| Rowland service That's a good point, Aolmrd241. Perhaps there's only one Jeff! | |
| Best Subwoofer for Quad 2805 under $5k Depending on room size, I would recommend a REL T5. Very fast sub which works great with my SF GH's and I'm sure will work great with Quads. | |
| Rowland service Aolmrd1241...i guess it's going to be Jeff's apprentice, LOL.However, let's get serious now, how many amps do you know of where the original designer is still willing to work on the piece after so many years?I do think this says a lot about Jeff a... | |
| Rowland service Brandon contacted me today as well. Apparently, only Jeff himself is able to work on the older classic designs....I'm pretty impressed. I'm greatly looking forward to hearing from Jeff again. | |
| Rowland service I contacted Rowland through their web portal and am also waiting for a reply. However, it does state clearly that they will take up to five(5) business days to get back to you. I am now at my fourth business day...so we shall see. | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Grimace, so that we are all on the same page...how did you "listen" to the Nagra jazz pre-amp? For example...at a distance of...fill in the blank here. With music playing, without music playing, etc,. | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Err Ralph, when I started the thread, i was actually talking about both phono and line stages; however, it quickly became evident that the phono stage is more of a factor. BUT, I think that Tube Line stages seem to suffer from the same problems, p... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Wingate were some great amps. Versa Dynamics and Kiseki cartridges..although I hear someone has resurrected them. Highwire cables. ( seems like a lot of cable Co's come and go like the wind!) TG audio. Are Audible Illusions still going? | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Trumweiller, please thank Ken from me. Ken's response was very illuminating and educational. I do agree that the noise from my CAT is quite minimal. I have rolled in tubes into both stages....NOS Mullards into the Line stage and NOS GE long plates... | |
| which SS power amp for CAT SL1 Renaissance Masilu, I use a Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke with my modded CAT Sig. Works like, and sounds like, they were made for each other. You might try one of Jeff's newer amps...the 625, or better still-- and depending on budget, the 825. IMHO, Jeff ma... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, thank you. I was beginning to believe that my tube phono section was faulty...same with the preamp. Particularly after reading some of the other posts on this thread. BUT, I kind of figured that some of these examples aren't all tube phono ... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, is it possible to make a tubed phono section without a SUT that is noiseless? | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? I'm not sure that any high gain tube preamp and phono stage will sound completely quiet when the gain is turned up and there is no music playing. I have never heard such a piece. OTOH, I do agree that so long as the tube noise doesn't appear to be... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, that's interesting. I do use a fairly low output MC. However, I am hearing noise not when music is playing, BUT when it isn't. So, by lifting the arm of the record and increasing the gain, I do hear tube rush...which lead me to my OP. Are y... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? In my instance, the tube noise is through my phono stage, however, the line stage also exhibits some noise. The tubes are rolled in NOS from Kevin at Upscale and are supposedly the lowest noise he stocks! They do sound great, BUT they are audible ... |
