| Fuses that matter. Chuck,So you replaced all Synergistic Research with AMR? I don't see them under your Accessories list. | |
| totem rainmakers Totems are nice speakers, no doubt. But I believe they require a bit of power to sound their best. As Tbromgard suggested, a NAD integrated (with 80W) would go well with these speakers.I suggest that you try more sensitive speakers like the Tekton... | |
| Parasound Halo a-21 , One overlooked great amp Well, after Thankful resurrected this thread, all I can say Audioman is - Balanced on this amp makes a ton of a difference in my system, as it provided me with the gain I needed. Also I feel the sound stage is also raised up considerably. The next... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Signal Cable Silver Resolution bi-wires would work great and in your budget. | |
| My two cents... More than anything, I think it is the placement that affects the speakers the most. The amp/preamp is also a factor - but you have optimized your setup to your room. There are few dealers with multiple speaker setup that do that in a demo room. I ... | |
| Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical Good to hear the Marantz vs Sony comments. I have heard a lot of good things about the Sony. I love the Marantz I have which is actually the weakest link in my system currently. I would like to have a SACD player with XLR out.I was not aware that ... | |
| Marantz SA8004 is fundamentally musical Mcpherson,Well, that is his favorite thing. Check out other threads, where people talk about Solid State amps and CDPs and he comes in and says how crappy they are and tubes are the way to go. So people who like to stay with solid state components... | |

| upscale audio is this legal? Rsf507,I have never purchased from Upscale. But reading thru the entire thread, I do not see them to be at fault. What part in Upscale's response do you find offensive that you would not want to deal with them? OTOH OP has hidden some info that Up... | |
| Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system... You cannot go wrong with a NAD. From personal experience, they are very musical. You can also take a look at some Marantz or Onkyo. | |
| Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player Not related, but is this the S3 version? Would be curious to know your thoughts on this player. | |
| Speaker Cable and Interconnects under $1000 Unless $1000 is mandatory, I would heartily recommend the Signal Cable Silver Resolution line, based on personal experience. Save the rest of the $$s and purchase more music with that.Signal Cable Silver Resolution | |
| Totem vs Audio Physic / Schweikert JW,You resurrected a topic from 7 years back!! I remember those days when I was auditioning loudspeakers like crazy!! With much experience, all I can say is the Totems like real power to show off their best. | |
| CD player output volume? You should check the spec on both player's output. Most are 2~2.5 V RMS through RCA and > 3.5 V RMS through XLR. Some do only 2~2.5 V RMS even through XLR.Maybe the Rotel had significantly more VRMS than the Grant Fidelity? Were you using XLR o... | |
| Stabilizers and footers You should checkout Herbie's Audio Lab. |
