New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Jimjoyce25, I have no doubt that a different power&data pigtail may affect sound one way or an other. There are however 2 things to bear in mind:1. Experimenting with wires of any kind prior to complete break in is futile. . . you would be sho... 
I need suggestions and ideas in picking a preamp.
BlackZimbo, you will find as much tonal variability on tube gear as you will find with SS. Rather then deciding a priori on tubes or SS because of any form of external said-so, it is worth while making a hypothesis on what kind of sound you may be...

Jimjoyce25, there are 2 12inch pigtails connecting the control chassis with the audio chassis. One connects data buss and DC power to the right channel, the other one is the same for the left channel. The cables are custom cables with small round ...

Getting back to topic. . . it's time for a brief update at approx the 55 hours mark. Most of the day I have been playing from a CD of Dvorak violin/cello/piano trios from a set of complete Dvorak chamber works on the Brillian Classics label. This ...

Thank you Brazcole, Kimber could be interesting.. . but every time I heard that brand I found it to be a little hard sounding. I am having a great deal of success with Furutech wires. I use Furutech Evolution II ICs, speaker wires and power cords ...

In other words Bill, for your private edification, the link below will take you to a fine site, were you can learn about cornets, trumpets, flugelhorns, and mayhaps flumpets -- none producing noxious exhaust fumes but all powered by the clean exha...

Bill, you are so right of course, I suchly confess that I know nearly nothing about cars, and about vintage cars I know even less than that. I was told the Olds Cornet I was going to buy had only 3 pistons working, and some dings on the manifold, ...

O Shucks Dave, the cornet never arrived. . . do you think I should still write the review? G.

Thank you Brazcole, what I said was the contrary of what you understood. . . I was afraid that Criterion out of the box was going to be quite dull or strident or bad. I was instead surprised because it was very listenable and in an hour or 2 it so...

Hi Bob, great hearing from you. . . of course I do remember you! I just popped down from the loft loft after listening to a couple of selections from my test CD. If Criterion is supposed to be doing strange things before it gets even better, it ha...

Thank you Phil and all. It looks like. . . The Criterion has landed!UPS delivered it over the noon hour and I hawled the 54Lbs box 17 steps upstairs to my listening loft. I am delighted to report that I did not drop it. The unit was delivered comp...

Hmmm, hi Clavil. . . it looks like the gentleman with the Olds Ambassador cornet did not show up this afternoon after all. . . I may have to play Bruckner 4th on my barock alto recorder, lovingly manufactured by Moeck approx 1968 in rosewood and i...

Received an automated call from UPS. . . my Criterion will be delivered sometime tomorrow. 
ICEPower vs SET
Toufu, the ICEpower 200 AS are modules as far as I know, not amps. What class D amps have you bought that are based on 200 AS modules? Are you running balanced on the switching class D amps? 
Dissapointed with my new speakers
What you describe are all the symptoms of brand new speakers. Put 800 hours of music on them. . . then let us know if you still have probs with them. What speakers do before they are broken in is usually hideous. G.
