| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche, I am not familiar with the Blue Yonder.... I am thinking that before you go for the swap, you give the cable an in depth audition.... In general it does take 300 to 500 hours for a new IC to yield its best.In the end, you will be able... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi RinPoche, is the M625 your own unit now, or is it a demo that you need to return to Angie, and then will receive your own unit in the new year?Sorry... Slightly confused. Guido | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Yes, all Rowland components have been differentially balanced for the last 25 years or so. All components use XLR connectors. Most of them also have | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC From an experiential point of view, I found Nordost Valhalla II, Shunyata Z-tron and CX, Cardas Clear Beyond, as well as Furutech Evo II and bulk wires to be "goldielockian"... That is, the wires are extended, musical, have significant harmonic ex... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche, here are some pointers about wire products with Rowland gear.Jeff Rowland in his factory's demo system uses almost exclusively Cardas Clear and Clear Beyond, as well as Nordost Odin II. Internally, all Rowland products are wired with ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche, looks like you are a real lover of music instead of an obsessive audiophile... Stay the course... Enjoy the magic of music... And do not fall prey to Upgraditis Furiosa -- an extreme form of Audiophrenia Nervosa, whose perils are disc... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi RinPoche, Richard of course is correct. If your M625 S2 is factory-fresh, you can expect it to evolve for as much of 1500 hours.It is quite likely that during the first 500 hours or so you might experience days in which the sound is strangely a... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Congratulation Rinpoche, I knew you would love M625 S2... And an early Happy Birthday to you as well... on the 4th of July if all days!Saluti, Guido | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC My aplogies Inna, I really have no experience what so ever shopping oriental bazars, so I have no idea about negotiation practices therein. Want to help me with that next time I have the opportunity?Conversely, I have negotiated all my musical pur... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi again Rinpoche, "problem" is that by listening to M625 S2 you have set your reference point very high. I suspect that if you get any other amp, including Continuum S2, you will place yourself onto a path of regrets and second guessing yourself,... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi Rinpoche, in the Rowland field, there is also the Continuum S2 integrated. I ssuspect its cost in Canada might be 60% to 65% of M625 S2. CS2 is an absolutely marvellous sounding amp... Approximately 400W per channel. I heard it several times at... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Al is correct, Aeris has only digital inputs. According to the factory, the best input on Aeris may be the SPDIF/coax inputs... And that I waht I use, with Aeris fed by an Esoteric X-01 used as transport only... Fab sound.But for all I hear, OPPO ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Thank you Facten, you are absolutely correct. I was merely pointing out that not only Nirvana is perfectly achievable with SS preamplifiers instead of tubed ones... But the complete abscence of a preamplifier in the chain need not be a limiting fa... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Congrats Rinpoche for your preliminary selection.Just in case Angie does not have the Rowland M625 S2 Manual yet, you can quickly download it from my Dropbox public folder....https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/53640097/JRDG_M625_S2_MANUAL_REVA1.p... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hi rinpoche, I echo the recommendation to postpone any cable quest until you have selected your amplifier and broken it in to perfection. If you fiddle with cables prior to the equipment having stabilized completely, you are bound to get results t... |
