| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read The government sanctioned recreational drug, alcohol is a far more dangerous drug than pot. I dont know of anyone who beat their wife, lost there family, wreaked their car, killed someone on the highway or in a rage.....because they smoked pot. Th... | |
| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read Search failed, what is the title of the story? | |
| Speaker break-in tips.. The info with my Totem 1s suggested low to moderate levels for the first hours, so it might be a good idea to take it easy for a while. Also, a mono signal should cancel more of the output when running one speaker out of phase. | |
| Tonearm/table compatibility? I would suggest you look at Origin Live tonearms. They mount anywhere the ubiquitous Regas would go. Tonearm/cartridge match is just as important, so talk to someone about the cartridge you will want to use. | |

| Quad 12L or Rogers LS3/5A 11Ohms My brother in law has the LS3/5a and loves them....had his tweeters replaced, (has had them forever). The Quad is hardly a 'run of the mill' box, they are quite good. You should hear both..... the Quad will give you greater output capability. You ... | |
| Target turntable stand the best way to eliminate They work great, should be the answer. | |
| Damping Rega Table The wall mount suggestion is a great one, especially if your room is not on a slab. Try three spikes that are squat and look like cones, they can really 'drain' resonance from the plinth. You can also make a sandbox type base for it to sit on top ... | |
| Pass labs and Totems? My friend uses a Bedini 25/25 class A amp with Totem 1s and it does a great job driving them. The Pass might just work well after all. | |
| Best solid state power amp for $1k I would include the latest offerings from Quad and Marsh. You might find a Quad 909 for around $1000 or so and the Marsh 200 and 400 for a little below and above $1000. All worth listen. | |
| New system too bright.Will different cables help ? Start with the DH Lab cables, if they are the silver plated copper ones they can sound bright. If that dosent do it, find someone who will help by switching some of their stuff in and out untill you track down the culprit. Some combinations just d... | |
| Johnny Cash - Rest in Peace When I saw the 'Hurt' video, it was the first video that ever moved me. I used to watch his show when I was a kid.... didnt like country that much, but loved Johnny Cash. A real American Icon. 'American Recordings' was a wonderful surprise, and th... | |

| What does your common sense tell you? The resposibility is on the buyer to make their intentions known. Waiting for an unresponsive possible buyer can cost you the sale. Make clear that other buyers are interested and your intentions and your side is done. People here know if you snoo... |
