participating in this thread. Learned a bunch that helped me appreciate not only my Nenuphars but this hobby. I’ve moved on from the Nenuphars to the Boressen Z2 Cryo edition speakers. A leap forward in eve... | |
| Fleetwood Sound Company Have been following the Fleetwood Deville speakers with interest but have not encountered anyone comparing them to the Cube Audio Nenuphar. Totally different technologies, yes, but many people respond similarly to the two speakers. Anyone have ex... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @dspringham I noticed that you have your Nenuphars for sale on USAudiomart. Looks like you have moved on to the Harbeth 40.3's. Would very much like to hear reasons for the change: specifically what you feel are the Harbeth's advantages over the ... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure david_ten LOL. You've got my number. If I could audition them in my room for 14 days, then yes, they might be in my future. But I suffer not with the Nens and I have a feeling the two speakers have a lot in common despite vastly different techn... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure Here's Steve Huff's review of the Enleum 23R. You have to appreciate his enthusiasm especially if you've heard this imp of an amp drive the Nenuphars. Everything he says applies. http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2022/05/26/the-enleum-amp23r-le... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @debjit_g eager to hear what you think of the "music purifiers" and also very interested in your changing out the internal wire. Want to hear more about optimum wire before making the leap. To add to the wire discussion: I bought a pair of Silve... |
