| Good Amp with totem model 1s? My TAD 60 does wonderful things with my Mani-2s even though it's underpowered for them. I bet it would be a perfect combination with the model 1. The TAD 60 comes up for sale used now and then for $750-800 and is a bargain at that price. I'll also... | |
| How do you negotiate a cure for wrong audio view Chashmal, I understand your perspective and agree with it in part. I was a music lover long before I was an audiophile. But, when I'm listening, I'm not confused about the objective. I really have not experienced this problem.The thing is, there a... | |
| T-amp Experience Anyone ? I have 2 Trends 10.1s and they're great, but be realistic for the ~$100 you pay. I use them in remote/spare systems, normally with PC or ipod input. If you drive efficient speakers they sound great, but unless they're 100db efficient, don't expect... | |
| Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help The sub , that I tried to use , was a Velodyne DD series . . . . no slouch of a sub, and I certainly didn't mean to imply by my statement that you tried a "cheap sub". I guess the proverbial "YMMV" disclaimer applies to sub integration in a 2 cha... | |
| B&K Reference 4430 3-channel check all of the fuses. You'll need to open it up and find the fuses that are installed on the driver board. I've had this issue with one of my B&K amps and it turned out I had a blown fuse on the driver board.in the process, you may want to g... | |
| Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help Does SONY CDP/DVDp work with warm tubed integrateds like Primalula Prologue 2 ? I heard people saying SONYs sound cooler and may not work well if someone is looking for warm and sweet sounding mid-range and vocals.I run a tube preamp with ss amps ... | |
| Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help IMHO your best option by far is to add a subwoofer. Either of the Rel subs will integrate nicely with your Arros. I have a Rel Storm III and used it for as while with Totem Sttafs - the result was an entirely different listening experience.While I... | |
| Suggestions for an affordable pre/pro I'd suggest considering a Lexicon DC-1 (with version 4.0 firmware). I've seen them for <$500 recently loaded with Dolby Digital and DTS. I'm not familiar with the others but it sounds better than the B&K Ref 30 in both Theater and 2 channel... | |
| Cowboy Junkies: Lay It Down fav cd? I have most of their releases and "Lay it Down" is my favorite. "One Soul Now" isn't far behind. "Trinity Sessions" (Original and Revisited) is up there too. Actually, I haven't heard anything they've done that I don't like a lot. | |

| cheap tweak for glass platter 'tables pre-made mats from that material have been for sale on ebay for a long time. I always wondered if they're any good. | |
| Pictures, More Pictures Here's my view - If I'm selling a hi$ component, and a prospective buyer requests more pictures, or asks nitty questions, I don't think for a nanosecond about whether to comply. It takes at most 10 min to take shots from multiple angles and upload... | |
| Pictures, More Pictures You're selling gear for ~$5000 and more - I would want to see multiple views with hi-res before I decided to drop that amount of cash. I also think the requests are reasonable.As a seller, I prefer to send off all of the hi res pics I can - as it ... | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's Hey...I am amazed that any tube amp can do them justice, because of the enormous power needed to drive the deadly combination of 3-4 ohm/83db efficiency issue.I thought this too until I plugged my Manis into my Tad 60 tube amp. In addition, I had ... |
