| How to stop upgrading and aviod going bankrupt???? I ended my long search with a Pass Aleph 5 and a apir of Totem Acoustic Mani-2 speakers. It's over. I have found the enduring combination. It's over. I bought a pair of Cary 300BSE amps just to swap out now and then, but the Pass Totem combination... | |
| Going to take the plunge. Suggest a Cary CAD-300B pair of monoblocks and a small pair of Coincident speakers (very effiicient). Then, find and restore a Dynaco FM-3 tuner and you are home. If you really want a superb DAC, try the Musical Fidelity DAC-21 recently reviewed i... | |

| what amp to use with my Musical Fidelity cd pre24? Suggest what i used when I had the CD-PE-24, that is a Pass Aleph 5 or 3. Great amps. Well reviewed. I used Johnson Audio Alcatraz interconnetcs. The Pass have a balanced input as well as an unbalanced input so you're OK. BTW, I returned the CD-PR... | |
| Tube DACs Try auditioning the Musical Fidelity TRIVISTA-21 DAC. Simply amazing! | |
| Totem Mani-2 and tubes I am using an ARC VT-100 on my Mani-2s with excellent results. I also use a Pass Aleph 5 on them with equally good results as the amps are similar in their character. No sub needed in either case. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century The Musical Fidelity CD-PRE-24 is awesome with a DAC, ADC, Transport and Preamp in one chassis. Great sound! | |
