| Advantages of upgrade from VPI 16.5 RCM Sunny, Having moved all the way through the VPI line I can say that with my new Typhoon, cleaning records is almost fun now. This machine is so quiet and powerful, there is no comparison to my former fav the 17. Clean for an hour if you want, the ... | |
| Hi End rack really deliver? Joe, The rack really only comes into play with a turntable. There seems to be as much hype in the rack biz as the cable game. As you become more familiar with the players you will notice many of the same parts, extrusions and spikes etc. When you ... | |
| Power amp Suggestions for Dunlavy SC-IV T, Dunlavys are a very high efficiency design. You will be pleasantly suprised how well the old Marantz amps will do. You will however need a subwoofer, set at 60hz, maybe higher. Use the amp budget for that. | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? The Sttaf is actually the most efficient in the line. I currently have a pair on display powered by a 20 watt amp with great results. I don't think I am going out on a limb saying the differences between models are imperceptible. All totems shine ... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Wow R, I'm a Totem dealer and you have almost as much inventory as I do! I have to disagree on the placement observations, but you are right on in regards to room size. In my humble opinion, Totem is one of the best value brands out there. Once yo... | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Current retail for Mani-2 Sig is 4895. Cherry and Maple command 5295. T4L is the current # stand. Totem stands rule. | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Mimberman, Huh? Forest over Hawk of course. Every step up the Totem line is easy to hear. Just trying to pin down the OPs budget. Manis (new) are 6k and like/need power. | |
| Totem Forest or Mani-2 signature? Metro, Congtats on discovering the holy grail of speakers. I would suggest comparing Hawk with Mani-2, budget providing. Keep in mind Manis and the requisite stands have a retail almost double the Hawk. At Sttaf price point, look at the Model One ... | |
| Are most PC's ROHS now compliant? Tab,Any mfgr that sells anywhere outside the US is ROHS. I can't think of a brand who isn't. Not just PCs, but spkr. and ICs as well. Z. | |
| Review of Totem Speakers Totem sells every Wind produced. Shaman is no longer in production. | |
| Optimal digital cable length -- science or voodoo? J, what you are reading about translates to the many low end cable manufacturer's inability to maintain the 75 or 110 ohm impedance across the required frequencies for more than one length. Run don't walk from any brand in this category. Z. | |
| ATL Record Show Sept 28th Can anyone attend? | |
| Cleaning "Gruv Glide" off of an Lp Eweed, Gruv Glide is designed to wash right off. No worries. I use it, and like it. Kills static if you live in a dry climate. I believe it improves the sound as well. Very minor HF improvement and less surface noise. Z. | |
| Generic cleaning/fluid applicator brushes J, Can't help with the brush. I have been cautioned by The Disc DR himself not to scrimp here. Mr Weisfield has a fluid formula he will give for the asking. I am extremely happy with the results. Less than 2 bucks a GALLON!! Z. | |
| concrete slab vs/ wood floor - pros and cons Jaffe, Don't leave! We construction professionals can provide valuable suggestions, (including advice to seek local professionals) as well as nip the bad advice in the bud. As to the bantering (what a polite term!) I have seen a huge increase in p... |
