| Specific needs for a new preamp... Hi Clio, you make very good points. The lack of phase inversion on Capri remote is a little annoying. . . and so is any lack of balance tracking on the display. The lack of phase inversion toggle on the remote has historical origins. . . Capri, be... | |
| Specific needs for a new preamp... Ckoffend, lack of on/off switch on Capri is an urban legend, probably started on review of Capri/102 on AUDIOENZ. Capri has a regular on/off toggle switch on the backplate. | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Kijanki, I suspect that the more refined sound of the 312 over the 501 is caused by a reasonably wide variety of technical factors, only one of them being integration of PFC. It is worth pointing out that PFC has now being integrated in the Contin... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Hi Kijanki, 501 were introduced prior to 312. Both use ASP100. However 501 monos are relatively basic design, while 312 costs almost 3x the 501s, and is much more sophisticated and, includes integrated PFC among other things. G | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Kenk168, I have never experienced noise with the excellent Nuforce Ref 9SE V2. under what circumstances may such noise show up and become a problem? | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Hi Karelfd, unfortunately I have not had the opportunity of listening to the Acoustic Reality amps. It is my understanding however, that most switching amps are truly balanced designs. I suspect therefore, that no matter what amp of this type you ... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Hi Kijanki, has your JRDG 102 stabilized completely after 400 hours mark?I also have observed some treble sterility -- or at least lak of ultimate musicality -- in some 'entry level' switching amps such as Flying Molde (by far most evident), Chann... | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Clio, please keep us posted. . . I'd be curious what you think of Capri once you are around the 1K hrs mark. G. | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Thank you Kijanki, much appreciated. . . now I remember reading this review a while ago. Can't help thinking that the relative darkness, moderate downward extension, slight imaging problems, and other minor quibbles that Mr. Wong observed may have... | |
| Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good Hi Mordante, if that is the case, considering also the significant cost of shipping any used Model 3s weighing 200lbs from the USA to Europe, the asking price of EU2300 or so is fair. | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode Hi Kijanki, I looked for the Capri/102 review by Audioenz but could not find it. . . could you post the URL?The PC1 is unfortunately not inexpensive, at $1500 list, but some dealers have sometimes offered a demo unit for quite a bit less. One good... | |
| Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good Mordante, according to Bluebook, the JRDG Model 3 averages $1970 on the used market. That's roughly 1300 Euros. The original price was $4700 new. The price your dealer is asking may be a little high. G. | |
| Jeff Rowland amp in unbalanced mode I can confirm that current JRDG amps are fully balanced in the input as well as in the output stages. According to Jeff Rowland, his amps put out an active signal on both positive and negative speaker terminals. Hi Kijanki, have you considered add... | |
| Jeff Rowland model 3, are they any good Mordante, JRDG amps are pretty tough to break, and that is why there are so many superannuated Rowland amps from the mid to late '80s out there for sale. I for instance am the proud owner of a set of Model 7M monos. . . and since they came out of ... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Jaspert, there are only 3 things that matter when inserting switching amps in a system: patience, patience, and more patience. Once you have logged a little over 1000 hrs of playing time on them, the BC will probably be starting to give you the... |
