Simple is best!

Description

 American tube technology with the wonderful lively sound of well crafted Canadian speakers. An over powerful system for the bedroom, and a system to last a lifetime! Who says Tubes are not enough power for totems. This system proves them all wrong! It started over 8 years ago with a little cary audio SLI-80. Then got a huge deal on 2x Cary CAD-120s and traded my integrated for a Cary SLP-98p, and no regrets. Plans for an upgrade to Totem Element Earths from the forests!

I love your system. Though not in vogue anymore Cary is one of my favorite brands.

My dealer let me try/demo the totem element metal. There is no going back to the forests or any other speaker period! The metal speakers made my system so good. I felt like I died and go to heaven! lol I could tell why Cary Audio had win sound of the show with these speakers! Though I don't have the $$$ for them right now.

The Solid Tech gear is nice though!

Dump the Totems the whole lineup sucks! Had the Winds for 3 days just as bad as the Von Sweikert vr4se"s which I had to dump after a week!

Hi Jake. Nice setup. I just got the Solidtech racking as well. I went with the Hybrid. If your looking for black tower pillars I ordered 4 more than I needed. I am in Canada as well. I may be looking to sell them.

I noticed you have a plexi-glass cover on your TT platter. It looks like one of Dannys from Luna. Is it so? He gave me one as well.

Worth every penny though I got the most biggest results with the feet of silence. I also got mine second hand so want I to buy black pillars. Since you can get the stand in all black.

Nice equipment, and laid out well the best I can see. Like that stand; always thought of getting one, but never did. What are your thoughts on it?
