Hi to all from Germany!
Just finished the compete Thread. Wow, what a read! Thanks to all for the shared experiences, information's and for the very friendly and respectful conversation.
I'am very new to the hobby, two years, but badly infected with the hifi bug.
I made quite a journey in that short period of time. I'll never thought this would be possible when I started.
My first setup was a new Vincent SV237 MKII paired with a demo Q Acoustics Concept 500. Just used the internal DAC and a Tidal subscription, nothing more.
I found then a local dealer, since I had tones of fun and I was getting more and more involved and interested. He has brands like Aries Cerat, Jadis, Grandinote, Cube Audio, Viva Audio and so on. I was visiting a couple of listening events and was instantly hooked.
Today my setup is a Viva Audio Solistino, SOTM Switch with it's power supply, 432evo aeon, Audio Analogue AADAC, the Q Acoustics along with Audioplan Finefilter, PowerStar, 2 PowerPlants and two PSI Audio AVAA's
As a loaner from the mentioned dealer I have since 5 days the Nenuphar in use. I always have been amazed by it at the listening events. I was really happy to find out that they sound equally well in my living room, which has received, right from the beginning, constantly room treatment.
The lift in emotions, feelings and engagement that the Nenuphar delivers is truly special. The hole week I was happy to come home from work, just to spend the night in front of my stereo.
Needles to say that I am happily keeping them.
Sorry for all the writing, just got carried away. ;-)
Cheers!
