I love those catalogs. Have bought a few things out of there as well, equipment and LP's.  Always happy with those guys.  
Shrink Totem 1's?
Here is a solution.....Hollow out 4" of the wall to make room for the speaker.  Tim Allen will come to help.  
Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!
I could never buy an exposed horn speaker like the one lubachi has shown, or Avantegarde no matter how they sound.  For a positive comment, those Vitus amplication products from Denmark have me drooling for an upgrade.  Just gorgeous.  
The rat’s nest of cabling. Large transformers in components.   My discovery.
All of us with tinnitus don't have to worry about EMI or other noise in our gear.  
Help me identify an amp

Have you heard the new Beatles in Mono, Capitol releases?

No God No! Say it Ain’t So!
This is the almighty $$$$$$ at work.  Usually, the first move will be to clear house and consolidate positions.  Next thing you know, Best Buy will be the place for MC.  {maybe]  
Phono preamp hum
No quiz.  It has been back in the box for a couple years.  I keep looking at it wondering what's wrong.  Thought maybe I could get some help as I am no tube genius.  Maybe I will give it away and let it drive someone else crazy.  
Phono preamp hum
@lewm  No it isn't.  @Kokomo  Nope, I have given up on it.  I have another unit that works fine.
