| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Well, I agree Pinkus, people looking for "full bodied" sound should probably look elsewhere than JRDG. I seek "neutral" and find it in JRDG's current stuff. I've got a number of great recordings with rich mids, extended highs and slam in the bass ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Pre with Pass Labs X350.5 or X600.5 Rowland calls the Capri "basic" for a reason. Alas, the Criterion has all the bells and whistles, but it's going to be $18k.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Pinkus, I think I saw one of the new Ayre chassis when I was visiting the Vertec Tool machine shop with Jeff Rowland. Very nice indeed. Hopefully all the Ayre chassis will be upgraded, getting away from that cut and folded metal.I'd love to see so... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Well Macrojack, the specs of the Continuum are very good, but I suspect that many others amps have comparable raw specs.I think many of us DO indeed try to state our preferences in our reviews. All the JRDG stuff that I've heard lean toward open, ... | |
| Anti-Cable IC's YMMV is certainly the word with unshielded cables. Where RFI is not strong they can really be nice, in other cases they can be horrible.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm 06-01-08: Pinkus said:"Dave,don't want to rain on your parade."Thanks, but don't worry, I don't need your validation.I'm looking forward to your thoughtful review.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm 06-01-08: Pinkus said:"If you think Rowland is good...wait till you hear Ayre. No need to spend big bucks...try their AX-7E. I say this after hearing the Capri and Synergy 2i. Actually I owned both the Synergy 2i and Capri. The Ayre smacked both t... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Some of us like vanilla and some of us like chocolate.I'm glad there are choices in the world. We're talkiing about integrated here, BTW.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm 06-01-08: Facias said:"I am too, very excited about getting my new amplifier. I am trying to be just little prudent about it since the continuum is so new and there is no information even on the company's website. That's all."Oh, so you already or... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm 06-01-08: Coffeey said:"Send one to hi fi critic and see what they say about it."LOL.Imagine all the poor audiophiles out there that don't listen for themselves and actually build systems off those dweebs' advice.Dave | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD Budt, it's hard to disagree with your ranking. Maybe I've never owned a "bad" preamp, but I'd reverse source and preamp, but otherwise agree.The amp can come up right behind the speakers, depending on the speakers. Some, like the DALIs and Vienna ... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Resend your email and give it a few days. Jeff checks his email once or twice per week. You can also call during business hours (probably more reliable).Just curious, if you don't mind, why would you care?Dave | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic Dgad, of course I've listened to horns.You seem sold, so go ahead. I still doubt that your Wilsons are in their optimal positions.I thought your were asking for advice and now that I re-read you OP I see that you may have already made up your mind... | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm BTW, welcome to A'gon.Dave | |
| Jeff Rowland's Continumm Facias, I'm not sure what "module" you're speaking of. All the amplifiers that you mentioned contain ICEpower modules, some also have Power Factor Correction. The Continuum 500 has the power units as the 501s. It has PFC units, but not the same on... |
