Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Just for clarity; at the present time there is only one version of the Enleum and that’s the 23R. Any other references are for older Bakoon models.

Thanks David for the advice. ricevs, I’ve been there and done it 30 or so years ago. I agree it does make a difference direct wiring. As a Cube dealer I’m not going to recommend as this would inevitably disqualify the warranty. It might be possib... 
Power Conditioning on the Cheap
Puritan PSM156 or 136 at a lower price point. 156 is more robust. Can be mounted vertically with special feet. The Puritan mains cable supplied is also very good.

Cube have made a video of V1 vs V2, it’s on YouTube.  
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
The performance of a mains cable does not depend on cost. I have found some reasonably priced cables to outperform horrendously expensive ones in test.  
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
Cables depend on system matching of course, but cheapish off the reel cables worth looking at would be Jupiter or Dueland, WE copies? Not tried yet but some good reports. Popular with tube supporters.  
$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please
Bakoon (used only atm), MHDT, Sparkler. Over budget would be Audial and Abbas.  
Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums
Currently Cube Nenuphar’s and Nenuphar Mini’s but I think most speakers at a lesser cost would benefit. Components as well on similar or use cups/balls/slate/spring DIY. See Barry Diament document.   
High End Intergraded comparisons, Marantz, McIntosh, Levinson, Luxman....
Definitely the Enleum 23R which is similar to the Bakoon13R which it replaces, is worth considering. There are other good options that are on my shortlist to try including Spec Corp and Soul Note.  
RIP Max Townshend
Very sad news. He will be missed, a legend in the Audio World. So sorry for your loss Sue and family. RIP Max

V1 or V2? Still a great speaker either way. Happy New Year to everyone.  
If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...

4mm and wise to do it horizontally. Some padding under so not resting on connectors. Stainless steel non magnetic hex is a good idea, thanks jollytinker.
