| Integrates That Go Well With Totem Forest There's a guy on Audiogon selling a CODA CSiB integrated amplifier that would power your Totem Forrest speakers. I use a CODA 10.5r to power my Totem Sttaf speakers with great results. Doug Dale from CODA makes precision, high-quality audio equipm... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search See if you can find a pair of (used) Totem Sttaf speakers for sale. Great sound from a small floor-standing speaker. Incredible range and solid construction. | |
| Kevin gets the Kevin is a great guy to work with. I've been purchasing equipment from him for several years now. I have nothing but praise in his ability to deliver and stand behind his products (even when the manufacturer won't). Here's a recent example. Three ... | |
| Chinook vs AR PH5/6 I've owned the Manley Chinook for one year now. In my opinion, the resolution is superb. Of course, I replaced all stock tubes with Siemens Halske tubes from Vintage Tube Services. I'm sure that made a huge difference in the resolution and overall... | |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel Was on another website and got some great ideas. Need to check out speaker damping. My speakers sit directly on carpet. They come with spikes but I didn't install them. Maybe I need to use them or put some marble pavers underneath them. Secondly, ... | |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel Thanks for the great ideas. I'll give them a try and see what happens when I get the speaker cable back from Acoustic Zen. First, I'll hook up everything as it should be and then wait for the right channel to shut down. Unless AZ detected problems... | |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel Thanks for the recommendation. You're right, this is going to take an inordinate amount of time to isolate. I wonder if I should just contact CODA Technologies and cut to the chase and see what they say about the problem. I wonder if the right cha... | |
| Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel I had something happen similar to this issue one year ago when I bought the Ray Samuels Nighthawk phono preamp. The amplifier would go into protect mode while playing music. Before I checked the phono stage with the multimeter for DC leakage, I se... | |

| What is a better route, tube or SS preamp? I agree with Audiolabyrinth. Tube preamp to solid state amplifier is great sounding. I own same. CODA 10.5r solid state amp mated to Cary Audio SLP98L tube preamp. Just make sure you don't combine a direct-coupled preamp with direct-coupled solid ... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used I have an almost brand-new CODA solid-state 05x preamplifier that would probably work for you. It has the full five year transferable warranty available. The unit features full function remote control capability. This solid-state preamp sounds exc... | |
| Tube preamp for $2,000 If you can find the Mystere CA11, that would be my recommendation. Great value for the price. Last time I checked, they were back ordered six months. Series regulated push pull architecture coupled with 6SN7 tubes and 5AR4 rectifier tube. Piano gl... | |
| Looking for a good set of speakers cables. My suggestion would be Mapleshape Double Helix speaker cables with Plus Upgrade. They're very detailed, transparent yet warm, and inexpensively priced. The deep bass and pitch definition are particularly noteworthy. http://shop.mapleshadestore.com... | |
