| EAD PM 2000 or Theta Dread? agreed with Jimmy- however I have the Dreadnaught, and haven't looked back- if you are more into 2-channel, the Dread will probably be best- for HT, most likely the PM2000, but either would be OK | |
| A A Capitole MKii Upgrade/Update Rap- passive was a proprietary one made by Israel Blume (Coincident Speaker)- VERY transparent. HOWEVER, I gave it back to him, as upon further review, I missed some of the natural bloom of the music when using the passive, and went back to direct... | |
| Feedback on Great Northern Sound Company Upgrades Jmr- if all goes well- I am thinking of sending my Capitole Gen I to Steve as well (have already spoken with him)- please post your results, or send me an e-mail- thanksSutts | |
| A A Capitole MKii Upgrade/Update You couldn't pry my Cap MKI away from me- added a top quality passive, and that was the ticket- new version mucho denaro anyways... | |
| A Challenge: CD with volume, passive or preamp can't make it, as I live up here in Canada- but can give some feedback on this issue. I have the Audio Aero Capitole CDP, and noticed improved clarity upon adding a very good custom-built passive pre in the chain- I now believe the Cap's analog vo... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Ben- you are f*****g HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just read your entire post to my girlfriend (we are both movie buffs- and take a week off every year here in Toronto for the International Festival), and she was almost on the floor with laughter. Du... | |
| Need amp suggestions for Totem-based setup forget it- not enough $$. I have 5 Totem Mani-2's in my HT system, and use the Theta Dreadnaught (400 wpc into 4 ohms- ~ $6k) with good success. Save up and spend more $$ on a better amp- you won't be disappointed | |
| Analog Pass Thru I upgraded from my Citation 5.0 to the Sim Audio Attraction- now with true analog pass through; balanced outputs, and the best analog section of any processor, combined with super-low noise floor | |
| What are the best amps for driving Totem Mani 2s? I have 5 Mani-2's in my home theater system, and used to use them for 2-channel. The Sim W5 is an excellent recommendation, however, it is NOT true that they can not sound excellent with tubes as well- I am currently driving a pair of them with a ... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? Mike- I spoke with Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound yesterday about his upcoming upgrade mod for the Cap Gen 1- it sounds cool, and I will post a review if I end up springing for it... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? yikes- Valhalla's??!! What are the IC's worth (both pairs together) | |
| Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one Costa does price his upgrades somewhat higher than I would like. I have their excellent 'Attraction' HT processor- excellent analog section, and runs fully balanced outs on all 6 channels, HOWEVER, just to do a small upgrade to the digital board, ... | |
| Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one Lgregoir- I would LOVE to still have my Eclipse on hand to do a test of it as a transport only, using the digital 'in' on the Capitole. Why? Because as a TRANSPORT, the Eclipse is KILLER, extremely well built with a huge outboard power supply. Jus... | |
| Capitole owners- any benefits to external preamp?? Mike- where is 'unity gain' on the Cap dial? I assumed that if adding external preamp, I would simply crank the Cap's volume control all the way, then attenuate with the Placette's volume- no??Secondly, what interconnects did you use (since with t... | |
| Anyone compare Sim Audio Ecplise to Audio Aero 24/ Yes- extensively. I used to own the Eclipse, and now own the Capitole. Eclipse- awesome bass, better 'air', micro-detail retrieval excellent on both. Capitole- more organic and natural midrange, more 'intimate' experience, most analog-like digital... |
