| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland I heard a rumor the 300 series Levinson amps are getting another upgrade soon. If so a "current" 334 owner will have to get the factory mod to "latest" status. This will be I believe $2000.00? I think that's what it cost the first time for the 333... | |

I still remember reading that BOSE went after Thiel & actually stopped them from using the decimal point in their 2.2 speaker. Would anyone have dreamed BOSE could copyright the decimal point?!

| Would using RCA to XLR conectors screw up sound? This is a constant topic of debate among local audiophiles here in Phoenix. I own a Rowland Model 2 amplifier. It is fully balanced & has ONLY balanced inputs. I do have balanced to single ended (RCA) adapters, that allow me to use it with pre... | |
