| Power Cords Hi Richard, as mentioned in my PM to you, Shunyata wires tend to take from 300 to 450 hours to breakin, stabilize, and give their best. Unless they are broken in, there is no telling where you catch them in the semi-random cycle of performance pea... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? The new Rowland Power Storage Unit (PSU) is a full chassy external ultra-capacitor-based power supply. It has been designed to power simultaneously up to three line-level devices... A Rowland Aeris DAC, a Corus linestage, and as one spare output f... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Hi maplegrovemusic, actually Rowland has at least a triple presence at RMAF.... a full complement of Rowland gear can be heard in the Humboldt room, which is the Nordost suite, powering a pair of Magico speakers, and all wired by Odin II cabling..... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Inna, let's all admit it... It does feel sooo good to lash out indiscriminately in 79 random directions, ain't it? G.Ah, but I just remember one more saying... This one by Richard Strauss..."Do not look at the trombones.... It only encourages them!* | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore eHello George and Inna... as much as I fear that it might be futile to do so, I must invite you once again to... Get out of the house more often... You never know what novel beauty you might discover, unless you did so.Ah yes, I did dredge up from... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Hi JL35, I have not heard Daemon yet.... But if I ever decide to retire my enchanting combination of Roland PSU+Aeris, and M925 mono amps, I am going to consider consolidating, and so Daemon would become a prime candidate... Post launch comments I... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Hi Inna and all, if you happen to be at RMAF this weekend, you will be able to listen to a full suite of Rowland electronics wired with Nordost Odin II, and powering a pair of Magico speakers in the Nordost suite (Humboldt). The Rowland electronic... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Mola Mola is an extremely small company and Bruno Putzeys is the heart and soul of the company. Mola Mola's DAC, while having a very small footprint, is extremely complex. I am not surprised that it is late. On the other hand, the delay may be cau... | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi @stevecham, for a different perspective on class D amp, you might want to read the following thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/class-d-is-just-dandyThere is a rapidly growing number of music lovers are adopting class D amplification... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps My apologies Johnny, your automotive metaphores are quite impenetrable. Per the following page: http://www.aragonav.com/8008-bb-mondial The Aragon 8008BB has a balanced input impedance of 44KOhms, which is commensurate with the 40KOhms of th... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps One more clarification.... Both Ref 3 and Capri were fully broken in.... REF 3 had a few thousand hours on it, and had fresh but broken in tubes for the SET Winged 6550 in the power supply and the 6H30s... Particularly important in the 6550... It ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Woops, you are right Johnny, I should have given the context of my repeated comparisons.I had both Rowland Capri and Ref 3 in my system using the following amplifiers:Rowland M312: 40K Ohms inpput impedance.Rowland M625: 10K OhmsRowland M725: 40K ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Hi @paulburnett, several years ago, I had the original Rowland Capri in my system for about 15 months -- a truly excellent preamplifier, which was a significant upgrade from the ARC Ref3 that I used before. The original capri was audibly superior ... | |
| Lesson Learned Just for the record, there is no Rowland M625 S3 in development... Nor there is one somewhere in the ether of the 4th dimension... #fake-news... *Rolls Eyes!*G. | |
| Lesson Learned Hi Richard, ultimately, trusting our own ears is the way to go... We enjoy music through our own ears, our own brains, our own feelings, our own conception of music and beauty.... This principle has served you and me well.Eventually, we might disc... |
