| Plinius 9200 or separates? I agree that the Plinius is a very good amp but it feels like something is missing. When I replaced my Acoustic Zen Hologram speaker cable with Totem Sinew bi-wire it improved things significantly, but not enough. I play a lot of LP's and my Rega ... | |
| Power amp for ARC SP-6 I hadn't heard of Threshold before, looks pretty interesting..... | |
| Power amp for ARC SP-6 I have Totem Forest speakers, Rega P3 turntable, at the moment a Plinius 9200 integrated, and Exposure CD. I listen to all types of music (I'm a jazz and beyond guitarist). I find that orchestral music is the hardest to deal with in terms of clari... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Well I'm thinking just as the power amp with the SP-6......at least that was what a few folks recommended......... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest I'll keep my eyes open......how about a SS amp- Krell or Naim?? | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest I'm gonna do that..get the SP-6 serviced and look for an amp..a friend of mine is selling a VTL ST125, I'll try that first.... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Hey Dave.....I'm using the Plinius 9200 although I'm contemplating switching to tube gear..I have an old ARC SP-6 that sounds pretty nice with the Forests......need a power amp too though...(I have another thread re: this question)...Also Exposure... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Hi Dave....well the Krell is a new suggestion to me......I'll have to check it out......I'm looking for some interconnects for my present system, thinking of trying the Harmonic Technology Silway MkIII....... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Yes it is....although I still had to drive from NYC to Montreal.....actually it was a great trip, never been there before...... | |
| Is Audio Research SP-6 considered a good model? Well Jaybo thanks for the advice...I am listening pretty hard...I didn't find big orchestral music to be very well handled on either the Plinius or the ARC......I thought maybe in the case of the SP-6 that I didn't have enough power to fully explo... | |
| Is Audio Research SP-6 considered a good model? ARC estimated $700-800 for the work. I know there were other models with letters e.g. SP-6A... don't know if there were different versions of the SP-6. I'm also wondering what power amp would pair well with the SP-6...... | |
| Plinius 9200 or separates? Yes I think your description is accurate. Instruments seemed more present and delineated with the AR's, more sense of depth. The Plinius is powerful and smooth but lacks those other characteristics. I'm wondering about keeping the SP-6 or also loo... | |
| Appearance of Totem Forest Thanks for the responses. What ended up happening is that my wife and I drove up to Montreal and met Vince at Totem. He took us into the warehouse and showed us what he considered the best cabinets they had at the time. They looked great, we got t... | |
| Anybody familiar with the Tandberg TD 310 Cassette Now I'm looking at a Harman Kardon CD491- anyone know about it? | |
| Anybody familiar with the Tandberg TD 310 Cassette Well I think I'll probably hold off on this Tandberg and keep looking. Thanks again for the comments. |
