Ok guys, I found it - Totem “The One” im completely out of touch with audio these days and would like to know what (small) player I might want, do I need a pre-amp, and will the MC30s pair well with the Totems? This stuff will ideally have to fi...

Anybody help me unload all of this on Audiogon….
Thanks for that guys….anyone know of a store like TRM in the San Francisco area? Since I respect this site (Audiogon) I feel a little disrespectful using the site to just get information to sell the gear elsewhere and I’m not even sure if this is...

Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i.......
Jax2 - Hi,Didn't check out that link yet. If it is very technical I will probably be lost. Anyway, don't know how they would come up with numbers that would suggest different to what I am hearing - it really is a massive difference. Pity you didn'... 
Headphones - Senn HD 800 or Grado RS1i.......
Hi Guys - some wrong info on last post.....the Denons were actually $349 and not two hundred odds, still well worth it at two or three times the price though. A real shame that certain gear including headphones can lose all that low end, the stuff...
