| Cayin A100T vs Spark MT-100k Without looking looking at specs of both models i can tell you spark/cayin is same oem. I know so because i was in authorized seller in hong kong and they told me cayin is "export" name and spark brand was sold in same shop. There maybe minor spec... | |
| Totem speakers and others that I should consider? I have to reluctantly agree with Sleepless on the SEAS tweeter...it wore me out after 15 mins of music.Owned Arros, thought I "upgraded" to Model 1 Sigs...felt like someone was shouting at me after a few songs. Couldn't take it anymore...went back... | |
| NAD T 747 vs. Marantz SR6005 Having owned previous generations of BOTH NAD "74x" & "75x" series, Marantz "500x" & "600x"...I give the nod to Marantz.You will be pleased with sound quality of both receivers. However, NAD 747 is more comparable to Marantz 5005. Marantz ... | |

| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? please read what I wrote in 2006...this thread should be long dead. | |
| need advice, am looking at Marantz sr6004 receiver Here's reviews for 6004 & competitors.http://www.digitaltrends.com/product-reviews/home-audio-reviews/ | |
| Prima Luna Dialogue 2 or Cayin A100? I haven't heard PL's before, but both PL & Cayin's OEM = Spark Audio...so build quality should be similar.PL probably has better after sales service/warranty/advice here in North America.Having said that, like Newbee says, resale value for PL ... | |
| Marantz AV: Marantz NR1501 vs sr5004 etc... If you purchased 2 years ago, you have 5003 as 5004 just got released.I dunno if amp is class D or a/b...just check Marantz's website I guess.Again, I liked the brief time I spent with the 1501...but I would not change your receiver to 1501 just t... | |
| Marantz AV: Marantz NR1501 vs sr5004 etc... My buddy just purchaed 1501 2 weeks ago so I can give an opinion.His 1501 is used to drive B&W 6 series towers and there was more than enough juice and overall sound was pleasant. Having said that, the metal dome tweeters of B&W gave me a ... | |

| NAD M3 V Vincent 236MKII any experiences?? Shengya's are NOT knockoffs of Vincent...they are/were OEM for them.I was in Hong Kong a few years ago saw Shengya gear sold JUST to have Vincent announce their similar "new" equipment months later.I don't know what's worse...chinese knock offsOR ... | |
| High frequency noise from Totem tweeter This is spooky, it happened to me also playing a diana krall song.I phoned totem and in my case the high pitch frequency was caused by TWEETER speaker wire rubbing/vibrating against each other at certain frequencies.The fix was to simply to open t... | |
| Totem Dreamcatcher vs. Arro As I own both DC & Arro's currently, here's my opinion.Obviously, they have similar tone as they compatible for HT applications and tone & imaging is where I think the Arro's really shine.Arros are indeed superior because they are fuller s... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Bargie,I had Staff/Cayin combo before and was happy with combo. Went back to Arro/Cayin combo only because I like imaging/tonality of Arro's more.Cayin amp is quite good, even my friend admitted his Arro/SS amp w/3x more "watts" didn't sound as in... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Yup, totally agree with bluepearl.Owned Model 1 sigs and tweeter, just tired me out after 30mins.Staff has overall has smoother presentation, just doesn't go as deep and loud as Forests.Definetely prefer soft domes. |
