| New Fuse Thread . . . I changed three of the stock fuses on my modest AMC 3050a solid state integrated amplifier to Hi Fi Tuning fuses. Performance during the "burn-in" period for the fuses was unstable and rather odd as described in the link at the bottom of this post... | |

| Any new ideas on an old theme? Timrhu,Curious to here how this works for you. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Good luck! | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff yes - tubes would be nice too. PrimaLuna ProLogue 2 or equivalent - could score for $1500 Canadian new if you are willing to take a risk on mail order from Upscale Audio. Still think you should give the Naim an Sim a shot. Staff would not be my fi... | |
| Center to match Totem Rainmakers? Agree with Muzikat. Did you listen to the Dreamcatcher center with the Rainmakers? | |
| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff This is a terrific list of amps to choose from - you don't need to look any further.I would look first at Naim Nait 5i and the Sim Moon i-1. Next I would look at the Creek Classic 5350 SE. I think the Arcam and Cambridge units in this price range ... | |

| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Did you try filling the chamber in the back with sand or kitty litter yet? | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi, You have a really decent system stem to stern now, and it is still really "new" for the most part. If you like the way it sounds, just wait. You are going to be listening to it some time in the future when everything has fully loosened up a... | |
| Is this the biggest HT system ever? Maril555,Interesting observation. Here is what the author of the article says about it: "all of the cabling is audiophile-grade wire". I however do not see any wires at all. Is the cabling so good it is invisible, including the RCA or XLR connecto... | |
| Cartridge/Phono-Pre Break-in? Another thing to check is the Vertical Tracking Angle (VTA). If it is too steep, i.e. the tonearm is tipped down towards the record, the sound can be profoundly tin-like. Too shallow, i.e. the front of the cartridge is tipped up, and the sound wit... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Hey - I would run the new ICs and speaker cables for a LONG TIME and then compare them to the Monster cables. I have both AudioQuest Diamondback ICs and Type 4 cables and found the ICs sounded great right away - and got better over time - so... | |
