| Jeff Rowland 501s and PC1s Thank you for the update Clavil. Your findings on the refining effect of PC1s corroborate my original guess based on my own 501/312 comparisons. Will you be able to leave your equipment active and playing music from a tuner whilst you travel to As... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Thank you Nospam for the clarification. I would still like to know which ICEpower based amp you evaluated. Your assertion that recent production ICE amps have veiled highs across the board is an interesting proposition which I have not been able t... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Husk01, a limited number of units have been shipped, minus the remote control whose microprogramming is still being finalized. General availability of Criterion will start as soon as all kinks have been removed from the remote control firmware. Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Husk01, I have just called JRDG. The answer is yes, not only Criterion supports theater bypass, but the bypass functionality can be mapped by the user to any single ended or balanced input via the Criterion menuing system. G. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Nospam, which class D amp suffered of the slight loose bass problem? and on what speakers? Thanks, Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Spoke to Jeff Rowland today, the Stereophile report of Criterion being on static display at CES '09 appears to be one of those urban legends with an unknown cause. . . Criterion was playing music throughout the show, including during the Stereophi... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Marty, the good news is that John Stronczer's designs have evolved quite dramatically from the BC 300. . . you'd be amazed. . . I definitely was so, last night, with the $6K BC R1000 Mk.2 having broken the 400 hour mark.Stanwal, have you considere... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Excellent points Stereo. I would like to add that at least 2 manufacturers (Bel Canto and JRDG) have started to add pre power supply current rectification in some models. This means that the power supply is essentially fed DC from a current reserv... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? hmmm, me thinks last time I heard 'em voices I was 16. . . right in the middle of the Sturm und Drang of adolescence. . . now I'm only a crotchety old prankster foolin' 'round with words and audio components. | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Of course I empathize with you Coffeey. . . it is really sad how things have the habit of being. . . and even more of changing and evolving. . . in spite of our better doubts, nostalgia for the safety of olden days, or tradition abiding skepticism... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? Condocondor, I have no direct experience with the Bel Canto S500 stereo. Just looked at:http://belcantodesign.com/new2008.htmlBy reading between the lines, it seems that the S500 may lack the input AC current rectification circuit of the Ref 1000 ... | |
| "Pictures at an Exhibition" Spank, the piano version is not a transcription. . . Modesto Mussorgsky scored the Pictures for piano. Later composers and conductors applied their talents to transcribing the work for orchestra, organ and. . . rock band (although the ELP version ... | |
| How do Digital Amps Mfrs. compare in sound? I agree completely with one thing that Stanwal said:"I would have a long listening session with any of them before buying"That is because switching amps -- which in most cases are analog devices and not digital) -- like any other technologies, hav... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Hi Simon, excellent question. . . to which I can't give an answer yet. I am in the process of breaking in the Bel canto as we speak. . . I am feeding them through Cardas Golden Ref PCs. . . while I had been feeding the 312 with a SR T3 for a littl... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I'll call Jeff next week and will find out what the situation may be. Guido |
