| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Dave, we will hopefully have an opportunity of putting a Criterion and a Capri side by side in October during RMAF in Denver, and we'll find out what the real story is. G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Yes Psag, absolutely. . . products must justify themselves on sound first and foremost. . . I am incredibly curious about its musical performance. G. | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Bostonbean, with an input impedance of 50K Ohms on both RCA and XLR connectors, the Spectron Mus 3 Sig II should be quite easy to interface with almost any tube pre. My current favorite tubed line stages are the ARC Ref 3 and the VTL 6.5, but I... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Heard Red Dragon monos. Very dynamic but far too dark sounding for my particular taste. Guido | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand Acdvd, a damping factor of 200 is fairly reasonable. . . higher than that of my old Rowland Model 7 mono amp behemoths. You can expect a very slight flaring of the bass, which in fact you are likely to find rather pleasing to the ears. . . but sho... | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand The damping factor for an amp is usually published as such in the specifications of an amplifier. If you can't find the info on the manufacturer's web site, please get in touch directly with your dealer or with the manufacturer itself. | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand Hi Miner42, with what amp did you drive the Mozarts? The bass of Vienna speakers in general can sound warm/bloated when driven by amplifiers with a low damping factor. Guido | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri preamp "Well, I've had my capri running for close to a 1000 hours and it sounds fantastic."Thank you Pause, your finding validates my own. . . it takes an inordinate amount of time for the Capri to shine. . . probably about 1000 hours or more. . . but on... | |
| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? Hi Opus88, what I witnessed was an extremely simple single step process. . . and trust me, there was no reduced dynamics nor bandwidth. . . we went from a 'cute legacy sound with quaint compression'. . . to 'oh wow!' G. | |
| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? Opus88, you may want to ask Albert Porter about his experiences with record cleaning fluids. some of the solutions he has worked with lately are astonishingly effective in removing the subtlest particles of ancient schmutz. . . As you may have gue... | |
| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? Hi REL and thank you. . . I suchly stand corrected on both counts, although I am not quite sure how Radon gas is related to sound in lps. . . Albert, used a Geiger counter on your lps lately? How I came up with hydrogen dioxide instead of dihydrog... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Hi Mike, has your MPS-5 completed break-in? How many hours of playing time did it take to stabilize 100%? Thanks, Guido | |
| Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand Hi Acdvd, I am an admitted fan of Vienna speakers. . . they are true musical instruments! It is also true that they enjoy being driven relatively stoutly for best results. Your Moon I-3RS should be fine. . . with its damping factor of 200 you can ... | |
| Triple deionized water for cleaning lps ? It's just distilled water. . . find it at your friendly drugstore or chemical/medical supply store. . . . few cents per gallon. Triply de-ionized simply means that your friendly H2O has been distilled thrice to remove impurities. . . . which may h... | |
| class d Sorry Jimmy, I have no experience what so ever with multichannel gear. . . NuForce or otherwise. Guido |
