| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? I gave the OP a bit more thought, and reflected on what I wrote a 'few' posts back - - the original question, summarized, was "have you been disappointed by the high end" - or another way to read it is 'was the dollars worth it'. So...buried in my... | |
| Has anyone made the jump to $uper High end and were disappointed? It's been fun reading some of the comments - only I think 2 people have answered the OP with actual examples (Thank you @joey_v )I have "ventured" into a land far higher-end that I thought. In fact...I was in the camp of what some might consider ... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric @gdhal Thanks for the heads up - though I will state my -205 was "absolutely" set as 'Brick Wall' as default when I set it up. At the time (quite a few months ago) there was nothing on the 'net about filters, filter setups, and any reviews on them... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? I'd like to know what you think, @firstgrowth . @jonasandezekiel , I hope you take advantage of the return policy from Oppo and find a place to with the same return policy on the Marantz. I think think the only way to decide is to spend some time... | |
| Oppo Vs Esoteric I've only seen a couple responses here answering the OP - comparing a Oppo "205". The 205 is a very different beast than previous Oppos. I wish I could say I've compared the 205 to an Esoteric, but I can't. I do, however, own a -205 as my dedicate... | |
| Crazy to buy a 17 year old CD Player? I just received my (new) Oppo 205. Balanced outputs via Cardas cables into my Jeff Rowland gear. It is well beyond my expectations. Honestly - and SACD's and DVD-A sound great - I'm most impressed by CD playback. It makes me question the higher re... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Great thread! I saw the title "broke my class D".... and I had to chime in, both for some self-therapy, (since I had two class D's crater. UGH) as well as a warning (and, Todd - we don't live too far away from each other, so I'm going to guess our... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I would also like to hear someone chime in and give thier thoughts on the differences between the ICEpower ASP modules (like what is in my JRDG 501's) and the current crop of NCore modules. I'm really not looking to upgrade, but would like to hear... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Not many Jeff Rowland owners have chimed in (Guido, aside). I have the (older, yet updated) 501 Mono's. The ICEpower modules inside have been taken from and early revision to the (presumably) latest (Rev J) as I bought them from Jeff in January (r... | |
| Amps/Preamps for Rockport Aviors Larry,I'm friends with Phil (philb7777) and have heard his system (in the pre Rockport days - with Avalons) and the current Cygnus' with his ARC gear. It's a stunning combo (the ARC and the Rockports (heck, so were the Avalons!)). My suggestion wo... | |
| Class D = Trash? I may be able to add a very slight addition, to the volumes written here. Leave them on, or at least let them warm up well-longer than you'd expect for a solid state piece of gear. LIke, a couple hours. Think of tubes x2.I'm a Jeff Rowland 501-pai... | |
| Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years I'm going to keep this simple: it says loads that Mat responded, much less took (quite a bit of time on a holiday weekend) to explain the realities of small business ownership. Should he have to explain himself? Nope, but integrity was being quest... | |
| Confessions from a VPI owner of some 30 years ....and with that, Merry Christmas :) | |
| What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers? ...ok... my comment "TV sound upgrade" totally minimizes what it is. Geez. | |
| What do you think of soundbars compared to speakers? jetter - I have the Martin Logan Vision Ultimate. I think it is still available, or at least a similar, more modern version. I bought a factory refurb unit from Audio Advisor for about 1/2 of the MSRP (and what Magnolia was charging) of $1499. I s... |
