| Need help choosing a monitor The JM 906 alternatives are certainly Totem Tabu or Totem Mani whichever is affordable. Great monitors for a buck. Tabu-s are certainly better performers than 906 imo. | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? ...not at all difficult, Gunbei. You know what are modern walls are made of -- shit-rack. Just make sure you don't hid the beam or wiring. Get beam/metal seeker in advance. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog I've been collecting vinyls since I'm 5. When I've got my first cheap used Nad CD player and played "Dark Side of The Moon" (That was the first CD I've ever played back there) i was literally dissapointed with the sound. I was TOTALLY CONFUSED and... | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Will your wife allow you to place a woofer under the dinner table?I've recently bought Totem Mite and hooked them with audioadvisor offered wall mounts in my kitchen. Then I threaded speaker wires through the walls onto the living room where my ma... | |
| Speaker ratings, how to interpret? In many cases(i will try to bring my point) the low efficiency speaker can be successfully driven with low-wattage amp with almost no compromise meaning "2 tone speaker with 1 tone amp" and also the other way arround: some of the efficient speaker... | |
| Best Pre-amp under 2k-USED I would not bet on VTL 2.5 and cannot say that it's best buy under $2k or even under $1k. Off your list I woud picl BAT or Melos. I would add Pass L passive-active preamp. (only used availabe for arround $1k) | |

| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Does any high-end company advertises itself on any general interest magazines???????give me a break! | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist ...and that's what I was talking about that even on the cheap CD-player you can hear differences between original and "Manufactured Under License by BMG" CDs. I bet that with good ADC and CDRW you can burn CDs better than does it BMG. | |
| TOTALLY CONFUSED about analog Well, If you can start higher you should go for Basis1400/RB300 combo and define for yourself a cartridge which you want to use. There are 4 variables in analogue playback: Table, Arm, Cartridge and Phono.I've started from Rega p3 and I was please... | |
| Please help me tame the bass beast I wonder what stands do you use if any. I have Totem Forest speakers that are standing on the 3/4"MDF platform with their original ball-feet and the platform is placed on the vibrapods. That setup brings more natural bass and eliminates floor reso... | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist BMG CD quality is different with the one without the BMG label on it. Tese are cheap CDs produced by or for BMG and they realy compromise in sonic quality. You basically get whatever you've paid for. I'm in NY so I can shop for the bargain classic... | |
| Best source of lead shot? I deeply appreciate Karls and Fatparrot for their great answers to my inside-the-thread question. | |
| Tube amp decision? VK60 is a good choice but the best one is to get a pair of VK60 monos (120W/ch). | |
| Affordable TurnTable shoot-out..... Fuji:..,It's the same RB300 arm as REGA just only made for Basis with Basis armboard and VTA. It's kind of cartridge-independed combo. I've listened to it with Benz Glider 2 and I can bet that cheaper cartridge(Dynavector 10 series) will also soun... |
