| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. If you have the right mat, a clamp is not beneficial. | |
| Fun, small footprint, floor standers Totem Sttaf | |
| Bi-Amplifying Speakers using two B&K Sonata Ex 442 I vertically biamp too - pretty common, but does not accomplish (ie as you believe) what an active crossover does. It's true that both sections receive a full 200 w/c, but they are ALSO receiving the full bandwidth of your preamp (ie 20hz - 20khz)... | |
| CNN article me to - great article. thanks for posting! | |
| 4 OHM speakers with an 8 OHM amplifier? the MF200 is a solid state amp that should be fine driving 4 ohms, maybe even 2 ohms. | |
| Counterpoint SA-20 Amplifier I would list it for sale here, or on ebay as an auction with clear description of the issues and a "needs repair - as-is" buy. Someone will buy it happily, possibly at a surprising price. | |
| VPI Hw-19 Jr. Thoughts? I had a VPI HW19 jr and while it was a nice table, it was somewhat of an entry table. It bought one to upgrade from a Music Hall MMF-5 and wasn't overwhelmed. It's a sturdy table, but I think most folks want them because they can be upgraded to th... | |
| Modifying the TAD-60 I agree, an separate chassis would be preferable to me. | |
| Rating system insanity glad it turned out thanks to PS Audio. Situations like this are what negative feedback was created for . . . | |
| Amp with best bass control Electron Kinetics Eagle 2, 4, etc. Also Bedini amps - at least the Bedini 100/100. | |
| Totem Sttaf I've used my Sttafs with tubes and a multiple different SS amps. I would not say they are a better match for Tubes, but they do sound really nice with tubes. All of the amps I have used, at least the ones that sound good with them are high power (... | |
| Yaqin integrated anybody heard them or own one I had a 50W EL34 based integrated (I think the model was MC10L or something like that). For the money it was very nice. I didn't have it for long so I can't say anything about reliability. I sold it because it was a spare system that didn't get us... | |
| Totem Sttaf sounds like it's time for you to punt on the Sttafs. They are one of my favorite speakers ever - I've never had any complaints, but tastes differ. It's possible the stiuation you have is contributing to it (amps, room, etc), but still, you tried. ... | |
| What's it worth? you need to pay for the bluebook subscription. Also, buy an for sale ad. | |
| Totem Sttaf break in may be an issue in this case with <100 hours on them, although Totem says 60-80 hours is the normal break in time. I recall the dealer telling me 100-200 hours. I would pull them further out into the room if you can. Also, try differen... |
