| totem arro's or B&W 604 s2's i thought the B+W's (floor standers; can't remember which, maybe the 604s) were bright. totally wrong for my ears. and that was on equipment the dealer thought matched them well. then i listened to the Hawks and was sold. i'm still working on fine... | |
| DAC instead of Pre-amp There is the Peachtree Nova with multiple digital and analog inputs. But it also has an amp built in. Would be nice if there were more pre-amp/dac combo options out there: a single place to manage your sources. | |
| Totem Forest Speakers..... My Hawks' sound lack imaging and presence when they're just a foot from the wall. When there are no kids around to knock them over, I bring them out over 2 feet from the wall and it makes a HUGE difference. Accurate bass turns into real bass. The ... | |
| Tube Preamp w / phono needed to match SS Amp I'm happy with the TAD-150 for the money. Wish the noise floor was a bit lower in the phono section, but that may be my turntable. | |
| 6 ohm speakers for peachtree nova i read that at that the CES demo the Nova was just acting as a DAC/pre and that another amp was driving the Era speakers. | |
| Peachtree Nova in da' House This integrated looks quite an intriguing side street in my research for a DAC upgrade. It'd be driving a pair of Totem Hawks. I wonder if Peachtree is considering a pre-amp/dac version without the amp. Does anyone know if other companies have DAC... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help I've been driving my Hawks with the Musical Fidelity A3.2cr amp and have been very happy with it. It's not the 5.5 integrated, but it's good a good amount of power. I wanted a hybrid system, so I have a TAD-150 tube pre-amp leading to the MF. Feel... | |
| Totem Owners.... You can fill the Hawks. It's suggested when there's too much bass, which I can't imagine happening. That's Totem stock suggestion, at least. | |
| Totem Owners.... I just made an upgrade from some warm finicky KEFs to the Totem Hawks. I auditioned a new pair and was very impressed. Very simple and transparent. I did feel like there was a lack of bass extension when I got the pair I bought hooked up. I actual... | |
| Upgrading the wires of my turntable Thanks. I'll take a look at the AT150. Sounds reasonable.So if I rewire the ICs with one of these cables that I already have sitting around here, which would be recommended? | |
| Upgrading the wires of my turntable I'm sure I could spend a bunch of money upgrading the cartridge. My budget for audio when I bought the turntable last year was much smaller. Some discussions at audiokarma led me to the Shure. I think I paid a buck and a quarter and thought that w... | |
| Do I need a power cable - if so what brand? Tube Audio Design also has a sub $30 cable. Fish something... Jellyfish. | |
| Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp I'm looking to rewire my turntable, too. Since I'll have to solder the IC's, I'd like to pick the right cables the first time. Are the posts above giving opinions specifically for phono cables? | |
| Apple TV I know there's a lot of people upgrading the hard drives and modding the software. But I wonder if anyone's able to mod the TOSLINK into a Coax. I've got about 300GB of Lossless (so far). Be nice to have a TB of storage and a decently clocked Coax... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE or 1C for small room? Thanks, unsound. You think the 2's could work with some room treatments? I only just upgraded to the Musical Fidelity A3.2cr amp, so I can't really justify upgrading again for the time being. I think they're rated around 130 watts per channel (at ... |
