| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? What are your priorities, detail and nuance in sound reproduction, or power surge protection? The cables can't fix problems with AC upstream. My opinion, if cost is a factor and the power in your home or at least to your circuit feeding your stere... | |
| I seek your guidance - re turntable 2nd vote for VPI Scout. Maybe a used Rega P5. | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Eddaytona,Yes, he is at least the favorite uncle if not the outright father of modern rock guitar. Maybe somebody will make a movie someday about the relationship between a famous English talk show host and an American cultural icon. They can call... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Dmg,My twenty five cents.I still think you can derive benefits from a stand alone budget power cable for your amp. If you want to and are able to spend the money on the gear your friend recommended, then that would likely provide greater benefits.... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Mxwizard,Wow - what a great buy - much better piece than the amps you were considering when you first posted. I am sure this will be a fantastic match for the Sttaf speakers. Enjoy!PS - now you can start looking at new sources to feed your new amp... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Funny someone should mention audiophiles at all in this thread, because John Mayer's studio albums are not the best produced by a long shot. The sound is often over saturated and a bit fuzzy - take the sonic peaks on Axis Bold as Love on the "Cont... | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? I first saw John Mayer being interviewed on some TV special about music, or another musician, or something a while ago and I thought he was funny and sounded surprisingly thoughtful. Then I saw him on the Dave Chappelle Show, and the two of them c... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Dmg,Nice player. How do SACDs sound on your system?I have some suggestions to dabble your toes in the power cord pool without shocking your wallet. I was agonizing a bit recently over the purchase of a "budget" cord for my CD player and ended up p... | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff Dmg,I have heard good things about the 840A v2, and my earlier comments in the thread about this amp not quite being up to the level of similarly priced Naim and Sim products was based on experience with the first version. Cambridge has been incre... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio Drewh1,I have found that quality power cables have made the largest difference in the sound of my system of any cable type added to date. Perhaps this is because I had already upgraded ICs and speaker cables, and the last cables added benefited fr... | |
| New Pre or Integrated for 2nd system, thoughts? I would go with a new/used preamp, with one exception.NAD C 162 preamp - new, refurbished or used, $400 to $500 online. Typical NAD sound - musical and nicely rounded. good review here:http://www.audioasylum.com/reviews/Preamplifier-SS/NAD/C-162/g... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio I would just add to this that the type of power cable used on the amplifier can affect the synergy between speaker/speaker cable/amplifier as well - just to muddy the waters a little further. | |
| Are there any integrated amps with a built in DAC? Peachtree Decco. | |
| good sounding low price speaker w/ front bass port I forgot one worth looking at:Focal JM Lab Chorus 705V Monitor Loudspeaker - $495 new, very efficient. | |
| good sounding low price speaker w/ front bass port Bianchi27,Don't misconstrue my lack of recommendation as a vote against the Triangles Titus. I have simply not heard them yet and can't offer an opinion one way or the other. They are well reviewed here and by the audio press, so I would suggest y... |
