| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps forgive me for being so ill-informed, but i still don't know what power-factor-correction IS, and what the benefits of having it ARE. How does it differ from schemes used in past amplifiers to "purify" the incoming electrical source? | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps This is so reminiscent of the introduction of the Model 9's so many years ago, with a choice of battery or A/C power supply boxes. The mere thought of having a pair of those huge amplifiers with the adjoining connections was enough to make most pe... | |
| Proceed PDT 3 & PDP 3 Levinson went from Proceed as its initial offerings in digital playback to "reference" grade components which were extremely expensive and massiveboxes, separating EVERYTHING from everything else inside. finally they used their knowledge to produc... | |

| MULTI-CH SACD'S on 2CH SOUND STRANGE? Hi Yashu, all i can comment on the EMM "sound" is that one recording is night and day different from the next. if you're not in the best of moods on a given day this might be of some concern- if you want everything to sound equally wonderful. If y... | |
