| Jeff Rowland 501s and PC1s I saw some Cardas, but I thought there was something else. I'm checking with someone else that was there.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s and PC1s Clavil, I'll see what I can find out. I assume you mean JRDG when you say JFR, right? I saw his ICs when I was down there, but the memory is foggy. I'll try to verify. Keep in mind, he doesn't pay for those kinds of things, usually. He'll barter w... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s and PC1s Interesting news about a new JRDG pre-amp. I didn't see that when I was there a few months ago. I'll be there again in a few weeks and we'll ask Jeff about it. (I wouldn't be surprised if that's just wishful thinking by the dealer).It is possible.... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Yes, by Friday night I'll probably be head over heels. I look into the Barolo, but if that's not available the Querceto Reserva Classico is amazing. I think we'll need more than one bottle... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Keep it turned on all the time. If you turn it off it takes an hour or two to get back to peak performance. | |
| Amp burn in time..just being on or music played? You accelerate the benefit by playing music, even at a very low level.

| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Yes Mike, it's clear that Neli and Mike are trying to put together the best systems that they can. Their demo equipment is in several relatively high volume rooms, but with some odd shapes walls. The main room has a very high ceiling with a huge b... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? I'm glad you asked Mrtennis.If musicality is accurately recorded and played back well it's accurate and musical. Where did the idea that they're mutually exclusive come from???Dave | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Well good. I guess it's safe to assume that it'll be at the RMAF since Rowland will be sharing the room with Soundings.Dave |
