    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

    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

    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...

    Computer to DAC, what software?

    So I connected my laptop to DAC. Wondering what software you guys use to stream stuff. Ideally I'd like to pull files off wifi from my desktop etc. In the past I used my oppo to stream. I'm quite ignorant of how to best feed my dac files directly via usb. I've used media player and VLC but...

    Lyra Delos vs Denon 103

    and begin! Seriously, I want to know. I sometimes wonder is that 103 just should be the only cart I use since it gets me 90% there compared to any money I've spent otherwise and ... well, if the cat takes a swipe, another is available cheap and easy, they all sound the same and ... well again I...

    Anyone else disgusted with (NU Vinyl)?

    I will never understand why anyone would buy an album recorded in digital, mixed digital and mastered digital on Vinyl. Yet its hard to explain to the new generation that goes home with it, puts it on a Crosley thru bookshelf speakers and raves about the analog sound. Hair pulling insanity. The...

    SimAudio Moon why no threads active?

    I see SimAudio Moon at Canadian dealers everywhere. Yet nothing but magazine reviews. No forum discussions. Are Sim owners the quietest people ever? I dont own any myself. Tried lots at the dealers. Very expensive and terrible resale value. So I wonder, how many actually own this stuff? Large...

    Hegel HD12

    After trying a few I finally got a unit which sounds pretty good. Hegel HD12 Sounds much nicer than my Oppo. Simple to use, not a bunch of buttons. Display is a little ugly but it shuts off easy enough. Still not throwing out my turntable but I think I can actually listen to digital on this...
