| Tube Preamp for Rowland 8Ti I like the CAT sig or ultimate with the Model 8. My 8/Sig combo sounds like they were made for each other. IMHO. | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic In the old days I had Maggies and also Acoustat 3's ( modded with better caps etc) changed over to Hales Sig 2's and have never looked back. When it comes to dynamics, stat's and planars just lag IMHO. Once you hear a great dynamic speaker, the li... | |
| Zoethecus amp stand The zoethecus amp stand is a nice addition if you are looking for an amp stand.Mine replaced a sound anchor, which is also good, but the zoethecus is a great piece. | |
| Hales System II Signature Help Sought. Sknnyc, I'm afraid I do not know were you can replace the spikes, however, I have tried both Harmonix footers and Black Diamond racing cones under the Sig's and they both work well.The Footers especially are a good way to go. | |
| Anyone upgrade a Jeff Rowland Model 8 Cornfedboy, one of the interesting things about these upgrades is that I am unsure that all are worth while. I have only heard the dual mono upgrade(transformer) and this was actually a step backwards IMHO. The dynamics of the amp was severly redu... | |
| Anyone upgrade a Jeff Rowland Model 8 Cornfedboy, I am familiar with the upgrades, however, I am wondering if anybody has actually done these and what the results are? | |

| Impedance loading low-output MC cartridges... Played around with my Benz Ruby 11 extensively, This cartidge seems to like 700 ohms. At 47K it looses a little bit of dimensionality and top end extension. Also ,the sound stage is a little less wide.So with a great resistor like Vishays, 700k is... | |
| switching from Tubes to SS bRAD, i WENT FROM TUBED AMPS( MELOS AND THEN AUDIO RESEARCH) TO MY CURRENT jEFF ROWLAND. THE TUBE AMPS ARE A LITTLE MORE ROMANTIC. BUT THE ROWLAND HAS IT OVER THEM IN EVERY OTHER WAY. PLUS A LOT LESS HEAT, FAR MORE RELIABLE AND YOU NEVER WANDER WH... | |
| Hales signature 2's. Doctor b wondering what you replaced them with? Why?Must be pretty special, as they are hard to beat. | |
| Which speakers would be a good upgrade in a small Thanks everyone for your input. I will definitely try and hear the Eire's and the Gradients.The Aerius is a speaker that I have had extensive experience with, since I owned a pair. They are nice but I now prefer dynamic drivers to electro's. Just ... | |
| Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE Agree with you Mcne. I recently heard the Red Rose R3's and they were thin, shrill and obviously cut of several different cloths. Very un-impressive indeed. Could have been the set-up--but? This probably tells you that a home audition is a must wh... | |
| Hales System II Signature BTW I just looked up the efficiency in my Hales manual and the sig's are 87db efficient. Also according to the manual they use Cardas golden section internal cableing. | |
| Hales System II Signature Anyone consider bi-amping the sig's. I am considering bi-amping with the rowland model 8 on the woofers and some kind of tube amp on the tweets, any suggestions? | |
| Hales System II Signature I heard my Sig 11's today with the REL sub. This is a match made in heaven.The Sig 11's really cook.Earlier, I had heard the same sub with a pair of Verity Pasifals, and the Sig's just blew the Verities away in a biiiig way. Both set up's were dri... |
