| speakers for classical music IMHO, Sonus Fiber and VA are from the same school. At your price point you should listen to both, IMHO. I, obviously, prefer VA, but I can see what others see in SF.Dave | |
| speakers for classical music Mrtennis, I'm surprised to hear someone that loves "classical" music that puts dynamics as the last priority. I too need correct timbre, or I can't listen. Still, classical music is BY FAR the most dynamic music in my wide ranging collection (abou... | |

| What Solid State PreAmp? Clio, exactly. I posed that question to Jeff when we visited his shop last week. The Critereon is his soon-to-be-released "statement" preamp. It will be battery powered.The Continuum 500 converts any AC to pure DC and the PC1 in front of his devic... | |
| Jeff Rowland Design Group -- Factory Tour Ok, your wish is my command. ;-)There are more pics up now:Soundings Blog | |
| speakers for classical music I love most kinds of music, but listen to tons of classical. (Symphonic, like Mahler's 6th last weekend, chamber, wind ensembles, solo piano, solo cello, etc.) I play trumpet in regional community orchestras and lead trumpet in a big band, as well... | |

| Jeff Rowland Design Group -- Factory Tour Ok, let me look around and find a few more. It may take a day or two because we will clear all with Jeff. (I cropped out a thing or two in the ones you saw).Dave | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Very nice description Dgad. Thanks for taking the time.Dave | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Mike, there's lots of good beer in Colorado. We'll have to find some and clear our ears.Yeah, I talked to Jonathan last night and he seems to be aiming for the next CES and then returning to RMAF in '09.Dave | |
| What Solid State PreAmp? The Jeff Rowland Design Group competes with all the preamps you've listed and only costs $2400. Look for the reviews around A'gon. It's too new for the paper mags.Dave | |

| Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings Guido, have you ended up keeping a PC1 in front of your Capri, or are you still undecided.A friend has two 501s with a PC1 for each and, after our visit to JRDG last week, he's getting in a Capri. We're thinking that he might be better to drive bo... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm 06-05-08: Coffeey said:"Bel Canto Red Dragon"Well, there you go. That's not even in the same league.The issue is not Class D or ICEpower, it's the designer. That's no different than in any other amplifier class.Dave |
