Nenuphar, 50,000 mile tuneup

I’ve had my Cube Nenuphar for a few years now. They were the demo pair at AXPONA in “19. I drive them with a SIT3. The preamp is an LTA MZ3. VPI Classic TT. Soundsmith Paua cart. Sutherland 2020 phonostage. Triode Wire Labs loom.

I love my system. I can’t imagine it sounding better. Yet it keeps sounding better just the way it is.

And still I have the itch to upgrade.

My dreams are haunted by EMIA Silver phonostages and Murasakino cartridges.

Thales tonearms and Tellerium Q cables. It’s a strange hobby.

It conjures magic and brings profound genius into our rooms.

I just want more.

Whoever coined the term HighFi Heroin nailed it.
