| Naim Nait 5i vs 5i italic Superhonestben,Thanks for the reply. I have not yet visited the dealer's shop. My only interactions have been by phone. Obviously, this is not the dealer I usually work with (and have known for many years). | |
| Does anybody smell smoke? Greetings everyone,Just a bit of follow-up for those who might be interested. Thanks again for all your suggestions. (1) 2 boxes of a baking soda in a sealed bag: did not make any difference.(2) Isopropyl alcohol: maybe cut down the strength of th... | |
| Naim Nait 5i vs 5i italic Can anyone who has heard these two amps comment on their sonic differences? Thanks. | |
| Naim Nait 5i vs 5i italic Dwhitt,Good guess.. while I love all kinds of music, when it is time to settle in listen I gravitate towards classical, jazz, and vocal. I do try and support my local dealer, but probably like most of us, can't justify paying MSRP all the time. My... | |
| Naim Nait 5i vs 5i italic Dwhitt,As you might know, I am also a happy Totem Arro owner. Unfortunately, my local Naim dealer does not have the 5i in stock so I cannot demo on my own speakers. He is only willing to order the amp if I purchase first. I know this is a sign of ... | |
| Need budget HT Receiver with extreme convenience Onkyo SR606 is an easy recommendation at this price point. Look for sales as they are often discounted. I went with the SR706 as I wanted preamp outs. It is well-designed and easy to operate. | |

| To terminate.. or not Jea48:When choosing between spades or bananas, is one connection type thought to be better than the other? | |
| Describe your Totem Arro System Hey Dwhitt,Thanks so much for the thoughtful and detailed reply. Very helpful.All those amps you listed, did you own all of those at one time.. or just audition them? On the Audioquest cable, when you said p4- are these the "Type 4" or something d... | |
| Totem Monitors for 200W Amp Agiaccio,As already suggested to you, there is no substitute to going to a Totem dealer and listening with your own ears. I recently bought some new speakers and did extensive auditioning. I found that each of the speakers in the Totem line had a ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 vs. Totem Arro While I am not familiar w/ the VR2's, I just purchased a pair of Totem Arro's. After listening to many, many speakers- including several other Totem lines- my ears returned to the Arros. There is something very special and musical about these litt... | |
| Need basic iPod help... Ckorody,Thanks for the suggestion to buy used CD's on Amazon. Certainly makes a lot of sense. I will explore this option. Is Amazon one of the better places to look for used music? iTunes is like buying a candy bar in the check-out aisle of the gr... | |
| Need basic iPod help... Sfar,That's what I thought. Maybe I will use iTunes for the kid's music and only rip CD's for the stuff I really care about. | |
| Need basic iPod help... Thanks for the replies. What about downloading from iTunes? Is this basically a bad idea (i.e. vs ripping from a CD in a lossless format)? | |
| Need basic iPod help... Metralla,Thanks for the tip . I visited Ken's website. Some beautiful stuff there!Take care. |
