| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? YEs, the right amp for many Totems is very powerful ones that deliver lots of current. Class D is a great choice to avoid size and bulk and possibly expense.I've heard Arros perform superbly well away from walls however bass levels will be more pr... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Good imaging and soundstage helps with 3 of 4 dimensions. The 4th is time. Coherence is the aspect of sound that matters there. Good imaging + soundstage + coherence sets the table for all teh rest to really excel and reach maximum potential.. | |
| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan "The later Dylan specifically Modern Times is so much better than most of the early stuff."I agree its really good and I've been enjoying it more than the older stuff in recent years, but hard to compare as apples/apples. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... " And while sound is paramount it's a company's support that keeps me coming back. "Customer support is the biggest differentiator between companies IMHO in that there are many that offer really good sound but not all offer equally effective custo... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Good imaging helps with musicality IMHO in that music is a 3 (actually 4 including time) dimensional phenomenon in nature and a large soundstage with good placement within along with "air" helps one sort through the music better, much like a large... | |

"Well put. I agree 100%. Technology and user habits move on but the music that has always been the dr... | |
| The future for a current Squeezebox user Steve,NEtwork streamers targeting audiophiles would seem to be ripe turf for some good new products these days. Its something that would get my attention.What media servers will that be tested with and why no wireless network connection?Thanks. | |

| Don't you just hate it when--- I dread it when my vinyl sound heads south for whatever reason, usually cart related. There are so many ways to go wrong and only one way to get it right. I try to never touch it unless I hear something off.Years ago, working at Tech Hifi, Lafayet... | |
| Electrostatic Speakers Take a look at OHM Walsh speakers for a unique dynamic design and means of operation (wave bending).I liked various dynamic speaker models and owned Maggies prior. I wanted Quad ES-like sound with bigger dynamics and a tad more meat on the bones f... | |
| Is high-end audio dying, if not dead already??? More expensive cars are bigger and have more stuff in them. . The bigger and more stuff in anything, the more there is to break. And cost more to fix as well. Its all part of the club. | |
| similar speakers Audiogon is great for what it is, a place to sell and buy and discuss "high end" audio gear. I guess if it ain't broke, don't fix it, though there are so many ways the site can be made better over time. That does cost money to do it right though. ... |
