| Ultra high resolution Oh man, you made the sale for sure.Have I mentioned "Cannon Reloaded", an all star tribute to Cannonball Adderley on ConcordJazz? It's got Tom Scott and Terence Blanchard among others, but most impressive for me is Marcus Miller on electric bass. ... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier I brought it home today and plugged it in. It's too early to go into details, but, even before break-in, it bested the Conrad Johnson CA200 that it replaced. Immediately apparent is increased slam and detail in the bass and more silence in the qui... | |
| Ultra high resolution I've got several GRPs and all are well recorded. I'll order "A Twist..." next time I order CDs. I like Rit and Botti and GRP, so how can I go wrong.Dave | |
| Ultra high resolution Yeah, as you know, us trumpeters have a love/hate relationship with our soundmen. I actually worked a funk/rock/soul band for several years in Dallas that had TWO world class soundmen. One won and Emmy for sound and the other owns the original Jam... | |
| Ultra high resolution Chris, exactly.Dave | |
| Ultra high resolution Oh, a percussionist, no wonder... ;-) (Sorry, but I couldn't resist. I play trumpet and guitar, so you're welcome to come back with an appropriate rebuttal).It takes two to agree to disagree, but I do agree to disagree, for now.The case isn't clos... | |
| Ultra high resolution 04-24-08: Nilthepill said:"Details are definitely good to have and absolutely essential. It is the exaggerated details and thin, ill defined and scratchy 'tonal balance' of this details that I don't appreciate. Same goes w/ harmonics. Proper ' ton... | |
| SS Amp for natural vocals Well, that recording has been a favorite of mine since the 1980s. I "get it" and it will set you back in you seat, even with my old Bryston or my current Conrad Johnson CA200. I'll pull it out this weekend as part of my initial testing of the Cont... | |
| SS Amp for natural vocals Oh, Rafael, overnight I thought about your comment that RMS power ratings can be misleading and then you go on to quote some amp's ability to put out 3500 watts into .1 ohm for 500msec. Well, I'm thinking that instantaneous power is interesting to... | |
| Ultra high resolution Mrtennis has a problem with hearing how instruments actually sound. For some reason this makes him uncomfortable, but I can understand that. What I find disturbing is his insinuation that striving to hear those details results in an inferior syste... | |
| Ultra high resolution 04-23-08: Mrtennis said:"... "high resolution" does not match the experience of listening to live unamplified music."By definition, the higher the resolution, the closer to the live experience. You're saying the opposite. High resolution is superi... | |
| SS Amp for natural vocals I do know that the DALIs are very amp sensitive. I've now heard them with four amps and they sounded very different with each one.My friend, are you suggesting that the DALIs may drop below 1 ohm in the low frequencies? I'll ask Jeff Rowland of th... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier I'll come back to answer you question after I take delivery. I DO know that the speaker cable was the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8.Dave | |
| Ultra high resolution It's good design, good parts and careful assembly. Jeff Rowland Design Group has it all together.Dave | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Oops, I almost forgot to mention cosmetics. JRDG is known for their beautiful chassis and this is no different. In one word, it's "stunning". I'm getting the natural finish chassis which as a ¾” machined aluminum face plate. The sides and top have... |
