| A question of bass... Several actually. Absolutely agree with Tvad. The ProLogue one is a great little amp, but much better suited to the Rega'sIn a recent thread I suggested the following amps to power a Totem speaker the poster was having a difficult time driving with a 100 watt SS in... | |
| A question of bass... Several actually. Rhanechak - what amp did you have driving the Dynaudios? My experience is that the A 72's can go very low and loud when driven with sufficient power (300W or more into 4 ohms). The Regas on the other hand are more efficient and can run on less jui... | |
| New Rega R1 - Recommend an Amp? Agree with Lenny on the CD players.Because the R1's are very efficient and you are using them in a smaller room (I assume), you can get away with less power.Here are some amp ideas:-Marantz PM5003 - built in phono-Onkyo A955 - built in phono - get... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Bobrock initiated this threat by saying his 100W per channel SS amp was having trouble "driving" his Totem Hawks. Rumadian suggested among others the BAT VK300x and the Blue Circle FtTH integrateds. Mallardducks says they agree with Rumadian and t... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help Abramsmatch, You thought the A5 was boring with Totem speakers? Funny, that's the same way I felt about listening to the Bel Canto S300i driving the Usher Be-718 - Ho Hum, didn't ring my "Bel" so to speak. Which is also funny because that's the sa... | |

| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Thanks Al, good stuff. I had read somewhere that the early Mark Levinson JC-1 preamplifier (John Curl one?) was one of the first pieces to be acknowledged as challenging tubes for use in "high end" systems. One of the reasons Parasound raised eyeb... | |
| When did the Hi-Fi sound mature? Al,Thanks for the summary, especially interested in your answer to no. 4.My first experience with HiFi was my dad's HH Scott tube receiver and his tank-like Garrard turntable around 1962. He had mounted large full range speakers in the rafters of ... | |

| Plinius 9100 vs 9200 Agree with the power cord comment, but my guess is that you are already using a good cord. If you haven't tried a different/better cord - say a good Shunyata helix or equivalent - you might go there first to see what that does to smooth out the hi... | |
