| Pink Floyd Aficionados Where in the track is it? I’m listening on headphones and can’t seem to find it. | |
| Favorite Eagle I like them as well! | |
| Favorite Eagle @jeffrey125 i anticipated that response. Also valid. | |
| Favorite Eagle By the way “The Eagles suck” is a perfectly valid response if you don’t care for any of them. | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @mapman Fair enough. I misunderstood your post! Reading for comprehension escapes me sometimes. | |
| Warm vs Revealing—the struggle for balance @mapman Where would Monet have ended up if resolution and detail were his goal rather than abstract impressions? Early Manet. And if you prefer Realism, or something other than Impressionism, Monet wouldn’t be your guy. This isn’t really a ... | |
| Integrated Question I’ve never owned or heard any Totem speakers but some internet sleuthing seems to show that, according to the manufacturer, the speakers have a minimum impedance of 6 ohms. That doesn’t seem to be a hard speaker to drive. The trouble shooting g... | |

| dac and streamer or seperates It looks like you have a pretty good dac, at least based on the chip that’s used. I realize implementation matters, too. I think separates is the way to go. Many more options for pairings. I have an integrated with onboard dac which is pretty ... | |
| Why on earth? I usually listen using headphones and, often, I can hear differences in components. I would never use a YouTube video as the basis for a purchase but, I enjoy watching/listening sometimes. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please I forgot to mention I realize you are using a tube amp but your 75w is plenty of juice. | |
| Speaker and Cable Suggestions Please +1 for calling Fritz. I have the Rev7 SE and I can’t say enough good things about them. My room is a bit smaller than yours and the Fritzs sound amazing to my ears. All his speakers have a smooth impedance curve, no wild swings or deep dips. Mi... |
