Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
Is the Oregon Triode meetup still in the plans? I live in Portland, for now, and I'm interested in the Raven pre and maybe the amps at some point. Hoping to still be in Portland if this meetup happens.  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
Great write up. They sound promising. Wonder if they’ll continue to open up.

@vthokie83  I'm curious what speakers did you have previously and what is the rest of the system? Thanks, glad you're enjoying them!  
Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers
@nonoise I struggled saying the highs are edgy because I don't think that's fair. I think that comes from me being so used to the sound of the Cubes which are so natural sounding in the highs. I don't really want to compare because the Cubes are 5... 
Shout out to Revival Audio Atalante 3 speakers
This thread is a bit old but I just received a pair of Atalante 3's that I picked up from The Music Room. My normal speakers are Cube Nenuphar Mini's V2. These are single driver, no crossover speakers that cost about 12k. I love them but single dr...

Those baffles look nice. The exposed crossover components look a bit DIY, but the quality is there, and one reason the speaker is $3k and not more. I have a pair of walnut on order. Clayton sent me a photo of an unfinished walnut baffle. I'll see...

I'm planning on ordering but might wait until I see some people get production units.  
New Generation Class D - AGD Audion Mkiii upgrade
@tonnesen  Any update on your experience? Were you also able to try the Atmasphere class D?  
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
The Enleum is also an amp that I'd consider, as well as LTA amps, which are tube based but don't get that hot. I know the Cubes are supposed to sound better with low damped amps. I've tried a bunch of amps and have found these speakers sound grea... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
@whitestix @charles1dad I had a similar experience with my Nenuphar Mini’s. Bsically, the first year I owned them it was a love/hate experience. Often, I was enamored with the sound and loved the transparency without harshness. However, as my pr... 
300b lovers
I just scanned through this thread and while some is over my head, it is extremely informative. I love reading the journey behind the development of a new product, especially when the main driver is to create the best sound instead of the most pro... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
I’ve seen this amp and was also intrigued by the switchable damping factor. How did it sound with the DF set at 250? Anyone try any of the Luxman Class A integrateds with Nenuphars? I am curious to try the L590axII integrated and just simplify to... 
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@hubbman  thanks for the review. I have the May KTE Dac and love it (also have the Serene KTE pre). I spent the past couple years experiencing a lot of great dacs (PS Audio, Lampizator, SW1X, Denafrips Terminator, Berkeley Alpha, etc....), but wh... 
Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii
I was able to get the l590axii for a great price. I have to go out of town so I won’t receive it for a couple weeks. Curious if anyone has used one with an external amp? I love tube amps and have a couple plus a First Watt SIT3. I plan on playing ... 
Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii
Thanks. Why did you settle on the Pass vs Luxman? All have strengths and are beautiful products. What speakers are you driving?
