I used a Linn Klout with my Totem Mani-2 for a few years and was very happy with the results. The key is the current of the amp, oversized toroidal transformer and 40,ooo uf of capacitance per channel. The Klout can be had second hand for about $1,200.00 . I would go for the models with the female banana plugs(serial number <5000), this models have the standard female bananas. I used Kimber 8-TC with the Nordost Z-Plugs on both ends of the cable.
Hope this helps. Hector
