Records

Alright... I feel that there is plenty of room for all formats. Vinyl, CD, SACD, DVDA, etc..(just no mp3!!!)

but ive spent the past couple weeks listening to a lot of vinyl, (my buddy(just came back from california after living there for 10 years and touring with a very, very well known "jam" band) who just checked himself into rehab(Heroin/Opiates) and told me to look after his records. He has a lot of great stuff!!

anyway..

Totem Wind Design

Totem Wind Design

Totem's Vince Bruzzese was happy to tell me about the Wind Design, an enhanced version of the company's flagship floorstander. It uses a "skid plate" decoupling system with a front "claw" which is user-adjustable to complement the phase interactions between the speaker and various associated electronics. Totem strives to create loudspeakers that will mate happily with all sorts of associated equipment, and today they were making music with an Arcam FMJ disc player and Bryston amplification.

Until the Recording Industry Association of America hit the headlines in recent years with its antipiracy campaign, the initials RIAA meant one thing to seasoned audiophiles: the vinyl-disc equalization characteristic introduced in the 1950s to standardize what had previously been an anarchy of different EQs. Three decades later, as CD gained ascendance, a large proportion of audiophiles still knew what RIAA equalization was, and a good number of them had some idea or better of what the RIAA EQ curve looked like, and why it was applied.
