| Totem Hawks I've heard really great soundstaging with the hawks and sim gear in the past. Which version of the Pathos do you have? I just listened to the mk II and thought it threw a nice soundstage with impressive depth and width for it's specs/size. I think... | |
| Searching for Good Headphones & Headphone Amp It depends on which concern is greater for you: providing your fiancee with a quiet atmosphere, or gaining the best headphone sound you can. If your goal is to have nice-sounding headphones which don't leak noise, then I'm affraid the Grado's migh... | |
| SACD player as transport or dedicated transport? Or look at a used Sony SCD-1. Hell of a transport, and phenom. SACD. Can be modded with really favorable results, and good resale price considering its age. | |
| sonny rollins Heh, not to mention that even picasso had his bad days! | |
| sonny rollins I agree with all previous posters. If he's playing more than one date there, see them all. He's the truth. | |
| Totem Hawks I second Drew_w's recommendation. Sim+Totem=goodmatch.You may want to look into the Cairn integrated, or a YBA integre. Those would also be pretty good matches for the Totems. As far as cabling goes I've found with my forests that Analysis plus wo... | |
| ZU DruidsMK2 vs. Totem Hawk and/or Forest I haven't heard the Druids, but am familiar with the review, and my buddy has heard them v. Gallo's Reference 3's, and has heard the forests in my system, and is familiar with the hawks as we auditioned them together. He hasn't heard any in A/B or... | |
| What is a "SHOTGUN" speaker cable?? So this is probably a stupid question, but this thread has me somewhat confused. So what's the sonic benefit of running wire from your speaker with 2 connections on amp end and 4 on speaker end, versus running normal cables and using jumpers on yo... | |
| Anyone heard new Moon I-7 Integrated Amp? I'm going to reserve my opinion on the looks until I see it in person, but I think the i-7 is pretty nice looking, and Sim seems all jazzed up about being able to customize the cosmetics. I'm hoping maybe that includes the LED display, because I f... | |
| Totem Forests vs Hawks...which is superior? Hey Dave_b, good to see you're going back to Totems (does this mean you're getting a Krell 400ix again?), When I first bought my forests I had actually meant to buy the hawks. Okay, I'm making it sound like the dealer didn't notice which box I got... | |
| Anyone heard new Moon I-7 Integrated Amp? Moon I-7 isn't available until late august according to Sim, or September according to my dealer. | |
| 5 CD's on your current "permanent " rotation. Grant Green: Green StreetElliot Smith: Elliot SmithCannonball Adderley and John Coltrane: Cannonball and ColtraneFranz Schubert: The Last Four QuartetsDonald Byrd: At the Half Note Cafe | |
| What's Next? Mattblueg,Not to harp on this point, but I think you're possibly approaching this from the wrong perspective. If you know you're going to go with McIntosh (not a bad decision, but curious why you it's def. mc gear?) then you should get the amplifi... | |
| New DAC or New Player?? That's a difficult question to answr because it depends on how much SACD listening you (plan to) do. I have an SCD-1 which I definitely want to keep even though I don't listen to a ton of SACD, and want to improve the redbook of the SCD-1. That's ... | |
| What's Next? Oh yeah...I hadn't even looked at your source. If what you want is to get good 2 channel sound, then you don't need to upgrade your speakers right now. I'd start by maybe getting a good integrated (there are a thousand threads on this, and I mysel... |
