David, I want to add my sympathy and concern over your situation.  Having been through a similar although not as serious hurricane catastrophe, the thing I wish most for you is an honest and responsive contractor to begin addressing repairs.  Reco...

david_ten Yes, I am seriously considering the Thoress EHTs although more likely the integrated version which would allow me to sell the VR L2iSE and bank the difference towards an upgrade to a Totaldac D1 Direct. Reinhard did offer a 10 day in hom...

@jollytinker  Thanks for your response.  Reinhard Thoress just responded to my inquiry via their website, which he says is sorely out of date.  He does offer the newer version of the EHT monos for 12.950 Euros and an integrated version for 8.950. ...

The EHTs totally missed my radar.  SE's review inspired poetic writing you rarely see from him and this together with what @jollytinker has added has whetted my curiosity.  After some reading I'm very intrigued by the design of the EHT's and looke...

khragon Meant to ask what pre you have in front of the SIT-2? 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
khragon Impressive set up!  Thanks for sending photos.  Rare to see the Nens with the grills.  Don't think mine even came with.  More importantly I see how you've installed the Apherions (and subs) and I'm thinking I will try the supertweeters giv...

khragon Thanks for posting about your use of the Apherion supertweeter. I’m curious about how you have them installed. If they sit on top of the speaker, the rake would make them point far over the listener’s head at the front. My understanding is...

Charles  However Srajan did have a positive experience using the two Advantages Audio super tweeters with the Nenuphars: https://6moons.com/audioreview_articles/avantages2/These are omni directional super tweeters for what that's worth.

Robert  Thanks for update on tubes.  I believe the Takatsuki are VR's preferred DHT's for the L2iSE.Charles  I wish I knew the 300b better as a driver.  Wondering in fact if there's anyone on the thread who is driving the Nens with the 300bs, can'...

Robert  Please share your findings with tube trials in the VR L2iSE.  I have only tried Electro Harmonix and Elrog 300bs and the Linlai 2A3.The latter was a clear winner, I mentioned it's attributes in an earlier post and Srajan has a very positiv...

rwpollockAlways nice to hear one's ears corroborated--although I auditioned the FirstWatt SIT-1s not the 2s and did not audition the Bakoon 13-R or the LTA Z10--although did audition the LTA Ultralinear.  I am curious how the L2iSE would stack up ...

Thanks Charles, I too enjoy your input, which reflects a lot more accumulated knowledge than I have about our hobby (I almost said sport, moving/auditioning a lot of equipment can give it that edge).  And yes, riaa_award, I think you're spot on re...

Hi David.  I'm still waiting on delivery of those dacs to audition.  I'm hoping at least one arrives before I take off June 1 for a couple of months.But I did have the chance to audition the Pass Labs INT 25 in my system.  As many know, this is a ...

David, thanks for tip on T+A's SD 3100HV.cal3713 Have certainly read impressive things about the Aries-cerat new dac.  Not sure if I could finagle a home audition though and I no longer buy anything without.I have researched the SW1X dacs and have...
