JRDG Jeff Rowland amps with Shahinian Diapason?
Balazs, as you know, I do have the 312 in my system, and absolutely love it. I did enjoy the Spectron Musician 3 when I heard it 2 years ago for 3 hours in a system otherwise consisting of a slightly home-brewed CDp, HCat pre, and SP speakers. Unf... 
CD Player choice for JRDG 9t's and Coherence II
I have used the TEAC Esoteric X-01 Limited (same as D2 in redbook mode) for approx 3 years with great success. I listen mostly to classical. Used it on JRDG 77M monos and on JRDG 312 stereo amp. My pres have been the ARC Ref 3 and more recently th...

New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Brazcole, do not give up about the Criterion yet. Units have started to trickle into the distribution channels, although the remote control will be delivered to such customers with a slight delay. As soon as Jeff Rowland returns to the office in e... 
What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.?
Right on Lrsky, and so is French's fine mustard, which is certainly not French to start with, but equally is not likely to be terribly much American, as 80% of world production of mustard seeds cometh from that fine Land North of the great 49th, w...

small footprint balanced pre-amp
I perceived Capri to be slightly more extended in the treble and bass than the ARC Ref 3. Furthermore, compared to the same, Capri seems to yield a fairly neutral frequency response without obvious humps or trofs. Interestingly, I perceive greater... 
small footprint balanced pre-amp
I echo Curio and Clio. . . I also use the small JRDG Capri and absolutely love it. . . It is a differentially balanced design with XLR, RCA, theater bypass, and a simple remote. used to use ARC Ref 3 in my system, but I do prefer the Capri in most... 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
All, because of an emergency in Jeff's family, we may need to wait for Criterion a few more weeks. I'll keep you informed. Thanks, Guido 
Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?
I am partial to certain class D amps for high current applications. If your budget wer upwards of $10K, thre are some excellent choices. . . Bel Canto Ref 100 Mk.2 monos for about $6K are quite delightful and may fall slightly on the warmer side o... 
Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier
Hi Kiwi, I can confirm that the heat from the C500 is caused by the internal PFC module. It is a 1500W unit from a different manufacturer than the 750W twin units used in the 312. . . and it generates much more heat than the other modules combined... 
Mark Levinson No.53 -- impressions ?
Unfortunately I have not yet heard this amp. It is clearly a sign of the growing maturity of class D amplification if yet one more major manufacturer creates a statement product around switching amplification technology. There is a good info page ...
