| Integrated amp for Totem Sttaff I still suggest that the Naim entry level integrated is the one I would look at first - at least for solid state amp to go with the Sttaff's. The new entry level Moon is good too, perhaps more neutral but less of a toe tapper than the Naim. Tubes?... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57 says:"Knownothing, since you do hear the difference, it would be interesting to see if you could hear the same level of improvement with the $12 Acme. No DBT, just listening."I dunno, didn't try them? Cheap is good, especially if its reall... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I have to agree with Dave_b, the sonic benefits of these fuses change and improve over time. But I had what seems to be a unique experience after replacing blown stock fuses in my integrated amp with the HiFi Tuning fuses. The sound characteristic... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Just found this on another thread. At least one amplifier designer thinks HiFi Tuning fuses provide value added:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1206983240&openflup&14&4#14 | |

| 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... | |

| 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 ... | |
