And I much preferred the 2019 Refined Audio room to their room this year.
Different setup perhaps? They weren't using a SIT-3 this year.

@rwpollock Robert, has your move to tubes (Shindo and Aric Audio, etc.) changed your perspective on what's 'musically' achievable with the Nenuphars in the system chain? Thanks. |

Surprisingly to me, no. I have learned that the Nenuphars are sensitive to the quality of what's upstream, but then it comes down to personal preferences. Perhaps not unlike Stephen with his stable of different horses, I can listen quite happily using either a 300b or SIT-2 amp. If I do use the SIT, then I will pair it with a tube preamp. That said, I ended up here because I heard the Nens at AXPONA with an all solid state amplification chain.... |
