| Possibly controversial: Totem arro overrated? David, what I have learned with my current speakers is that the performance of the speakers is highly contingent/dependent on:1. the electronics connected to them 2. the sources in the system3. the quality of power feeding the system connected to ... | |
| Importance of line stage pre--Who Knew? Johhnyb53 I know just what you mean. Good for you. I just put a Joule Electra LA100 mkII preamp in my system a few days ago. It's not my first quality tube preamp; I once had the top of the line Cary preamp in a different system. The JE preamp has... | |
| If Preamp Gain is Set to High-What Consequences? Thank you Al, as always. | |
| If Preamp Gain is Set to High-What Consequences? Thanks for the information Newbee, but I'm not confusing anything. The gain of the Joule can be set internally from lower to higher by changing the position of jumpers on a circuit board. The Joule technician set "gain select" at the highest setti... | |
| If Preamp Gain is Set to High-What Consequences? If I was not clear in my original post, the internal gain setting was set by a Joule technician to its highest setting (measured at 15db). The gain control on the front (the volume control) is what I can turn up 25-30% on 2 of my sources and up to... | |

| Do the laser cleaning CDs do anything? I'm interested in your responses as well. | |
| new system/older equipment I have a Macbook Pro with some of my cd's burned onto it with Itunes too. I can't make any suggestions, but I'll be interested in your responses. | |
| Revel F12's ---- A very happy upgrade for me. I have a Revel dealer nearby. Someday I may have a listen. | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? QC (quality control) should extend not only to the products a company sells but also to the customer service provided. With the email that Brownsfan received, maybe it means that going forward, Cary will maintain "consistency" in their customer se... | |
| Vendors Who Post It's fine for vendors to post, and they're pretty decent fellows for the most part. They have their reasons for posting, and are often beneficial to the forums. There's one vendor here who is a world-class ass**** on practically every word he writ... | |
| Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS The majority of audio enthusiasts and philes are older rather than younger, so I feel for anyone who is of ill health; It happens more and more in our demographic. Hope HP does fine and finds enjoyment in retirment. At 57 I unfortunately have a lo... |
