J River Vs. Media Monkey Do they sound different
I have just downloaded the free Jukebox 14 version and although it sounds very good it no longer supports ASIO or WASAPI output. I am using it with Directsound. After reading their forum, it turns out that "audiophile features" are now only availa... 
Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?
Thanks Chashas1, I was thinking the same thing and just needed a reality check. Much appreciated. 
Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature?
I am going to revive this thread once again because the contributors are so gracious and knowledgeable. I have been enjoying my Arros (actually my 2 set) and Dreamcatcher combo for approximately 10 years. The best qualities I find are the 3D sound... 
Great Blu-ray or DVD player for CD Transport
How about the Nad T585 or M55 which plays redbook very well on their own but are also built solidly if used as a transport? 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
I listen to all types of music including smooth jazz. Music is the reason why I am in this hobby. I am disappointed by some of the negative responses to this post. If you have nothing positive to add then refrain from posting. Just because you thi... 
Sub $1k Power Amp to pair with Bryston B-60
I have been running my B60 with a 2B-lp in a biamp configuration with great results. The combo synergizes very well and because they are both Brystons the gains are identical. I believe you can get a used 2B-lp for ~$500. Good luck! 
Totem Forest and Budget Amplifiers
Anthem 225 integrated. Probably the biggest bang for the buck! 
Help with Totems
The Arros partnered with the Dreamcatcher sub is a very resolving and satisfying system. They blend in seamlessly and provides very good bass reach and definition. I have had this combo for almost 10 years and I listen to all genres of music inclu... 
Which Totem Speakers
For your room specifications, I would definitely have a listen to the Arros and if you can afford it, pair them up with the Dreamcatcher sub. This combination is awesome. They blend in seamlessly while providing almost full range sound. 
CD Player advice request...
I would also add the Simaudio Moon CD-1 to your list. Very natural presentation with very good detail and tonal textures. I have not heard the BCD-1 which I was originally hoping to get but came across my CD-1 at very good price. Some who have com... 
totem arro drivers
I have replaced my mid/bass woofer twice. The problem with replacing them with other woofers is that Totem actually have them made to their specifications. For the record, these units are not MB Quarts but Peerless drivers. Trust me, I thought I w... 
Describe your Totem Arro System
Headshrinker,The room the system is in is approximately 10'x20' but the system is located at one end of the room (it is a "great room" with living room/dining area/kitchen all in one space).I listen mostly to jazz, new age/world, rock and pop. I l... 
Describe your Totem Arro System
Hi Headshrinker2, I have had the pleasure of owning the Arros for almost 10 years. Throughout these 10 years my accompanying electronics have remained somewhat the same as well with the exception of the source components. My current system consist...

Sorry for my late response but I have been an owner of these great mini towers since 1999. I am on my 2nd pair due to the one of the first pair being slightly blemished by a fall. Strengths:Holographic palpable imaging & soundstagingRealistic ... 
CD's in DVD players a compromise?
I don't know the context nor the model Oppo some of the posters were referring to but my OPPO DV-980H replaced a tweaked out Sonic Frontiers SFCD-1 tubed cd player and continues to please. The system it is in was put together for 2 channel only co...
