| Improving on Classic Amps Cwlondon, actually class D amps are analog devices. . . the "D" is just a counter, like in A B [C] D. . . problem is that I have no idea where class C amps have gone (snickers!)As for them being heavily discounted. . . some are, while some brands/... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF I will be starting to break in a pair of Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk2 monos very shortly. I will post my findings on Audiogon in the form of a new review thread after I reach the 1000 hours breakin mark. I won't be able to compare to the Mk.1 version be... | |
| Improving on Classic Amps Timpanis being low impedance and current hungry creatures, why not try some high quality class D amplification in a balanced configuration: Rowland Continuum 500 if you want to try the integrated root. . . else, Bel canto Ref 1000 Mk.2 monoblocks ... | |
| Class A Power Amp Degredation Edwyun is correct, in that my Rowland 7Ms came out of the factory in the late '80s and are still going strong after 2 decades. . . except for the monthly power bill. | |
| Class A Power Amp Degredation Rbwinterlink, in general it is best to turn off your system if you leave home for a few days regardless of the class of operation of your amp. . . besides power consumption concerns for all class A amps and many class A/B amps, there is the issue ... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? Raquel, you are correct, outwardly at least, my preference does not sound terribly credible--the Ref 3 retailing for almost 4X the Capri, being rather diminutive, and internally rather sparsely populated. On the other hand having lost my eyesight ... | |
| Class D question............... Yawn. . . . (zzzzzzzs!) G. | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? My preference is for the Capri directly plugged into the AC, without PC1 Power Factor Correction device. I am planning to test the PC1 on Capri once again in the near future. I have tried 3 PCs on Capri this far: PAD anniversary -- oddly, I did no... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? I even prefer the JRDG Capri to my ARC Ref 3 for driving my JRDG 312 amp. To my ears, Capri yields greater top to bottom extension, linearity, harmonic complexity, authority, macro and micro dynamics. Staging and imaging seem to me comparable betw... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? Chances are the Krell will mate very well with Capri, as Capri has very low output impedance: the manual lists 40 Ohms single ended and 80 Ohms balanced, making it quite compatible with most amps on the market. Other Capri specs and manual at:http... | |
| Class D question............... "So much for the subject line of this thread."Do not worry Stltrains. I have discovered that my JRDG 312 is not sounding any less sweet right now playing Dvorak trios, in spite of the few electronic obscurantists around here. . . I am starting to ... | |
| Krell FPB 300cx vs Jeff Rowland 501's? The JRDG 501 are undoubtedly very fine amps to start with. . . loads of controlled power to drive any load and a very open and easy to listen sound. For the reasons explained by Raquel above, if you want the ultimate out of the 501 monos, you need... | |
| Class D question............... Very powerful analogy Fafafion. . . I am staggered by the scope of your Weltanschauung. G. | |
| Class D question............... I believe that the correct Latin passive periphrastic form in the quoted sentence makes use of the gerundive mode rather than the past participle. . ."De gustibus non disputandum est."I also spent 4 wonderful years studying under the Jesuit Father... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? I have been breakin in a Synergistic Research PowerCell, and I am writing a detailed review to be posted on Audiogon. Suffice it to say that, particularly after enhancing it with an SR Precision Reference into the AC mains, I have been rather impr... |
