| Cables for Totem Model 1 Sigs. Why not try Totem's own biwire cables? I've been using mine with various Totem speakers for the past 3+ years and haven't found anything to replace them. I've demoed a number of cables that are a multiple more expensive but they seem to lack the p... | |
| What cartridge are you using with VPI JMW9 Count my vote for the Dynavector 20XH - absolutely excellent. I've been meaning to try a Shelter 501mk2 for an upgrade now that I have a MM/MC switchable phono pre. | |
| ARC Pre + which SS amp? My LS25mk2 is very happy paired with Bel Canto ref1000's. IMO a better combination than the LS25mk2 and the VS110. | |
| Most Quiet TUBE Preamp. Linestage. $ 12K or less My ARC LS25mk2 is dead quiet. | |
| Upgrade old LP12 or buy a new table?? As a former LP12 owner, I'll disagree with the above. The LP12 design stood the test of time until the late 90's but has been surpassed by many new models since then. The VPI Scout series being just three of them. Linn has never been known for "va... | |
| Anyone listen to the Bel Canto e.One S300i amp??? I'm using ref1000 monos with Totem Mani-2's (a very picky speaker) and it's wonderful. There's no brightness or harshness at all. The s300 is just its little brother power-wise so I'd bet that you'd be just as happy with that as I am with mine.I s... | |
| "Reference" Preamps I've been meaning to call Guy Hammel to follow up on my e-mail. I can understand why he'd want to spend his time with people who care enough to call :)On the other side, I've had some ABYSMAL experiences lately with dealers for some of the other p... | |
| "Reference" Preamps Some excellent additional models there.I've sent an e-mail to Placette but haven't heard anything back yet.Cardas also suggests that 3-4m of single-ended Golden Reference is not a problem and that I shouldn't use the XLR outputs as a selection cri... | |
| "Reference" Preamps Vic, I completely agree with your statement that my subjective taste will weigh heavily in the final decision. What I'm trying to do here is to narrow my list down a little so I make sure I'm evaluating the best contenders. This is both to expand ... | |
| "Reference" Preamps Thanks again, everyone. Some very interesting options here, and I'm also questioning my bias towards XLR outs too. | |
| "Reference" Preamps Thanks very much for the responses. As I typed the list out I knew I was forgetting something, and the VTL 6.5/7.5 is definitely an option I'm interested in too. I've heard Aesthetix mentioned in high regard, and will investigate further (as with ... | |
| forests single wired? You should read Totem's FAQ for their perceptions/opinion:http://www.totemacoustic.com/english/faq/faq.htmI would wholeheartedly recommend biwiring with Totem speakers. | |
| VPI Scout upgrade path? So what was the result? Is rickcomer still around? | |
| Tri-amping speakers - Which amps For all the bother, you're probably better off looking at a pair of ATC active 50's or 100's. They're triamped internally and you'll avoid all the hassle of cabling, shelf space, etc. I'll bet that the results will be very similar for less money too. | |
| totem model 1 owners This is what Totem recommends for placing all their speakers, and it's worked very well for me:positioning is very dependent and experimentation is the keywe recommend a systematic procedure where (with the same song track) you place the loudspeak... |
