Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
G, So that we are clear, I am NOT questioning the pricing of the Daemon or the system that i last heard it in. IF these prices are accepted by the high end audio consumer, then I would say that these meet a market demand, if not...well that speaks... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
@sciencecop thanks for that...very informative and very assumptive. Great post. Sorry my prior post hurt your very tender and sensitive feelings. 
Neotech NC-P313 vs. Furutech FI-28 Plugs
I think it may help to put this a little into context. IMO, while the Furutech plugs are superior to the Wattgate’s, the Wattgate’s are still a respectable plug and in many cases, depending on the cable and the cable manufacturer’s skill and abili... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
@smodtactical I have heard the Magico M2. I thought it was a little thin sounding, particularly in comparison to other competing speakers in the same price range. The imaging was ok, but again I think it can be bettered by other speakers at or bel... 
Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
Mike, you brought up an interesting point...better bearings. IME, this is actually what matters more than the drive type. I think this attribute is one of the most overlooked aspects of turntable design, and yet I think it is one of the most impor... 
Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II
Sonja vs Magico M...I would probably go with Sonja...depending on room size and which Sonja model. Magico M's are a little bit of a one trick pony at that price point, IME. The big Sonja 2.3's or the XV's are pretty special, albeit with their imme...

G..SOLD your Vinyl collection and table...yikes! I have a lot of friends who also did this, some never looked back...and some...cried. I'm hoping you fall into the former category.This thread reminded me of the last time I heard Daemon...it was ma... 
amp hiss impact on speakers
@almarg   Intersting post. On my ss amp, if i listen very closely to the tweeter, even with the amp in the off mode( which in this amps case still is actually in the stand by mode...unless it is actually unplugged from the wall) I can also hear th... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
G. Glad that you got hear what Nordost can do. Albeit with other gear. Nonetheless, the Valhalla V2 is a very fine cable and certainly capable of resolving what the Jeff Rowland products can do.BTW, I may have missed this, but are you planning on ... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
G, Thanks for the update. I did not know that Jeff recommends letting caps discharge periodically. Although this makes a lot of sense, IMO.BTW, you may want to try another brand of cabling besides Cardas...as I had mentioned before. Cardas has a h... 
DartZeel CTH-8550 vs PS Audio BHK 300 Mononlocks
For the measurements crowd, no matter what the sound is like, the eyes looking at measurement will always override the ears listening to sounds.I remember the old Halcro amps that measured like a dream...and sounded well...:0(On another forum i wa... 
Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30
Mario, I’m not sure I know what you mean by "sing and fly" because my GH’s worked amazingly well with my D70mk2. Your Classic 30 isn’t quite as much power, but most likely has similar headroom.Another option..a pair of Quads..would sound very nice... 
Perfect speakers for audio Research Classic 30
IMO, this isn't a forum to discuss politics.So, to the OP, firstly glad to hear that your area of the country is less impacted. As to the speakers to audition with your very nice ARC Classic 30 ( I like this amp a lot, as I used to own a D70Mk2 an... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
G.. I will wait with anticipation as you your findings of 925 vs Daemon.I suspect i already know the differences, but will wait for you to confirm.Another thing that I have found with Jeff's amps, is that they also benefit greatly from having a de... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
G great to hear that the new Daemon is delivering the goods. This is no surprise to me. Last night i had a long listening session with my modded 8T and once again confirmed that it really is a very special amp. I have heard a number of ss amps in ...
