| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp Fair enough. One might say Naim's lower end stuff relies on some timing tricks that make music sound "better" than it really does(?), perhaps almost a gimmick. But I like it. Whatever floats one's boat I guess... | |
| Xindak Fuse Question Tubemiser,I am using HiFi Tuning Fuses (3) in my in ss integrated amp to great positive effect. Your comments prompt two questions:1. So the Xindak silver fuses are a bit brighter or "tipped up" compared to the HiFi Tuning fuses, or less bright?No... | |
| Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help The Apollo is probably the best sub $1000 players around. But you just stuck it in a league with two more expensive players, and they sound better to me.Lots of people describe Naim gear as "forward". You could look at it that way, but in my exper... | |
| Next Upgrade to My Totem Arros Setup - Need Help Replace the CDP first.I listened to the Naim CD5i with the Arros using a Nait 5i integrated and it sounded good although the room was probably too big for the speakers. The Totem Forests sounded better with that pairing. I think that the CD5i coul... | |
| NAD vs Cambridge audio vs Music hall NAD is going to be more rounded and laid back sounding - perhaps the most neutral of the three. Cambridge is going to be more forward and "exciting" sounding, but 640 is a more capable amp than the NAD C320 (might want to look for an NAD C352 as I... | |
| Need Some Help Choosing an Integrated Amp Blue Circle, Naim SuperNait - are super choices in my opinion. Can't agree with hater above. Also have heard the Musical Fidelity A5 sound very very good with Totem and Revel speakers, but don't know they compare to yours. Might also consider Prim... | |

| Nakamichi cassette playback in non-Nak deck? My roommate in college had the Nak that was one below the Dragon - don't remember the model number - this would have been about 1980. It made the most amazing tapes I have ever heard (he had a very good preamp and turntable/cartridge combination t... | |

| Top 5 sounding cd player in the 1000-2000$ range I have owned the CA 640C v1 and now own the CA 640C v2. Several key improvements including better power supply and two DACs instead of one make the version 2 significantly better than the original in terms of smoothness, timing, resolution, low le... | |

| Totem vs. Vr-1 vs. Dynaudio Audience Tetazoo,If you like the Audiolab, you may want to try it with your speaker choice before looking elsewhere (if you have both amps on hand, perhaps can you take them into a local dealer or seller and give them a listen with these speakers before yo... | |
| Totem vs. Vr-1 vs. Dynaudio Audience I am not familiar with the Vr-1s so can't provide you any insight there.Qualifier: I love Totem speakers. The Totems image extremely well, with the Arros a bit better than the Rainmakers, although the later are terrific little sub-$1,000 (new) sta... | |
