| Totem users using Totem cable? I'm using Totem Bi-wires with my Mani-2s. I've tried others, most notably PS Audio Statement bi-wire. The totems were an improvement, and don't have the bulk of the Statements | |
| Bias on solid state? right you are Grimace . . . I neglected to engage my brain before that post. As for your question - there may be more authoritative responders, but it does affect sound, and also determines class of operation. For example, by B&K M200s are bia... | |
| What are the best small not bookshelf speakers? Totem Sttaf! Compact, small footprint, nice to look at, and sound great in that size room. n You can get them in different color veneer to blend with your other furnishings. | |
| Bias on solid state? also, the Nuvistor is actually a tube, not a transistor. | |
| New to Home Theater Well here's my 2 cents - based on setting up my own "cave".I assume you're happy with the JC2, and the A21. I would build around that. You may want to allocate some of your budget to buy new/upgraded speakers for your "cave", and leave the Studio ... | |
| New to Home Theater a couple of questions first . . . why do you want HT in both rooms? and what is your budget for room 2 HT capability? | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? I find it's harder to be skeptical if there is a rational hypothesis provided that's at least loosely grounded in the physics, acoustics, or material sciences. How a fuse that's conducting AC, especially one that's not in the signal path, can have... | |
| cd storage I've learned to like the drawer storage. It's easy to search through, and easier on my aging back. Also, uses less wall space, which is an advantage to me vs using less floor space.In my case I purchased Ikea Maalm 6 drawer dresser and installed d... | |
| Will there be any 'Arrow' mark in a Fuse holder? I think the quote was someone's joke. Fuses complete the continuity of a single wire. There no reason at all fro them to be directional. I've never seen a directional fuse or fuse holder. | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? my cars COST cost more (2000 Jag S-Type, and 2002 BMW 530i), but at this point my system is worth much more. | |
| Tonearm scratches they are pretty normal, and inevitable. I wouldn't worry about them. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? Usually ~85 db, sometimes a little louder (88-90), sometimes a little softer (80-82) | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music I love live performances for the performance, but I can't recall ever being fully satisfied with the sonics - whether it be due to my seat location, the venue acoustics, audience distractions, or the performer's poor mix setting - it's never as go... | |
| Equipment not worth fixing, what to do? what Entrope and Jedinite said . . . you'd be surprised what they will fetch at auction (especially the P300, though not sure about the Oppo). And all you need to do is package them up for safe shipment. | |
| Parasound HCA-2200II Runs Very Hot I had a HCA2200 and they are biased for (I think) ~20-25 watts of class A, which makes them run very hot - even at idle. If it's not too hot to touch I suspect yours is running exactly as it's suppose to. |
