| Shrink Totem 1's? Repair or replace that tweeter and sell them. Then buy something that works as is. Those are great, very well made speakers, with nicely braced and crafted cabinets. As a lover of "vintage" Totem products, I am appalled that you want to chop down ... | |
| Shrink Totem 1's? Why not cut your amp in half while you're at it. Save space and use less energy. | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @fthompson251 Are you still saving for the Spatial Audio Raven pre amp? I am leaning towards the Atma-Sphere MP3, or a used LTA with level two upgrades. The MP3 is superior, but twice the price, and they do not come up for sale used. Well only v... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! @minatophase3 Did you have any problems with the S5.5 blowing the ceramic fuse? Plus, I can only find one place to buy the slow blow 12A 5x20mm, Revolution Power. Partsconnexion doesn't have that size and spec in stock. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? I have read many negative comments on forums over the years about Cary’s service department. Plus bad customer service. Are they really to be avoided? If so I’m scratching the SPL-05 pre amp off of my list. | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? Thanks avanti1960, that’s very helpful. I am favoring a Coda amp, or possibly the Atma-Sphere class D mono’s.They both have balanced and single ended inputs. The Coda has 26db of gain, the Atma-Sphere class D has 22db. So if I want to run balanced... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition The Kirmuss is an effective system, you just have to be willing to spend the time needed to perform the cleaning process for each album you clean. @vinylvalet, is there no rinse involved with the HumminGuru? Thats an attractive price, even for t... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? @immatthewj, Thank you. | |
| Best standmounts with a 7" woofer/driver My choice is always the Totem Mani II. Although the bass driver is 6 1/2”, there are two in an isobarik formation. I haven’t heard all the stand mounts out there, but nothing else comes close. With great stands and a proper amp they are excellent,... | |
| Happy listening in SoCal Hair Gell Boy up in Sac will NEVER bring lower rates to our state, so don't get your hopes up. The lowest rate tier was 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM. If they dropped anything it would be that one. Thats the time for instance, when swimming pool owners run t... | |
| Is the Cary SLP-05 still relavant? If any of you guys are still around, help me out here please. I'm a little confused on gain matching. The gain is high, 24db with balanced outputs, on the SLP-05. What is the ideal amplifier gain, or gain range for optimum performance match? | |
| Rays Tubes Sounds very much like the Wathen Cryotone tubes, without the cryo. They start with chinese tubes and screen out the best ones. You get a good new production tube at a new old stock price. | |
| Integrated Amps @ tkrtrb125 Thats just rude and un necessary. I imagine WBF would punt you as well for being a hater. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp “I noticed today they raised the price from $5495 to $5895” Damn. I was saving up to order one. It was really pricey for me before, now it’s just too much, I’m out. I guess I figure out what’s the second best choice. Oh well. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp lynn _olson I hear you, airports and airlines can be overcrowded, and who knows what is floating around. Sorry to hear you need the rolling assist to get around in airport, those walks can be brutal in some airports. Is Amtrak really no more…? |
