| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Dave, you haven't told us yet if you heard the Criterion on batteries or AC. | |
| verdict on class D amps? Frank, you hit the nail on the head on class D amps. . . which are not digital devices btw. . . They are evolving rapidly, but like with amps based on any other technology, they vary in sound by model and by manufacturer. . . always have, and alwa... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Husk, Soundings HiFi is in Denver (Colorado). Best way to get in touch with them is by phone at 303-759-5505. The owner is my friend Rod Tomson. | |
| What amp for B&W 804? The Bel Canto R500 Mk.2 -- being slightly on the warmer side of neutral -- is the only reasonably priced class D amp that I would suggest for driving the B&W 804s. As these speakers appear to be on the leaner side of neutral, there is the dang... | |
| verdict on class D amps? Coffeey and Stanwal suffer of Audiophilia Nostalgica, a very painful form of the more common audiophilia nervosa that we all suffer from.Rather, go listen to various switching (class D or T) amps and decide for yourself if any of them are for you.... | |
| Rowland Criterion vs Joule-Electra LA 300ME Thank you Teajay, I agree completely with you that we are deeply immersed in the realm of personal preference. And this is why I am as narrow as I possibly can in my own findings. . . e.g. I may say that I personally prefer component A over B in m... | |
| Starting an Analog front end - Rowland? Thank you Raquel, The Vienna Mahlers V1.5 employ a new ferro-silicon enclosure for the tweeter and have some modifications to the crossover to adapt for the slightly different tweeter behavior. According to Sumiko, the new tweeter arrangement may ... | |
| Starting an Analog front end - Rowland? Hi Phil, according to Jeff Rowland, his older pres are a little warmer sounding. By contrast the Capri is a little more extended and linear throughout the frequency range than the older models. Feel free to send me a PM. Guido | |
| Rowland Criterion vs Joule-Electra LA 300ME Good choice Husk01. . . Criterion seems to have a very advanced theater bypass. . . essentially you can select which connectors to assign to the bypass functionality, both through remote control and on chassis menuing system and display. Tomorrow ... | |
| Starting an Analog front end - Rowland? Far from declaring that Capri is 'better' than any pre out there, I do confess of having developed a personal preference for Capri over my own Ref 3 for reasons I have discussed elsewhere already to some nauseating detail. Not having had personal ... | |
| Rowland Criterion vs Joule-Electra LA 300ME Husk01, do you happen to know the input impedance of your amps? The output impedance of the Joule-Electra is selectable between 350 Ohms & 1200 Ohms. . . the spec page did not specify if it supports fully balanced operations or if it is single... | |
| JRDG Jeff Rowland amps with Shahinian Diapason? I have used JRDG models 7M monoblocks for 10 years, mostly on Magnepan 3A speakers. When I changed speakers to Vienna mahlers, the 7M yielded a very sweet sound, but just slightly too rich in the bottom 2 octaves. This was expected, because the 7M... | |
| Vienna Beethoven Baby Grand vs Mozart Grand Crissain, there is a dedicated thread for discussing the top of the line Die Muzick speakers by Vienna Acoustics. See:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1218739223&openfrom&1&4#1 | |

| Digital Amplifiers Hi Jallen, do you happen to know which specific models you listened to? even with the same manufacturer like Rowland, different models do sound quite different. Then the is the old break in issue. . . switching amps are notorious bears to break in... |
