I just listened to the recently posted AVShowrooms video https://www.avshowrooms.com/cube-audio-nenuphar-loudspeakers.htmland for the first time in my experience I actually thought I could hear something of the quality of these speakers coming thr...

I am about to join the Nenuphar circle: on order with Jon at RefinedAudio to arrive in a couple of weeks.  I actually made this decision before finding this thread, but it's contents have corroborated what I have read elsewhere and provided helpfu...

After my move into a new house/listening room, I never purchased the Yeti 1400.  The wall power at the new place is much cleaner, although it doesn't give me that three dimensionality the Yeti imparted.  So it's still on my list after I recover fr...

Totally agree!  My hope is the 1400 will give me 2-3 hours of power without the fan coming on.  I hardly ever listen for more than two hours at one stretch...

BTW, I am somewhat surprised by the mixed response to hearing SQ enhancement using the GS battery as a power source.  I would not think the improvements to be that system dependent--everyone should benefit from cleaner power--but the difference is...

gme109Unfortunately I am temporarily buried by the avalanche of moving.  I should surface around the end of the month and then plan on installing the 1400 in the new digs.I can say that having sent the 400 back, I totally miss what it was doing fo...

One last quick update before my Yeti 400 goes back (because of the lithium battery GZ has to send a special return box). I tried the 400 powering just my ZOTL Ultralinear amp--all front end components back to the SR power conditioner.  I noticed a...

ayrefanThanks for your insightful analysis.  From what you say about the difference in SQ between the Yeti 400 and the1400, one might deduce that the greater "headroom" between the load and maximum output yields better results--beyond just getting...

benzmanFrom my experience with my Yeti 400 with a 70 watt load (exactly what my Shindo Giscours draws) you will get about 45 minutes (less time if you listen loud) before the fan comes on.  It stays on for about 3-4 minutes, then won't come back o...

runeenurThanks for the tip, but the odd thing about the fan on the Yeti 400 is that it comes on immediately with a load over 130 watts or so.  Meaning the battery is totally at room temperature.  Then it will stay on for 20 minutes or so and go of...

I unplugged my pre from the Yeti 400, so just DAC, relocker, and music server are being powered.  The fan has not turned on so I've had a chance to do some critical listening.  (FYI the load is now only 70 watts.)Still a huge bump in SQ--even with...

I just plugged in a Yeti 500 Lithium for my front end (pre, DAC, Relocker, music server, TT) which draws 123 watts according to the read out.  The fan, which is loud, has been on since I powered up and has not shut down even if I start charging un...
