Thoughts on Rowland Model 2?
I believe the newer JRDG amps are much better than their older versions. With the newer switching power supply, it retains the musical and warmth of the older amps with dynamic and speed. 
AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it
I think I might know why some of the players are not playing the CD-Rs. You have to wait for the player to load and onces it show the total track time on the display then press play. If you put in a CD-R and press play right away it show a error m... 
AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it
Yes, I do run it direct. My CD-Rs are pretty cheap from Sony and Promedia, I burn it at 4x, and 16x on my Dell Computer and they all play find. Will burn-in change the sound of the player dramaticly? Right now am at around 20 hrs. 
AA Capitole MKII/ CD Burner to use with it
I received my Capitole MKII last week and it plays all of my CD-Rs perfectly find. Does anyone notice you have to turn the volume control (85 percent of the total volume) pretty high up to listen?

AZ Satori - Jumper cables or "Gun" biwired?
I also called Acoustic Zen a while back. Robert Lee (great guy to talk to) said that the Satori Shotguns would be recommended for anything more than a 2 way speaker even over his new Hologram cables with Jumpers. MotdathirdDid he happened to tel... 
Acoustic Zen
My Satori Shotguns just came, can't really give a review on it. Before I bought the cables, I called to talk to Robert Lee, one of the nicest guys I ever talk to...if you have any questions he'll answer. It's surprising all the inside info that he... 
used Revel Salon vs. used Wilson Watt Puppy6???
I never heard the Wilsons, but I do own the Salon which is a great pair of speakers in my opinion, much better than the Revel Studios that I used to own. The Wilsons are not really that Amp friendly even tho they're rated at 91db sensitivity as sh... 
Best CD player directly to Amp?
Is that the new Aero Capitole everyone is recommending or it's the old one? The other option for me is to keep the Pass X-1 and buy a Sony SCD-XA777ES. Which do you think is a better route? Thanks for you advices so far. 
Revel Salon/Studio Owners What setup do you use?
I used to have the Revel Studios and a Rowland 10 did pretty good with a Pass Lab X-1 Pre. Now I'm back in the market, probably for the Revel Salons. Can anyone express their opinion as to how much better is he Revel Salon over the Revel Studios. ... 
Jeff Rowland Amps?
So I'm guessing most people are agreeding that JRDG is pretty much worth the price. Another question would be....let say a JRDG amp is Rate at 100 watts compare to a 300 watt Adcom, which will drive a 86 db sensitive speaker better? Are there more... 
Acoustic Treatment or Cable Upgrades?
Where can I find used ASC or Echobusters...Can't ever seem to find them on Audiogon. 
PreAmp for Revel Studio with Rowland 10?
I was planning on getting the Synergy II, but heard the older Rowland Coherence was better but they're hard to come by in the used market. Just want to be open to more options. Thanks to everyone that replied.
