| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier 04-27-08: Guidocorona said:"You are correct Dave, what I wrote concerns the 500 model; furthermore the Continuum 250 does not incorporate a PFC circuit."I should mention that was part of my thought process in chosing the 500. It's around one-thous... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier 04-26-08: Guidocorona said:"Rafael, I can confirm that Continuum uses switching power supply(s). What I do not know is if it has one PS serving both channels or twin supplies. Continuum also has a PFC circuit capable of delivering 1500W of DC, whi... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier BTW, I put in 8-hours of listening today, 5 of which were focused and loud as the cuts played would dictate. I have no fatigue at all.I swapped out the stock power cord for Coincident Speaker Technologies CST-PC. The difference was very small. Whe... | |
| Ultra high resolution "Sizzle" is a trumpeting term and you used it exactly right. Are you a player? I am.Dave | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Switch-mode I think, consistant with the rest of Jeff's product line. See:http://www.jeffrowland.com/Technology/SwitchMode.htmUnfortunately, I have no direct literature to support it; however, his use of switch-mode in his other products, the high... | |
| Ultra high resolution There you go. The absolute first disk I pulled out after I brought my Pro-ject RM10 turntable home was Sheffield's "King James Version". That's the most realistic big band sound I've heard on recording, from the perspective of the conductor. Harry... | |
| Ultra high resolution Yeah, I love the Duke Homage album. I've had it a long time. Thanks for mentioning it.Dave | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Interesting. There's no standby mode on the Continuum, so it's staying all the way on, all the time.I sat down today and started serious listening with no wait. I'll pay closer attention tomorrow, to see how it changes over the first hour. I didn'... | |
| How to evaluate amps that are not broken in? This is what dealers are for; good ones have burned-in examples of the things that they sell. Lacking that, perhaps you live in West Texas, then it is correct to assume that components will only get better with burn-in; however, some really outsta... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade from Analysis Plus Oval 12 Have you considered the A-P Solo Crystal Oval 8s or do you want to change brands? Cardas has some great cables also.Dave | |
| Ultra high resolution Hah, I ordered "Twist of Motown" this morning, plus another Grusin album and a Ritenour.I agree with your bi-amping, but think it's guilding the lilly in many cases. My speaker crossover doesn't allow either bi-amp or bi-wire, so it's a mute point... | |
| Do I really want the musicians in my room? Aggielaw, at least you've recognized that your needs can change from day-to-day and there are no absolutes. Adding to the confusion is that several of us with the same point of view might have several systems made up of totally different component... | |
| Do I really want the musicians in my room? The OP has a "high class problem".Personally I err toward total resolution and let my mood determine how I interpret the recordings. Some days I sit there and think, "I wish they'd used a used a different mic on Blanchard's trumpet" or "I wish the... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier I don't remember seeing an XLR on the back of my modded Pioneer universal player, but I'll look again. Right now I'm using a Pro-ject Tube Box SE phono-pre for vinyl, but Rod and I started talking about trying Jeff's phono card in the Continuum, w... | |
| Ultra high resolution Ok, I just brought home my "hi rez" Rowland Continuum amp yesterday. (No wimpy tubes for me, but 1000 watts of pure sound filled the bill). The "Drum Record" will be coming off the shelf again this afternoon. (Also, that kick drum is a great way t... |
