New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
All, Criterion will be featured in Soundings Hifi's own showrooms in Denver during a series of open-houses during the RMAF show. The demo system will be identical to my own except for CD player, and will likely consist of the following components:... 
Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound
Karmatogdral, with which Siltech wires have you been happiest? What other wires have you used in your system? Could you contrast them for us?Thanks, G. 
How many versions do you have?
I only have the Mutter. . . stunning fiddle playing, and . . . stylistically utterly bizarre. G. 
Which power cord more important?
Some of my fiddlings of the last 12 months with power cords are discussed in my PFO article on the Furutech Evolution II wiring suite. See:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue45/furutech.htmMy general impressions is that there are power cords that a... 
In search of the right SS integrated amp
Nwickend, on October 1st I might have the opportunity of listening to the Continuum 500 and the Boulder 865 in the same room/system. This will be in Denver at Soundings Hifi. I will post my observations if the A/B comparison materializes. If the h... 
In search of the right SS integrated amp
Regarding Rowland Continuum 500, we do not have a completely authoritative review of this device yet. If I recall correctly, the unit was in the reviewer's possession for a very limited time the first time the review was prepared. . . one or 2 day... 
Looking for monoblocks
Macro, have a look at some of the older Bel Canto amps on Audiogon. . . I fear that if you buy a set of new class D monos under $1K, you may end up with pretty darn dry/hempy bass.G. 
Looking for monoblocks
Hi Macro, what kind of current will you require on each speaker, and what is your actual budget?Guido 
Austin , TX .
Dmgrant1, Audiobuilder, and all. . . Scott can't add you to the mailing list using your Agon monicker even if he wanted to. The list is Email based. . . it requires regular email addresses. Scott can't guess your email address from your Agon monic... 
Need preamp recommendation
As you are using a balanced Pass amp, you may want to try a balanced Pre to lower the noce floor by taking advantage of common mode rejection. If you were open to solid state devices, I am extremely fond of the Rowland Capri: $2700 new, and approx...

New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Brazcole, not too many of us read Portuguese. . . that means that not only we can't read the Andrette review, but we do not even know how to subscribe to the web site. Could you please create a Google translation of the review, then paste the tran... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Thank you Brazcole for the link to the review. I am enjoying every minute of music from my Criterion, which at about 700 hours seems to me fully broken in. Among other things, the Criterion has added significant authority to my system. As I mentio... 
Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound
I listen almost exclusively to classical. . . with a lot of small string chamber ensambles. Try the Furutech Evolution II wires, for highly neutral and musical sound throughout the frequency range. Audioquest Sky may even exceed these Furutech in ...
