| class d Yeap, Nuforce amps sure do not like travelling, may take a week of real playing time before they forget how much they disliked the airplane's cargo hold. . . until such time, they'll keep reminding you about how unhappy you have made them! [smiles!] | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers I agree with you Mdhoover, eventually, the success of the Muzick speakers will be a function of their musical performance. I hope some Agoner will report about them from SEDIA to start with. . . and I am looking forward to listening to them at som... | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend Thank you Dtanclim. . . but now I just can't help asking. . . what has been the sonic effect of the PC1s on the your Rowland 501 monos, and how long did the PC1s take to break in and stabilize? Thanks again, Guido | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Now returning in earnest to the main topic [grins!]. . . The 6550C Black Sable will make for an interesting experiment with my Ref 3 the coming Fall, when my music loft becomes once again 'tube friendly'. If it sounds even more linear and extended... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Thanks Kenobi, now I do remember the review. I can only guess that AIT may have been dealing with a NuForce right out of the factory or with very incomplete break in, or dead cold. Only on a dead cold and recently installed NuForce I have experien... | |
| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers Uhr. . . [grins!} Can't help fantasizing! G | |
| Rowland owners which speaker you use & recommend Hi Dtanclim, may I ask if you are using a single PC1 on your 501 monos, or one per side? JRDG recommends a PC1 on each 501 monoblock. having said this, the 501s do wonders on Vienna Acoustics speakers. I have heard them with Mahlers and Beethoven ... | |
| Good usedpreamp recommendations up to $1500 or so? TVAD is correct. . . and Capri is my own fav. . . true balanced design, XLR and RCA in and out, theatre bypass, remote, SS. I have written a lot about it elsewhere and truly like it. . . It does not attempt to imitate the sound of tubes. . . just ... | |
| whats the best amplifier for me?? I also suggest the Nuforce Ref 9 SE monos, but also the Spectron Musician 3 stereo, which can be bridged to mono if you so decide at a later time. Rowland 501 monos are also quite sweet, but may be a little more expensive and I suspect may sound a... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? That's exciting Bar81! How many hours of break in will the Spectral require before it stabilizes? | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp Pinkus, I agree with you about Capri not being a tube surrogate. Only its general lack of 'grain' reminds me a little of some tube designs. While I do admit that I personally prefer Capri over Ref 3 based on a few parameters that are important to ... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Hi Kijanki, once again, I am not an electrical engineer, so I apologize for my lack of rigor. You are correct the PS of the ASC200 power conversion module is already regulated. Yet, according to the designer and to many users, feeding 102/201/501 ... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Thank you Rafael, I may have misunderstood. . . As I am not an EE, you will get more precise answers by contacting JRDG directly. G. | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp Hi Ckoffend, I agree with you. . . the Capri does not sound tube-like to me either. But I do confess that I am not necessarily seeking a tube-like sound. How many hours of playing time have you put on your Capri since you received it? G | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Rafael and Dave, the active PFC circuit of the PC1 is in fact used in series with internal DC2DC transformers of compatible devices to optimize voltage regulation. Unfortunately I am not an electrical engineer and my technical knowledge is limited... |
