| NAD C541 Tray Won't Open Steve,You are a gentleman and a scholar. Thanks very much for chiming in and adding this info! Greatly appreciated. | |
| Audioquest Rocket 88 MIketuason,Thanks for your question. I'm not sure if my non-dbs Rocket88 has the plug for the DBS. Will check later when I get home. | |
| NAD C541 Tray Won't Open Thanks very much for the reply. Any other thoughts? | |
| Integrated vs using DAC or old NAD 1700 Doug,Do you have a Bryston dealer in your area? I have owned both NAD and Bryston gear. At least to my ears, they have a different sound signature. I would strongly suggest you go listen for yourself and make sure you like..While quality separates... | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? Jkontuly,Your idea of trying your Rainmakers with your friend's system sounds great. That will at least answer part of the question. A quick check to the Totem website will answer your question about recommended amplification for the Arro and Rain... | |
| Audioquest Rocket series You find relatively little on the forums about AQ Rocket series. Not a popular choice around here. I am very pleased with my current speaker wire- AQ Rocket 88 (non-DBS), purchased from musicdirect. A definite step-up from AQ Type 4. If you have a... | |
| Totem and Bel Canto? Another vote for the Naim + Totem combination. I have owned two Naim integrateds, the 5i and the XS. Loved them both. They both paired quite nicely with a pair of Totem Arro floorstanders. Some folks really like the Naim sound. If you've never hea... | |
| Help me w/ small towers-bedroom HT/music system Another +1 for Totem Arro for a bedroom HT/music system. Strong WAF. If you plan on using surrounds, Totem Dreamcatchers mate very well with the Arros. | |
| Sonicweld or M2Tech hiFace usb to spdif converter I tried the M2Tech HiFace (stock) and it didn't last long in my system. All reports suggest that M2Tech HiFace Evo is greatly improved. Have you considered trying Halide Design Bridge USB to SPDIF Converter? I am using one currently with my MacBoo... | |
| Audioquest Rocket 88 Hey Miketuason,I don't have any more information, but I did end up picking up a pair of Rocket 88 non-DBS from www.musicdirect.com. I've been using it in my 2-channel system for the past month or so with great results. Good value for the money. | |
| Solid State CD Player under $2000 You have been given some excellent recommendations in this thread. I would add Bryston BCD-1 to the list. I own it and it is superb. I have also owned Naim CDP in the past. With your budget, look for BCD- in the S/H market. I can't help but ask, w... | |
| Bryston Digital Transport Richard,The BDP-1 has definitely been getting a bunch of rave reviews. If you are looking to hear from current users, you might want to check out the Bryston forums on www.audiocircle.com. Nice bunch of folks. | |
| Audioquest Rocket 88 Miketuason,Glad you are enjoying your cable. How did you choose it? I didn't have the same Google experience as you. Very little information. As you can see, yours was the only informed reply in this thread so far on 'Gon. | |
| Does anyone have a Bryston 4b-st driving horns? Do you have a local Bryston dealer? I would recommend that you go listen with your own ears. I am greatly enjoying my recently acquired S/H Bryston 4BSST. I wasn't ready to pull out the extra money needed to reach to the current crop of SST 2 Brys... | |
| Naim Nait 5i-2 for Totem Sttaf Things should work out great! Let us know how you make out. I have used both Naim 5i-2 and XS with Totem Arro and DreamCatcher. Naim + Totem= sweet music. |
