| Do I have enough power? Rossbernstein-Yeah, I figured out my misread shortly after my post. What is it exactly about the Mani's that you find yourself not sold on? Just curious. At times I have issues with them, other times they're just perfect. That's very likely no dif... | |
| Do I have enough power? I think Bdgregory is right, the answer is....maybe. I was driving my Mani-2's with a Cary CAD-120S Mkii which was putting out a rated 120 per into 8ohms and it sounded wonderful, perhaps a little "loose" in the low end for the bass heavy Mani's, b... | |
| Past Wyred4Sound STI owners I've owned a W4S STI-500 for a bit more than two years, which I purchased to drive a pair of power hungry Totem Mani-2s. I've switched to driving them with tubes, currently Rogue M-180s. I decided for the while not to sell the W4S, but to use it a... | |
| great speaker buys on Craigslist What? Email louder. I can't hear you. | |
| Vertical Audio Rack for Tube Equipment? Hi Carolyn,I use a a 6 shelf vertical rack made by BDI, model Icon 9422. Four of the glass shelves are two position adjustable, but the largest clearance attainable is 10-3/4 inches, and you will not be able to get that on all, only two I think. T... | |
| Cambridge Audio products unreliable/unsupported? Two years ago, my Cambridge Audio 840C CD Player experienced a failure when it was just a little more than a month out of warranty. I called my dealer who contacted CA's service department which, at that time, was in Canada. They repaired the unit... | |
| Opinions & guidance needed with turntable upgrade. oops...that should have read 33 year old not 43.Mechans... I didn't say it but I am very attached to the Yamaha and would never consider parting with it. It is a dear, dear friend. I should have not used the word "replacement". Supplement would ha... | |
| " Great Jazz Clint " As an audiophile I will forever have the desire to attain an approximation of truth coming from both the right and left channels. Without giving away my personal leanings, I believe it safe to say that in todays climate of political vitriol, bo... | |
| Ayre, wow Hi Ari-I had a long, mostly enjoyable search for the right amp/pre-amp combo for my Mani-2's. I finally settled in, very enjoyably, with a Cary CAD-120S Mkii and a Rogue 99 pre. As you probably are aware, the Mani's are quite power hungry. I audit... | |
| To Power Down, or Not to Power Down Polk432-My unit was manufactured as a MKII, not an upgrade, but in the end I don't think there should be any differences between the two. I would think that Cary would do everything to make them indistinguishable from one another, but a call to th... | |
| Amp and speaker matching. I run a pair of Totem Mani-2's (4ohm/85db) and had previously auditioned them with several tube amps. The closest to what you're thinking would have been a Jolida 502B (60W rated/85W max) There were a couple of others, a Prima Luna Dialogue 2 and ... | |
| Can I Degauss my vinyl ? I must be missing something here. How can vinyl become magnetized? Statically charged I can understand, but magnetized? Degaussing is the process of reducing or eliminating a magnetic charge. Vinyl, being non-ferrous, should not be able to become ... | |
| Audiogon sellers, please stop and read this thread First thing first....what was the name of the Buyer? Audiogon should be notified immediately so they can remove his Buyer status and hopefully, all future usernames coming from his email account. I know this easy to work around, but A'gon should s... | |
| guitar solos where less is more Robbie Robertson's live solo on Unfaithful Servant from The Band's Rock of Ages should not be missed nor left off this list. It is short, but oh so sweet. It is brilliant. Check it out and let us know what you think. | |
| Pwr Cord Upgrade for PS Audio Pwr Plant Premiere? I appreciate and value your comments. Well maybe not so much value for Jdoris :) I'm running a dedicated 20 amp circuit with hospital grade outlets. Elizabeth, it would seem my power feed is a bit cleaner than yours, incoming is 2.2%, outgoing 0.4... |
