| Good Amp with totem model 1s? the best match I have heard for the Model 1 is the Conrad Johnson CAV 50 tube amplifier. This is the combination I own and I have yet to find a better match for the Model 1. you can find used CAV 50 on audiogon for your target price range. I had m... | |
| Problems with blown fuses on Conrad CAV 50 ? Thank you a weak tube was indeed the root cause of the problem. | |
| Improve Bryston B100-SST and Totem Model 1 Sig do as I did: buy your Conrad Johnson CAV 50 used off Audiogon. It turned out to be an almost new unit and I have been happy ever since. Oddly enough, I have the same system as your friend. The reason for the system sounding so good is that the Tot... | |

| Music from video clip. Tough one. The best bet, in my opinion, is to access amazon.com and consult the Band of Brothers soundtrack. Some of the posted comments might help you narrow down your search. Purchasing the soundtrack would not be a bad move either. | |
| Review: Totem Acoustics Model 1 Monitor Thejapelvis:the tweeter on Tom Model 1's are SEAS, a norwegian company if I understand correctly | |
| Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used Conrad Johnson CAV 50 used on Audiogon | |
| Upgrading to Totem Mani 2's I attended the March 2006 hifi show in Montreal and the best room by far, in my book was the one with a set of Totem Mani-2 driven by Conrad Johnson Preamp (the new CT5) & 2 CJ amps and Chord transport and DAC. Simply out of this world ! I did... | |
| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? Grakesh,I am lying a bit, the entire aprtment is 1200 sq.ft. the open area where the Totems are measures some 700 sq.ft. That being said, you do hear them in the other rooms and in the main room the sound really goes wall to wall to wall. Listenin... | |
| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? Grakesh,to my knowledge the CAV 50 espouses a minimalist approach, hence a remote is, unfortunately, not an option. I understand that a CJ pre-amp and amplifier combo would not be constrained by this limitation.I cannot find a subwoofer out on my ... | |
| Arcam CD73t or Rega Planet 2000 I was fortunate enough to have access to a dealer that carries Rega, Arcam & Bryston. Hopefully if you can find such a dealer in your neck of the woods, you could carry the comparison in a set-up that mimics your own and then you'll be able to... | |
| Arcam CD73t or Rega Planet 2000 I would personally go with the Rega Planet 2000. I have auditoned both. But if you have the upgrade bug, I found the Rega Planet 2000 to be able to keep up better with higher grade gear. I.e. in a medium budget set-up (e.g. NAD/Arcam/Rotel/Marantz... | |
| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? Difficult to answer as component matching is key. I can vouch for the Conrad Johnson CAV 50 as a beautiful sounding amp. Mine is matched with Totem Model 1 speakers. Wonderful combination (fast, punchy, lush, musical, wide soundstage). My only exp... | |
| Totem Arros - Tube Amps ? one more vote Conrad CAV 50. I drive Totem Model 1 with it, very convincingly. Most Totems, in my experience love CJ amplification. | |
| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? I hold a special place in my heart for the Conrad Johnson CAV 50. Coupled with the Totem Model 1 signatures, it delivers a beautiful, organic, fast, wide soundstage and lush sound. Works wonders with acoustic material and voices. I understand it i... |
