| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? If I bought a Krell KAV piece with a transferrable warranty, I'd consider the warranty to be an integral part of the purchase. Now that Krell (and others) have "retroactively" dropped their transferrable warranty, I do believe someone will eventua... | |
| Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor? Most people believe this is done to discourage internet sales. I believe this will backfire. Who will but a multi-thousand dollar piece with no transferrable warranty? No matter how much you like the piece, some audiophiles are always changing gea... | |
| Question on 2 channel vs 5 channel amps ? I have the current Sherbourn 5 channel amp in my video. I tried my Aragon 4004MKII for the RH & LH front channels. It did seem to sound a little better all over. It should, it cost as much as the Sherbourn when it was new. The Sherbourn has 5 ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions It depends on your pre-amp. If you have a truly balanced pre-amp like a Pass X series or an Adcom GFP750, it should sound better balanced. If you have a pre-amp that just adds balanced inputs & immediately uses a converter to deliver to a sing... | |

| Pass Aleph series with Apogee?? I use the Aleph 2s to drive my Mini Grands. The Mini Dax does roll off all the frequencies below 80 hertz. The Alephs drive the panels in this arrangement with no problems, I'm using an Adcom GFP750 for my pre-amp..... | |
| CDP with volume control Sony XA7ES. It's their last flagship non-SACD player before the SACD players came out. Around $1000.00 used. | |
| Warranty Misconceptions I'm constantly seeing the same things you mention, especially on e:Bay. I'll see a Mark Levinson 331, 332, or 333 advertised with "remainder of factory warranty". And how many years out of production are these?As far as the high end companies who'... | |
| Review: Onkyo M-508 Amplifier I had the baby brother M-504. It was bulletproof. I finally sold it to change to Adcom & Parasound. I liked everything except the binding posts-they won't accept spades. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Wow!Lots of activity on this thread! I use my Model 2 with a Pass Aleph P pre-amp or my Adcom GFP 750 pre-amp, or the way I currently use it-with the variable out on my Sony XA7ES player directly into the amp. Yes, Rowland & Pass make expensiv... | |
| To Bridge or Bi-amp Klipsch speakers w/ Crver Amps If you bridge the amps, you'll cut the damping factor in half. I'd go with bi-amping, it should give better bass control...These speakers are probably so efficient, you may not hear a difference, but bridging can also raise the noise floor..I'd tr... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Rowland & Pass are both coming out with new amplifiers. So I'm sure at least some sellers of both are moving to the new pieces. With respect to Tater's comment, come on, mention one name brand you think sounds better. This is a chat room! At l... | |
| Aleph 3 versus Cary CAD 50MKII on Thiel CS1.6 I think you should try a pair of Aleph 2s on your Thiels.I'm sure an Aleph 3 will drive them, but you should remember that Class A solid state has NO headroom. When you over-drive the Aleph 3 your speakers will not be happy!I own a pair of Aleph 2... | |
| Upgrade from Adcom GFP-750? You definitely like your Adcom. I think you'll like an Aleph P even more-the Adcom has a circuit design by Nelson Pass, the Aleph P is an all Pass Labs design.I'm selling my GFP-750 & tomorrow I'll install my Pass Aleph P. It will stay in my s... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check As long as an internet purchase in another state is cheaper because of the sales tax advantage, local dealers will be at a disadvantage. I buy used on Audiogon & e:Bay. I also buy new & used from my local dealers. I know them well enough, ... |
