| Jeff Rowland Sound I own a JRDG 312 and am in love/lust with it! I wrote a capsule article on issue 188 of The Absolute Sound on the amp, part of a longer article on the Vienna Mahler V1.5 speakers.The musicality, resolution, and authority of the device is -- at lea... | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Rleff, the amp to compare to Model 6 in JRDG's current lineup is the 312. Unfortunately its price tag is commensurate with its highly musical performance. I was not as enthrolled with the performance of the 312's immediate predecessor, named 302. G. | |
| Jeff Rowland Sound Model 6 monos I have seen. . . but I have not heard yet.. My understanding from talking to Jeff Rowland himself, is that they may have been as involving as the newest 312 stereo, but perhaps not quite as revealing/transparent. Current JRDG offerin... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Mike, yes I read the DarTzeal site and saw the 50Ohm impedance characteristics of the DarTzeel BNC interface. I have no idea if it can be added to Criterion post FSC, or what engineering work its addition may involve. G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Splendid idea Dave. It may be worth while you creating a separate thread to locate a Dartzeel user in the Denver general area who would be interested in contributing his unit to perform the Criterion/Dartzeel listening session. Problem is that not... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Mike, at this point, Criterion does not support BNC connections. Inputs and outputs are XLR balanced and RCA unbalanced. All I/O is transformer coupled to resolve source impedance mismatches and apparently yields >90dB common mode rejection on ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre One interesting point is that at Soundings Hifi in Denver, in the opinions of several, the Rowland 312 amp was preferred to the Boulder 2060 stereo in the areas of authority, macrodynamics and general fullness of sound, in addition to micro dynami... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Mike, a direct in-system Dartzeel/Criterion comparison for both battery and AC ops would be quite fascinating, particularly if vinyl media could be included in the proceedings. Guido | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Norm, my feeling about underpowered amplification exactly. . . I felt that the Vandy 7 could have used the more powerful Ref 220s to shine. Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Husk01, I can give you only a semi useful answer by indirection as follows:A friend of mine tried Berkeley DAC by itself as well as Berkeley into a JRDG Capri: he much preferred Berkeley into Capri; never the less he sold capri because of cost rec... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? In Vandersteen room Shunyata was used: King Cobra CX, and Stratos if I recall correctly. G. | |
| Dartzeel NHB-508, Any Price Info Yet? Interesting. . . I did not see it at RMAF. . . may have missed it. GUido | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones What is your budget for a class D amp? Like all other amp types, class D amps range from less than $1000 to over $40,000. . . quite a range. Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Apologies Husk. I inadvertently missed your post. Unfortunately I have no experience with MBL and DartZeel. I am sure they are fine devices in their own right. If you would like me to elaborate on the behavior of Criterion in some particular sonic... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre And of course let us add those exceedingly fine GamuT monoblocks to Boulder 2060, Rowland 312, and FM Acoustics. Unfortunately I do not remember the model of the GamuTs, but I seem to remember they were priced at approximately $26K, which is 1 fif... |
