Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs?
DG - Thanks. Folks at Totem replied to an email I sent and recommended the Storm (little bro. of Thunder) and not the Dreamcatcher. I'd appreciate any info about how you placed the sub. Thanks. 
Which DAC?
Running a VDac as well to facilitate internet music streaming and work in the limited space I have for it (it is tiny!). To break it in until my netbook arrives, I've been using the digital out from my Upgrade Factory modified Denon 2910. The Deno... 
Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs?
Folks - Thanks for the input...I'm mainly IN LOVE with the sound from the Forests. Just that every once in a while I'm thinking bass ought to be a little stronger (very recording specific too). Not so much deeper, just a tad bit louder (and I do m... 
Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help?
I'm curious how long the Scott was run with the new caps. I've been shocked at how long caps can take to "burn in" (for lack of a better expression). I think I'm with Philojet. M aybe things will get better with more time??? 
Shopping for a new netbook or laptop...
FWIW...went with Asus 1005HA with Windows 7 and 2GB Crucial RAM upgrade. 
Scotch? No thanks. Whats the best Vodka.?
Hey there, Mjwpicman - a guy at the State store also recommended Sobieski. He says it is rye-based. In any case, got some...it's good. Has body, flavor and is smoothe. Not to mention a very nice price. 
Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP
Honest1 - missed the OP's later post about temporary housing and landlord restrictions. Jferreir - My thought was to leave one duplex receptacle available for your amp (i.e., plug it directly into wall). Plugging a strip for non-audio devices into... 
Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP
While I'm hardly an expert on this topic, it seems to me you are looking for options to deal with a less than ideal situation. Compromises might well be needed. I attempted to provide a multi-outlet solution for consideration. The H-10 is inexpens... 
Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP
Consider an APC Power Conditioner H-10 as a low cost option for the audio side of your system. 
Shopping for a new netbook or laptop...
Once again, thanks to all for your generously given input. 
Shopping for a new netbook or laptop...
Thanks to all for your time and input. Some good leads to follow up on. Whether I go PC or MAC, right now I'm just trying to understand if their are minimum processor, RAM and hard drive specs I should observe. Again, my needs are simple: listen t... 
Power Cables which take the soundstage back
You might consider a MAC (My Audio Cables) HC Sound Pipe. Reasonably priced ( 
DAC's ?
Musical Fidelity offers a very affordable unit called the V-DAC. It's also quite small - a plus if you are space- limited as I am. Another Audiogon member highly recommends Beresford's TC 7520. Good luck. 
Double Albums/CDs, curse or blessing?
Second's to Loomis for "Exile On Main Street" and Smholl for "The River". Both are solid throughout, IMO. 
SED Winged C el34. Help
Can't speak to whether the SED "Winged C" will be an upgrade over the EH 6ca7. I've been running Winged Cs as a replacement for stock Chinese EL34s. The Winged Cs made a HUGE difference.Check our Doug's Tubes for reasonably priced, burned in and m...
