| Rotel RB 993 Yep, sure can. Just feed the amp with the left and right channel from your preamp. This will leave one input (XLR/RCA) and corrresponsing output (speaker terminals) of the RB993 free. It doesn't matter which inputs of the amp you use as long as yo... | |
| Kef reference 203 I spoke to a dealer today about a pair of 203 Kefs that he had just delivered and hooked up for a client who also owns a pair of B&W802 bought previously from the same dealer. Apparently when they compared them the 802s reproduced more low end... | |
| Amp for B&W Sig 805 My B&W 804s work very well with a pair of Jeff Rowland 201 mono blocks. The 201s are tonally well balanced, with exceptional clarity, control and musicality that would certainly complement your high resolved 805s. Like all Jeff Rowland gear, t... | |
| Is an "ultimate Outlet on a switch mode P/S amp OK I use a high current ultimate outlet on my Jeff Rowland 201s with good effect - greater bass extension and definition as well as a somewhat improved overall clarity. This was particularly noticable when I had recently moved house and had my system... | |
| what is the best amp for B&W 802N Over the last couple of years I've upgraded my electroncis (CD player and amp) and cables and found that my B&W 804N remarkably improved in sound with the upgrades. This indicated to me the B&W 804 are quite a refined and transparent speak... | |
| PS Audio Ultimate Outlet vs. UPC From reading the PS Audio group threads, I sure you'll find that Paul will recommend using both UO and UPC. Normally he recommends keeping digital seperate from analogue gear. I'd say keep your CDP and DVD on the UO and i5 and Samsung on UPC. Appa... | |
| xStream speaker cables and B&W 804s I own 804s and agree they can sound a little bright and bass shy with the wrong partnering equipment. These are indeed transparent sounding speakers and what you feed them is what you get. As I slowly upgraded my cabling and electronics I found th... | |
| Good power cord for Rotel? Try PS Audio extreme Statement cords. They work equally as well on CD and amps. Generally they reduce noise and add a bit of weight to the sound. | |
| Rowland --- older amps vs the newer models? I own a pair of 201s and have compared the 501s at home. Both sound similar -- tonally well balance with good freq extension, quick and very musical. Although small in size these amps are built solid and look very attractive. They are designed to ... | |
| cd player upgrade question I installed a Zap 2 and a XO2 into a Rotel 991 CD player. The improvement wasn't dramatic but it did enhance the musicality of this fine player. Using balance connections I noticed better extension and definition in the bass, mids seem to open up ... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? Wadia 301 (second hand) or Wadia 302 (new) are worth listening too. You'll get excellent precision, extension and clarity with these models. | |
| Meridian 508.20 or Wadia 830 or Wadia 301???? With the Wadia's you don't necessarily need a preamp. The Wadia have a digital volume control and a switchable level output which helps matching the input sensitivities to power amps or preamps. I have a Wadia 301 and found feeding it direct into ... | |
| best used amp around $2000 for B&W N802s Give the Rotel RB1090 power amp (380w/ch) a listen. | |
| B&W 804s or 703s? I havent heard the 703s but I own pair of 804s now for about two years. I find them very neutral, transparent and incisive with a slightly tip up high end that sounds very refined and detailed particularly when feed with good quality electronics ... | |
| Barber Cafe Blue flaw? I've played this CD often and have never noticed any abnormal sound. RegardsGlenalan |
