| Cairn 4808A or North Face?? Does the manual state anything about 'class A' operation? I know their manuals are a little weak.I would email them direct, to know for sure. They are very responsive and I've emailed with Gilles Belot back and forth many times. Great guy, great p... | |
| Simaudio Nova or Equinox? I like musical. ;) Thanks! | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Taiquach - what amp have you been using to drive your Forests? | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Yeah, I heard the Simaudio Amber integrated driving Winds years back at my dealer and the combo was impressive. Never heard it on the Forests but I would love to hear it or get my hands on that amp. I've only seen one come up for sale here on the ... | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Beheme, that is a very interesting product, I never heard of ti before - must have skipped over the stereophile review back in January?My combined HT is strickly 2-channel now, and I don't forsee adding anything else. Going back to 5.1 just doesn'... | |
| What CDP to replace my AA Prima ? The Cairn Fog has excellent PRaT and is very musical IMO. It bested the Naim in terms of PRaT for me, but was much more emotionally involving at the same time. | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? OK, so the winner (for me) is the Simaudio i-5 with the Forests. Both sound great and the Prima is a little sweeter in the midrange and adds a nice juiciness to the female vocals that's hard to give up, but overall the Sim just offers a little mor... | |
| Speaker Cables Arros/Marantz SR8400 I had Totem Tress paired with my Totem Arros and actually preferred Signal Cable in place of them. They were warmer and a little fuller in the bass. They did give up a little in terms of transparency and detail (very little) but I found them easie... | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Walkman, no problems here. I don't listen at insane levels, but I have had it pretty loud with no negative side effects that I can hear. | |
| Simaudio: Stellar or Equinox??? Thanks for the response Glenn, I didn't realize you now have a Sim CDP? Music is definitely my priority. HT sound and even picture is important but still a distant second. Have you heard the Steller? I would love to have one box for everything for... | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? Grakesh, I really wouldn't have thought that the Sim could seriously having me considering replacing the PrimaLuna. I thought of it more as an experiment in curiousity as I had always heard the Sim/Totem synergy to be great.As you know, the PrimaL... | |
| Moon I-3 and Totem Forest? I have just paired my Forests with a Simaudio i-5 and I must say that it is a quite pleasant pairing. I have never heard the i-3 with the Forest, but if you are still finding the high end to be 'noisy' after break-in I can tell you I am hearing no... | |
| Driving Totem Forrests with 40W Tubes??? I now have a Simaudio i-5 in house as well to pair with the Totems and I must say I am pretty impressed with this pairing!The Sim brings some added control while remaining 'warm' with an inviting presentation. There are also no signs of upper end ... | |
| Totem Hawks/Forests - Upstream Components I am surprised at how well my Forests sound powered by my PrimaLuna Prologue Two. They are premeiring monoblocks rated at 60/70W? at the CES show. I would recommend giving those a shot.Also, the Krell kav-400xi sounds great powering the Forests, b... | |
