| Recommended Bookshelf Speakers $1200 get a set of used totem arros. they are very slim and short floorstanders, but they will amaze you | |
| Do Acoustic Zen Adagios still live up to the Hype i have mine for at least three years now, run them with 100wpc tube amp monoblocks, and really love the sound. if your not happy with these, its only because you are used to much more expensive speakers, or your equipment upstream is inadequate. t... | |
| Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker? i have the adagios in the mappa, not pink but a nice golden glossy finish, and really love them with tubes. for around 2k used, you would have a hard time beating them. | |
| Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand neko case and brandi carlile. you will thank me | |
| Integrated Jolida, Xindak, Doge, MF i owned a jungson 88 integrated. traded it for a 50wpc el34 based tube integrated, the result wasn't even close. tube all the way. | |
| Full Range Drivers there is a nice pair of cardersound ninas listed in the classifieds. look at that, i have them, and supplemented witha dayton sub they are the system that thrills me the most. multiple other systems (acoustic zen, linn aktiv, totem) | |
| shopping and need advice try totem, the arro for around 750 used is in your budget, has a great sound. | |
| Jungson or other chinese CD players? i bought a jungson from a dealer in the us. when the remote just stopped working, no one would replace it, and they charged me 35$ in shipping just to find out they could not produce a working remote for a player less than 5 yers old. there are be... | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? as to your question of hdmi and standard def pics, the real differnce is that most home theater receivers and universal players will only upscale those pics through the hdmi for compliance issues. big differnce in quality. | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required get yourself a sub to borrow and see if that fills out your sound, try using the speaker connections and free your speakers up a little from carrying the low end. even ina small room, maybe a 10 inch driver, would give you a sound you do not have. . | |
| Favourite Vinyl female and male vocals try neko case especially fox confessor, great sound witha unique voice | |
| Subwoofer for Acoustic Zen Adagio? I use a totem lightning sub for help on the lowest end reinforcement. works well to my ear. however these are no longer made by totem, their newer subs are smaller. like totem, i would look for other companies specializing in smaller driver speakers. | |
| Vintage tube guys look for tad 1000k mono tubes or tad-60. paul uses 60's technology, with some sprucing up of his own creation, to give what he might say is the king of 60's hifi sound. i run my monos with the tad sig 150 pre-amp with a pair of acoustic zen adagio... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? i agree one hundred percent. this business about lowend turntables beating even mid-fi cd players is ridiculous. the poppping and cracking, compared to good digital with tube amps and dacs, makes even new albums unacceptable. however, i have heard... | |
| How much tube power for Totem Arros small room? i have arros for many years. you need at least 40wpc according to totem. however, these speakers can be very dynamic with ss power. i would try a nice integrated with at least 120 wpc. something that feeds the small drivers some real current.a |
