Totem Owners....
There are many people that post on these threads that are devoted to the brand they choose and will make claims similar to those that Zieman did above. I agree that dealers should identify themselves when bragging about their product so as to diff... 
Totem Owners....
Thank God the thread police (AKA AudioFeil) has shown up on another thread to save all of us from the other evil dealers. Give it a break, because I for one am tired of seeing it on so many threads that I read here. The advice of each and every pe... 
2-way speaker with best bass
You did not mention any restrictions on speaker size so I am going to suggest the Emerald Physics CS-2's. They are a floor standing 2 way with an active digital crossover and require biamping. They are rated to 20 hz on the bottom end and the bass... 
Aragon to Classe.....
I would not be in such a hurry to get rid of the Aragon amp.My original purchase of any high end equipment was an Aragon 2004 MK II that I purchased new in 1991. I liked it enough that I kept it until a couple of years ago when I needed more power... 
Legacy Silver Screen issues
Where do you have the Silver screen placed?. I had one with at one time with a pair of the original Focus. I tried it in several different locations. It sounded horrible on top of the big screen TV. I finally settled for a stand in front of the TV... 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
07-10-08: Kana813What difference should it make if speakers are made in the united states, the only things that matter are sound/build quality.PS- I get a kick out of USA direct sale companies like Salk saying of their HT3s, that: "Normally, speak... 
Best U.S.A. speakers?
I heard the Ridge Street Audio Sason's at the Audiokharma show in Detroit and then later at a private listening session in an owner's home. Absolutely incredible sounding speakers, the most natural sounding I've ever heard. All of the audiophile b... 
Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
I don't know what your budget is but a used pair of Legacy Whispers would fit the bill nicely. They have a compound dipole bass alignment provided by four 15" woofers per side. They have a dispersion of <90 degrees at all frequencies which woul... 
Mobile Fidelity OML-1 - Any thoughts/opinions?
In regards to the discussion about the sales pitch above, I did not notice one either. I would rather have someone responding to ads that has experience with components at or near that price range no matter what their affiliation to any brand. It ... 
Walkers SST silver treatment
Wow, thank God you are ok. Still, it must leave you as busy as a one handed cable manufacturer! Hopefully rehab is going well. I hope everyone has learned their lesson here. (Nice story Robert) 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
Hi John, I tried the Z-der block at multiple points in my system. It made a difference no matter where I put it. I only have one so when I used it for my amps, I actually put it on the inlet to my conditioner for the amps (PS Audio UPC-200). In my... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
I promised a follow up once I got the Poiema!!! Signature power cord and it came in over the weekend. I used it to replace a PS Audio Extreme Statement and the difference is not subtle. I hate trying to describe this type of thing in audiophile te... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
John, I knew that his name is Robert, I guess I should have proof read better (his last name does not have an e in it either). I have taken up quite a bit of his time, with which he is extremely generous. I had just got off the phone with my sist... 
RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S?
When you have so many good things to say about a product, it becomes difficult to decide where to begin. I first purchased a used pair of Poiema!! xlr interconnects because of the good things I'd heard about RSA products. I enjoyed them so much th... 
Aragon 4004mkII OR Adcom GFA 555 II
I have owned the GFA 555II and the 2004mkII. I think the Aragon is the superior amp across the board. However, it does not necessarily mean it will be a good match with your speakers. I have not heard the Theil speakers, but from what I understand...
