| Should Rotel be ok to drive Totem Forrest? Hello again. Plinius and Musical Fidelity do make good pre-amps but with Totems I think the Plinius would win. Even though you are not into tubes, you will have a ton of Audiogoners backing me up when I say that in the world of pre-amps, tubes com... | |
| Should Rotel be ok to drive Totem Forrest? I agree with you. Find a used VTL, Musical Design, or if you want a sleeper brand that is awesome, I have an Encore 2010 for sale in Audiogon that is almost as good as a CAT Signature. I am not self promoting and to prove so there are 2 on Audiogo... | |
| New System for the House The Blue Circle stuff looks better in person but is still man jewlery. When the lights are off it looks cool. | |
| Cable for vintage Rotel tuner Transparent is copper but will not have sparkle or crispness. They are a little laid back in the highs. They don't cover anything up but present a concert like you are in the audience and not the director on stage.The Nobius and FMS will do everyt... | |
| Carbon and silver conductors Now I understand. Sorry. Back to the question? I know first hand that silver makes a great power cable and IMO it works better for that than it does for audio cables. (except when everything is silver including the voice coils) | |
| Stillpoint Component Stand I havn't but the have inverted risers for carpet that Intuative design, (a speaker manufacturer that uses Still Points) says works well. If you call them they are rather helpfull. | |
| Cable for vintage Rotel tuner I agree with Steve unless you are in Europe or have a Day Sequera Tuner. The Transparent cable that is the biggest jump in quality is the Ultra Link which is in the middle of the line. Nobius starts at $800 for a meter pair.In Europe you can hear ... | |
| Need Advice on a DAC for my Music Server? It is my understanding that lossless is still compressed using a larger algorithms and taking advantage of newer more powerful PC's. It is also compressing less by only eliminating subtle reflected sound of low signals during passages when there i... | |
| Carbon and silver conductors npepinnovations, maybe I typed it wtong. I know that power going through cables creates a magnetic field, I was trying to say that carbon used for electricity tends to creat less of a feild. This is why you use carbon spark plug wires if you have ... | |
| EAD ultradisc2000/dsp7000 VS Northstar M192 Hello, Just the EAD and it's bright, thin, and stealy. | |
| Denon 2900 versus Rotel RDV 1050 Help The Rotel sucks and I am a Rotel dealer. Besides the Denon look at the Sony 3100 ES and the Elite 45i. (Elite is so so on sound quality but the video and reliability can't be beat.) | |
| What is Oversampling and why/why not its good? Best thing would be to call me at 563-528-0884 as your answer is long.First off, over sampling is only part of what makes a difference and is not the most important part but to answer your question...Oversampling is the CD players way of comparing... | |
| New System for the House Rainmakers are not bad but a little boxy sounding. Go up to the Rokk's or Staff's.Good amp would be an Arcam or Rotel as a second choise.If you do a sub, find a REL or a 10" Energy as a second choice.I have an awsome sub for sale used which is a K... | |
| What is the ideal listening room size? It pays to hire a profesional but the basics are to do a room with a WxHxD ratio of 1 to 1.77 to 1.93.Helps to have curves instead of corners and to have the ceiling that has a slite pitch. Start at 9 ft. and go up to at least 9.5 at the back of t... | |
| Stillpoint Component Stand They work very well and are worth the money. A cheap version that is not as good would be the Star Points formerly known as Audio Points.The only thing I have heard better than the Still Points is the Viberplain but those are over 10K each. :-( |
