| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I would like to see a photograph of the Criterion surrounded by the "most beautiful women in the World", the ones straight from the streets of Rio. I am sure Jeff would like to have a shot like that as well. That would be some carnival! :-) | |
| Jeff Rowland preamps Dstpep. LOL. It is rather self explanatory. Once you calibrate your system (in this case balance as a subject) one will experience a difficulty bringing back the same channels volume values. Use your imagination to create such scenarios. I like th... | |
| Jeff Rowland preamps Dcstep, for a number of reasons. When inadvertently pressing balance on the remote, it will require a reset, a fairly easy method, but one that must be remembered. The other problem is system calibration and back value setting, which in this case ... | |
| Jeff Rowland preamps Guido, since it appears that you have good communication with Jeff Rowland, has anything been done or is planned to fix the balance display situation?I really like the Capri, I still have a second silver unpacked unit, but as hard it is to disagre... | |
| Small integrated Try something a bit more fun and modular. Look at the small Grace Design 902M + let's say a 102 from Jeff Rowland. The 902 is a great DAC with every digital input you may ever want including USB, it is also a phenomenal reference headphone amplifi... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Guido, it was the Grace remote and I just happened to call JR on another issue.. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre There is balance reset method in your manual. The other, lets call it interesting, thing about the remote itself is that it stops working sometimes and there is a simple fix. Strangely, I have a Grace Design 902 from Mike Grace, an ex employee at ... | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions Looks like Yamaha 70/80s styling. Perhaps it sounds great, but the beautiful design of the 390 is gone to a boring box. At this price level I would have to set this up next to a number units before acquisition. I am suspicious and would have to pl... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre As for the Capri (I have to ask Jeff again about this) you still cannot display the balance situation. My hands have not touched the Criterion, but it appears that Jeff employed the slightly larger M&Ms. Then there is yet another element rapid... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I agree that the Rowland product is somewhat tamed and my comment pertaining to fashion was a general one addressed to the marketplace as a whole.Then again, if you go for the right feel, the switches on the JRDG are in my view too small and oddly... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Guido, I am sorry to hear, or rather read about your handicap! You are most likely correct about the possibility of modifying via firmware. Dave, that's exactly the other issue of not being able to assign custom names to sources in the Capri situa... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I was not able to read all posting, so I apologize if this is redundant. One fairly practical design element that is often so annoying in other brands and components and used only by few other manufacturers is the dot matrix display. It is curious... | |
| Marantz SA-11S1 and transport noise. No noise whatsoever in my machine. Both my SA14v2 and the SA11-S1 are quiet. Great units. | |
| Marantz SA-8260--low output and fuzzy bass??? I too have recently purchased the SA14v2 and am now playing withy the idea of 8620 for multichannel application. However, never would I dispose of the SA14, but perhaps add another milti channel source to it! As one of the respondents above, I hav... | |
| Problems with U.S. Customs - Watch Out Contrary to your many comments excusing the system, the reality is a bit different. The FDA has nothing better to do but screw with people much like the communists. 2 years ago I was entered into the FDA data base at LAX as a "salami smuggler" on ... |
