| Musical Fidelity fine-tuning service I have a MF A5.5 and just recently blew the fuse on the right channel. When I replaced the fuse, I was noticing how there could be much room for improvement in this eastern factory made amp. The amp does sound good though.It's too bad they don't h... | |
| Anyone hear the new Totem "The One" vs Mani 2 sig Anyone?I just bought last night a pair of Mani Signatures in perfect condition (there beautiful) and have to sadly say there too big for my room and overloading (dam-n it). The person who I bought them from let me go over to his house for a listen... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for a bedroom. What kind of music are you playing & how loud, do you have stands and how big is the room? Also, how lively is the room (clap test)? Budget?I had to go through a similar situation for my bedroom and due to the wife factor had to keep the speak... | |
| naim vs ayre I own a Ax-7e (an excellent integrated) and I don't mean to side track your thread but I suspect it does not have enough juice for your Confidence c1's.The Confidence have been measured with 85db@4ohm. I have the Totem Ones and they have approx. t... | |
| Anyone hear the new Totem "The One" vs Mani 2 sig I know this is an old thread but resurrecting it because this is exactly the same question I currently have.Has anyone compared them in there own system?I have a pair of the the orig. Totem Model Ones and love them. I personally modified them with... | |
| Phono preamp Sorry to hear about your experience with MSS. I have to agree with avoiding MSS HiFi, the guy who so calls himself "the king of audio" but has terrible customer service, in fact down right rude. They tried to sell me something that was mis-describ... | |
| Which Totem Speakers Depends on budget and music taste. My room is that size and I have the Model One's and have been very, very happy. With really solid stands and the right matching gear, the Model One's will sound very good and will give you very surprising bass.Mo... | |
| Recommended new speakers for under $500? JohnBlue JB3 would be my suggestion. Do a search for reviews. You can always add a sub later to make them really shine. | |
| To Bi-wire or not? Don't quote me but on this but it maybe related to your question. I read back somewhere in a interview with Cardas that you want to run the smallest gauge possible( just above the min.) that is required by your speakers otherwise bass can be effec... | |
| totem model 1 vs. quad 11L I have the Totem's and love them dearly but it took a lot of trial and error. The post above is absolutely correct. You need loads of power and I mean serious power to load up the speakers. If you could afford tube amps big enough to run the totem... | |
| Replacing Totems One's Yes, all files are lossless. I replaced the Mac Mini HD with a new 500gb 7200rpm hardrive and it's still silent like a mouse and with the Devilsound Dac it sounds as good or better than a Meridian G08 that a friend of mine lent me. I borrowed it t... | |
| Replacing Totems One's Ok, I experimented:I have a Ayre AX-7 integrated amplifier with a Mac Mini & Devilsound DAC as a source.Results: Unbelievable scary how good it is.The amp is solid state no doubt about it but I can not afford the Tube amp or the foot print siz... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Hey Insomniac99, Just read your post for the first time and we are having very similar situations. Read my post "replacing Totem One's". Totem Ones have the most amazing soundstage and Imaging that very few others can beat and I have auditioned an... | |
| Replacing Totems One's Thanks everyone, The Merlins & the Guru's are on the short list. I will try to listen to a pair of Guru's this week. Hearing Merlins will be difficult without a first buying a pair.The wife wants wood and as long as she gets it, I don't need a... | |
| Replacing Totems One's Quick note: I just installed a new Devilsound usb DAC V.2 to my Mac Mini. I used the Mac Mini as a source to watch a DVD movie and it blew away my Linn classik Movie in regards to sound and I was still using the Linn as a amp/pre-amp with the Mac ... |
