| Looking at new amp for Totem Mani-2 signature Update: I added a Pass X250.8 amp and XP-10 Pre-amp in place of the Musical Fidelity integrated.

| opinions on amp for Totem Mani Sigs a few of the McCormack amps like they might be up to the challenge too plus at a good price used(DNA-2, DNA-225 and DNA 500). Not as sexy looking as the Pass amps with the big blue meter, but stable down to 1 ohm with high current. | |
| opinions on amp for Totem Mani Sigs I think that my Musical Fidelity amp may be taxed by the low impedance curve of the mani-2's. They are said to go as low as 2 ohms and I am not sure that the MF amp can deliver the required current | |
| Analysis Plus oval 9 question brilliant suggestion Tvad! Dunno why I did not think of that! I am kinda slow on Saturdays (as well as the rest of the week) | |
| cartridges for Thorens TD 147 I just discovered that the stylus on my V15 is a N75-3 model that is used to play 78's. No wonder it didn't track very well it is supposed to be set up with a minimum tracking force of 3 grams and I was trying to play LP's @ 1 gram). I guess this ... | |
| cartridges for Thorens TD 147 I received the tonearm wand with attached Shure V15 type ii yesterday so I went out and bought a geodisc protractor and proceeded to set my TT up with the new rig. The stylus on the V15ii had a silver "shure" decal on top of a green plastic holder... | |
| cartridges for Thorens TD 147 The type ii doesn't seem to have as great a following as later iterations of the v15 but hopefully, it will sound better than the grado red that I am running. Does anyone know how the Grace f-9e might work with my table? | |

My system is now up in "virtual systems" if you care to look/critique or make suggestions.I just finished filling the stands with sand and putting them back under th... | |
| speakers to go with Musical Fidelity a5.5 amp I finally picked the totem mani 2 signature. These little monitors sound great with my MF amp! | |

| Nad c-370: Right Channel drops out I am not sure what type of switches the amp has. I will try the cleaning this weekend and see what happens.Surely more audiogoners have pets and smoke than what the for sale adds would leave you to believe... | |
| Nad c-370: Right Channel drops out thanks Mag fan. I'll try blowing it out with a can of compressed air and then follow up with the contact cleaner. It looks a bit furry inside. I have have dogs and cats and unlike most audiogoners who post items for sale, I smoke like a freaking c... | |
| speakers to go with Musical Fidelity a5.5 amp The JBL 100 looks like it has a lot to offer as far as bass and price (several under $500 here and on ebay), but can it do the imaging/disappearing routine? The JBL L300 looks like a possibility too though it is kind of pricey on the used market. |
