| Need efficient floor-stander for 2a3 Tekton Lores. | |
| What would be the best int. amp for Totem Model 1? The krell would be fine powerwise but it is not a particularly warm sounding amp and might be a bit too bright with the model 1. In my experience, the brands that Rumadian suggests would be better matches. | |
| What would be the best int. amp for Totem Model 1? Rogue Cronus magnum. | |
| Totems I would second the Arro recommendation, perhaps supplemented by a smaller sub such as the Hsu vtf-1 or REL T-3. The Arros takes up very little floor space and are hard to beat at their used price of ~$600-700. Best of luck! | |
| Totems What type of amplification will you be using? | |
| external drive for mac mini I use this LaCie drive with my Mac. Around $100 and no issues. http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?id=10340 | |
| Audible Illusions M3A preamp--best matching amp Second the Odyssey Stratos suggestion. They were a great match in my system when I used the pair with Totem Forests. | |

| Good tube preamp for McCormack DNA 500??? I've owned the Shrimp with a DNA 125 and can attest that it was a very good match. The build quality of the Shrimp as with all Manley gear is excellent. | |
| Most soulful female vocalist Lady Gaga! After a long day at the widget factory, there's nothing like coming home, popping the tab on a Four Loko and letting the complex emotional nuances of her voice wash my cares away. | |
| Looking for Bjork Music. As far as I know, the song was never released on CD and is only available as a bootleg download. It was originally recorded for a Bond tribute CD, but then Bjork retracted it. | |
| Spending on dac vs amp From a purely economic standpoint, a dac will likely depreciate in value faster than an amplifier due to the rapid advancements in digital technology. Something to consider if you plan on upgrading/reselling down the road. I wouldn't pour money in... | |
| Help a new guy get started In the spirit of generating more possibilities to consider, a few speakers I've heard and liked in the $400-700 range used are:1. Von Schweikert VR-1 (monitor with neutral, balanced character. Full sound and surprisingly good bass)2. JM Reynaud Tw... |
