| Narrow tuner. eBay an older KLH tuner that is shaped like a box there should be lots of them there. They came in a tube format when they were new, and a retube and alignment should provide outstanding sound. Or, a restored Dynaco FM-3. | |
| Hometheaterphile The icing---, a McIntosh MHT-100 HT system. Awesome. Smooth, detailed, competant, and just about eternal. | |

| What's Better - Denon 2900 or Sony NS999es? Why? Unless you A/B them, its hard to tell. I own the Sony and use it for DVD and multi-channel SACD and it's fantastic. Best digital performer I've ever had, especially in so many areas. Superb DACs. It's in the HT system. I use a Musical Fidelity Tri... | |

The EV Patrician speakers were there as was a JBL Pa... | |
| Theta Delta Basic II Transport Opinions. Art, I use a common Sony 200 disc CD mega changer's optical output with my Tri-Vista 21 DAC and am happy with it. I may borrow a transport from the local Audio Salon and see how it works. Enjoy your '21! | |
| best ic's and speaker cables for totem mani-2 I use the Analysis Plus Silver speaker cables and they are great. Use Johnson Audio interconnects. Enjoy your Mani-2s! | |
| REL Setup I have the 108 too and I placed the sub with the woofer facing up. That helped get rid of the boominess and tightened things up a bit. | |
| Matching preamp for Pass Labs Aleph 5 I am using one with a Proceed PRE and am quite happy with the pair. I rotate the Pass out and also use a ARC VT-100 and the PRE works fine with that too. I use the balanced connections on the PRE with both the Pass and the VT. | |
| Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K You've got to listen to the Totem Acoustic mani-2 speakers | |
| Sony jukebox CDP-CX400: Can it sound good? The 1s and 0sare not lo-fi, I run a 200 disc Sony CD changer via Toslink into a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista-21 DAC and its great. Read the current issue of SF regarding this DAC. | |
