| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Brian, specs for the JRDG 8T at:http://jeffrowland.com/ClassicSpecs.htm#M8show a damping factor of 100. This suggests that this amp may not be ideal for driving speakers with very low impedance. If you like as I do the special sound of Jeff Rowlan... | |
| Into 2009; What rules?? Tubes or Solid State Uhrn.. . I suspect I have a hard time bowing to anyone just because of their birthright, and glass vials may be no exception. Perhaps that is part of my problematic unserious attitude to music. G. | |
| Into 2009; What rules?? Tubes or Solid State Tubes have moved out of my active system for the time being. . . I may not be "serious" enough about music. G. | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Yes, rafael, this thread is very appropriate for discussing comparative opinions and even speculations of Bel canto Ref 1000 performance, as it may relate to other amplifiers of any class, including class D devices. The rest is best moved elsewher... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Gents, whilst this is, uhrn. . . 'fascinating', we may want to migrate any further Spectron meta discussion to an appropriate Spectron-related thread. G. | |
| Rowland Capri vs. the ynergy IIi Fabulous. . . keep us uhr, 'tuned'! G. | |
| Rowland Capri vs. the ynergy IIi That's great Husk01! Do you happen to know how many hours of plaing time there are on the unit, and how long it has been turned off? I suggest at least 300 hours of re-break-in. . . unless it has been used little, in which case the customary 500 h... | |
| pre amp suggestions Before suggesting any amp alternatives, here are a couple more questions for due diligence:1. Have you checked the status of your pre tubes? Is there the possibility that they are depleted? Here is what Lam says about them:"NOTE: we recommend repl... | |
| pre amp suggestions Hmmm, the spects for JRDG model 5 are on the following page:http://jeffrowland.com/ClassicSpecs.htmThe manual is at:http://jeffrowland.com/Docs/Model5Manual.pdfIn particular, here is what the manual states about input impedance and gain selection:... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? Fascinating article. Complete text at:http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/nl802750zNot material for speaker enclosure. . . actually looks like completely new technology for speaker design/construction. . . possibly eventual future alternative to ... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? The prices I mentioned are unit prices. . . I believe prices may go significantly down for quantity orders. | |
| Jeff Rowland preamps Aptquark, unfortunately I have no direct comparative experience of Concerto pre vs Capri. . . so I decided to ask Rod Tomson of Soundings Hifi in Denver, who has had a lot of experience with both. He suggested that from the point of view of extens... | |
| New Bel Canto Gear at RMAF Hmmm, looks like I'll have to start mentioning that I trained as a classic music composer (Grins!) | |
| Rowland Capri vs. the ynergy IIi Hi Husk, I use a Capri, but have never heard the Ynergy, so I can't compare them. Depending on your sonic preferences, you may or may not like the Capri. Capri is extremely linear, extended and detailed, with a lot of harmonic exposure and very fi... | |
| Jeff Rowland preamps Hi Egay, the only recommendations I have about Capri is to:1. use it in balanced mode if at all possible.2. Allow a full break in of about 500 hours of actual music playing before critical listening.3. Leave it always turn on unless you have storm... |
