| Sub $2,000 Integrated Amp Recommendations Full disclosure, I am selling this unit over on USAM but the Simaudio Moon ACE is worth considering. Integrated 50 wpc with DAC and Streamer (including Apple Airplay) and MIND 2 Sim app. It worked great but I wanted to switch out to Sim separate... | |
| which power amp or integrated for Totem Element Fire v2's? Curious as to what you found lacking in the Simaudio 400M/Totem combo? Running 390pre/330A into Totem Forest and it works well. | |
| Totem Forrest - old but still good Had them in system for roughly 15 years and, yes, they are still good. Recently added a Simaudio Ace, which mates very well with them (Canadian synergy?). I was concerned about Sim's 50 wpc but that has not been an issue at all. Small footprint... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Update: Lots of changes last few weeks, retaining only speakers. Prior System: Totem Forest Speakers (non-Signature), Krell 400xi integrated, Benchmark DAC 1 USB, Transparent cabling, APC surge protector and TV optical/PC usb. Updated System: T... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Going with the AZ Satoris and the DH labs jumpers as Soix recommends. Looking forward to their arrival in a week or so. Will post update Also, looking a picking up an AZ Tsunami power cord. Thank you all for your guidance! | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest Totally fair point. Some of this is early onset upgraditis disease! More to the point, detail while maintaining coherence/overall musicality the target. Admittedly, this is rather vague but not sure how else to explain. Thanks again! | |
| Simaudio ACE or 240i Purchase an Ace a few weeks back to replace an older Krell integrated into Totem Forests (87db 8 ohm, 50-200 watts) that are reputed to be power hungry. Ace has no issues driving them. NYC apt so not playing ear bleed levels but they can easily ... | |
| Cabling Recommends Simaudio Ace/Totem Forest All - Appreciate the input. A few comments. Interesting on Tress, have heard of it before but seems hard to find so good to have Chord alternatives. Definitely need to add "real wire" jumpers and Chord looks like the right way to go. Currently... | |
| Naim SuperNait 3 vs Simaudio Ace (Hegel?) Thanks for the responses. Leaning toward Naim. A little concerned about the speaker cabling. Using Transparent. | |
| Urgent - Totem speakers for Krell I am using the 400xi with the Forests and it is a good combination. Did not hear it with the Hawks. Marakanetz - The 400xi gets fairly warm but certainly does not have high heat issues. | |
| Which Totem Speakers I have the Forests in a slightly larger room. The distance apart and from the back wall is similar to yours, however, I am sitting about 15 feet away which is too far back and takes away from the imaging. Sitting 9 feet away in your case (and when... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? Another great 80's band, Heaven 17. Also, give Depeche Mode Songs of Faith & Devotion another listen. Hated it when it first came out but now, while clearly a different direction, I think it is amazing.Levy: Wow, actually seeing Joy Division l... | |
| any early 80's alt/soft punk fans out there? If could only have one CD (ok double cd) on desert island, it would be New Order Substance. It has all the classics. Whenever I listen to Blue Monday, it sounds completely fresh. I concur that their newer material was not up to the earlier but sti... | |
| Freaky speaker experience: So cool that your wife is going to conduct this experiment with you. I would get the "oh, my husband's an idiot sigh". Any results yet? I have Forests and have not bi-wired. | |
| Pre-Power or Int Amp for Totem Wind I just auditioned the Winds using Audio Research tube pre and amp. Can't recall the model numbers but they were one below the Reference gear. The sound was excellent. |
