    New vinyl, think I'm done

    I'm 53 years old. Not new to vinyl. NEW VINYL however sucks and the last thing I'm interested in is goofy weights etc to correct people that cannot press a record. I've worked with therrmoplastics plenty myself. ITS NOT HARD to avoid these problems. They rush the process, that simple. 99 out...

    Totem Torrent driver issues element series

    Wondering if anyone has any info as I've run into damaged Torrent drivers 3x now. On the Tribe and V1 Fire. Tribe was sloppy manufacturing surround seemed to be repaired. Fire the driver had a rub. This is strange to me for such an expensive speaker and I read in other forums the lack of...

    Nakamichi Dragon vs Harman Kardon CD491 shootout

    Not close in my opinion. One is a very good cassette deck. One is a stellar cassette deck. Just my opinion.

    Nakamichi Dragon vs Harman Kardon CD491 shootout

    Which do you prefer? The Dragon has been my goto since solving its problems. The Harman came up supposedly fully serviced so I bought it. I didn't expect equality. Each is highly regarded so I though this would be interesting. I prefer the Dragon. However the HK is a pretty good deck. Overall...

    Totem Speakers

    The V1 Fire were not picky about placement. And dealers love to sell the you need 15k amps to drive them. You don't. There's lots of good amps with plenty current that aren't Leema or Sim etc.

    Totem Speakers

    I am lusting after the new Totem Element Metal But the price is insane. So I've been looking at old Totems. Wondering what members have/had and thoughts? I'll start; Had the V1 Fires and they were quite a nice speaker but sounded "small" in comparison to my Sonus Faber Luito towers. The...
