| Jeff Rowland Pre with Pass Labs X350.5 or X600.5 Hi all, my apologies. . . I am not at all familiar with older pres from JRDG. . . but -- for what it matters -- I have reasonably good experience with the current JRDG Capri, which has been in my system for the last couple of months. I still conte... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? I agree TVAD, Spectron could benefit from a marketing professional to create a smoothly effective markcom machine for itself. Unfortunately such creatures do not come particularly cheap. . . a reasonable one well in the 6 figures. . . the salary c... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Very odd indeed gents. . . I for one did not deem Spectron's post offensive, condescending, defensive, or otherwise inimical. . . I do agree that it was remarkably light on content, to the extent of being almost tautological. . . yet I found it to... | |
| Esoteric CD player to buy, please help Hi Kiwi, could I ask you to comment on differences you perceived between X-03 and P05-D05 combo? And between same combo and X-01 Limited, if you had the opportunity to do that comparison as well. Thanks, GUido | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? Sumiko also offers a free MasterSet performed by trained Sumiko personnel with the purchase of any new Sonus Faber Stradivari speakers from an authorized North American dealer.And the 'minority' of audiophile that have not purchased Strads. . . ca... | |
| Esoteric CD player to buy, please help Denon1, if you do not mind buying 2nd hand, you may spend more or less the same on a used TEAC X-01 Limited. . . more heavy duty than X-03SE or the 05 model. . . and probably still a superior sound. . . should be under $7K on Audiogon. For new TEA... | |
| How important is the speaker/room interface? I can only echo what Dave said. . . I also got my Mahler speakers professionally placed according to the Sumiko MasterSet by Rod Tomson at Soundings. . . not only the setup made a world of sonic difference, but wife comments positively about the m... | |
| Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier Because of the built-in Power Factor Correction circuit, it is said that Continuum 500 is much closer to the JRDG 312 power amp than to the sound of the 201 or 501 monoblock amplifiers. | |
| Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings Ahah Dave! I am so glad I am not just 'hearing things'. . . I wander if rapid temporary de-conditioning upon component deactivation is a peculiarity of low temperature components in general, or is it peculiar to JRDG? I do not have enough experien... | |
| Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings Hi Sflazor, you will find some of my preliminary findings toward the top of this thread. . . . however I am still evaluating and do not have a definitive answer yet. Still doing some listening and will keep everyone updated. For one thing, both Ca... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? If Mk2 is even better than what I heard last fall, it must be a wonderful device indeed. I am sure that Simon will post here some official info on the Mk.2 update before long. | |
| Rowland PC1 PFC on Capri pre early findings I have just learned of a few instances of audiophiles and dealers blowing fuses and frying components because they connected a PC1 without reading the instruction card. Only JRDG devices having autosense power supplies and having no Power Factor C... | |
| PC for Rowland 312 and others? JFZ, I am not at all surprised you like the Elrod. . . what other PCs have you tried on your JRDG? What were the sonic differences? | |
| PC for Rowland 312 and others? Some more info on Cardas Golden Ref vs Purist Anniversary test on 312:I baselined this test by keeping Anaconda on X-01 and a Cardas Golden Ref on PC1+Capri.I then played with my 2nd Cardas Golden Ref and Purist Anniv on 312. purist has 20Amp IEC ... |
