Jeff Rowland Pre with Pass Labs X350.5 or X600.5
Grant, is the functionality you are looking for Theatre bypass? From the user's manual. . . (1) INPUT SELECT: This button will select the desired input, the input number corresponding to the numbering of the inputs on the rear panel. Each press of... 
Jeff Rowland Pre with Pass Labs X350.5 or X600.5
A slightly laid back sound with moderate dynamics was apparently a hallmark of classic JRDG equipment. I suggest that in newest iterations this may have changed towards a more 'centristic' approach. On my own system at least (TEAC X-01 Limited, JR... 
Jeff Rowland's Continumm
"clarity, nuance, gestalt, palpability, etc"I agree with you Macrojack, I wouldn't know how to palpate a nuanced gestalt if one sat in my lap. And yes, 'findings' sounds so much 'more better'n' personal opinion. I also agree that using colorful te...

Hi Facias, I suspect you may find it easier to get in touch with Jeff by phone than by eMail. 302 and 312 do not contain the same ICE modules. 302 had a discrete power supply. I believe that the newer 312 uses a 3rd generation ICE module with inte...

Good suggestion Macrojack. JRDG is at 719-473-1181. Be aware that they are in US Central time. They are most easily contacted from 9:00 AM central to 12:000 PM. Then again from about 1:30 PM central to 4:30 pm central. . . but hrs may vary. I also...

The 501 does not have the same module used for 201. If I remember correctly, the 501 and the 312 may use the same modules instead. The Continuum 500 -- which is the model variant I would suggest -- essentially contains 2 501 circuits, for the ampl...

Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
RKMCV, Cathartidae are temporarily looking elsewhere. . . let them be. G. 
Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
30 days should yield about 720 hrs of activity for the amp. . . perhaps not a full break-in, but it should be enough to form an educated opinion of the Spectron Mk.2. . . . or of the monos. 
Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed?
Hi Bill, I believe at least a while ago Spectron had a 30 days money back guarantee. . . that was used to enable audiophiles to try out Spectron amps without making a irrevocable commitment. You can give Spectron a buzz at 818-435-2090 and find ou... 
PC for Rowland 312 and others?
Hi Garebear, there is no problem with the PC1 output connection. . . the connector makes actually excellent connection and is likely more reliable than most. . . it's just that upgrading the ombelical/pigtail may require some custom work from the ... 
PC for Rowland 312 and others?
Dtanclim, you are perfectly correct about the funky output connector on PC1. . . Not at all a standard connector. . . as a result upgrading the minimalistic PC1-to-amp DC chord shipped with it will be a royal pain. . . In one of my next chats with... 
Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings
Dave, on the 29th at the Soundings/JRDG tour, try to do some comparative listening of Capri (sans PC1) vs the new Criterion. . . I am so curious to learn if Criterion outperforms Capri and by how much and in which areas. Guido 
PC for Rowland 312 and others?
Hi Garebear, I'd be very interested in hearing about your findings on KS power chords if you have the opportunity of applying them to JRDG 501s. I suspect though, that the 501s may also benefit greatly from a pair of PC1 devices. In the case of 50...
