@exlibris I now have over 550 hours on the Nenuphars and they are stunning, within the context of my system.
Placement and some system related changes / improvements have helped enhance performance. I'll be moving from JJ to EML (SP) tubes for the Found-Music 2A3 monoblocks, by the end of the week. Other system level applications are also breaking in.
I'll start a dedicated thread, in a few weeks, once the system is settled.
Thanks to all for your help prior to, and along the journey.
