| Best tube pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ? Wc65mustang: I´ve heard a lot of good things about the Supratek Cortese. Do you think it equals the Converget SL-1 Ultimate´s performance or the Hovland HP-100 ? | |
| Jeff Rowland Concerto Pre + Phono option Thanks for your response. As I had a JRDG Concentra II which I found quite cool - although it was a heavily modified unit - I switched to Ayre V-5Xe (even greater unit) and run my Audio Aero Cap. II directly into the power amp. But as I still list... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Has anybody experienced the new Jeff Rowland Concerto pre with phono option? | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Topox.. no, I´haven´t so far as this will be beyond my financial boundaries (I suppose). | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Kurt, fortunately my Lyra cartridge is already fully broken in. But as I currently have no preamp, my turntable (a beautiful Transrotor) just shines in beautiful chrome from my rack. As you use Koetsu I assume that you use an Audiocraft AC 4400 to... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed thanks so far for yur input. I´m not sure if I´m really a tube lover. Currently I run my Audio Aero Capitole MK II directly into my Ayre V-5X evolution power amp - and to be honest - my Rowland Concentra II + Accuphase DP-67 combo was much better.... | |
| Sonical differences btw. Concentra II and Concert As you all are experienced Rowland users: is the model 10 still a better performer than the model 201 ? Does anyone of know the company Chapter Audio?cheers, | |
| Sonical differences btw. Concentra II and Concert yes. I´ve just bought an Audio Aero Capitole MK II SE. This unit provides a 100 step analog volume control. The speakers I use are highly efficient speakers. Load problems shouldn´t occur. Which power cords do you use on the Rowland gear? I person... | |
| Sonical differences btw. Concentra II and Concert I´m just thinking of buying a model 10 instead of the 201`s and use it directly with my new Audio Aero Capitole II. Do you think this combo outperforms the current Concerto integrated ? | |
| Sonical differences btw. Concentra II and Concert So would it be better to look out for JRDG seperates eg. 201 / 501 ? Thanks for your kind help. | |
| best speakers for Ayre amps ? I would try Ayon Audio, Kharma and Avalon. All use ceramique tweeters etc. and are very revealing and smooth sounding if paired with an adequate amp. I drove my Ayon Audio Seagul ceramique with an AX-7 (great combination). | |
| What non-upsampling dac betters the DCS stack? The only combo that really betters the DCS stuff is the Barclay X-1 transport combined with the big bad Boulder DAC. I had the pleasure to listen at my dealers place to several state of the art digital playback systems (Wadia, MBL, DCS, Accuphase,... | |
| Audio Aero Prima vs. Resolution Audio Opus 21 In your case I would buy the Ayre CX-7 e add some damping material, buy an Electraglide Mini Khan Plus power cord, Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II IC´s (balanced) and sit back and relax. I once had a Prima that was quite quickly replaced by the ... | |
| Feedback,please on new Electraglide Mini Khan Plus Hi. can´t tell you much about previous EG designs. I had an EG Mini Khan Plus connected to my Jeff Rowland C II integrated for several month - wow, great results much better then the other stuff around. But after replacing this one with the EG Ult... | |
| worlds best headphones Sennheiser Orpheus ? Sennheiser Orpheus and Stax SR 007 Omega II are by far the best earspeakers available. While the Omega is quicker and has got more dynamics and punch, the Orpheus is a bit more layed back but has got for sure the better (more beautiful) finish. Ov... |
