Merrill Audio VERITAS Amps: Any other experiances?
As a long time fan of well implemented class D, I am delighted that the new class D technology is making strides in popularity... There, I did have to say something in order to subscribe... So there! *grins!* 
Elrod statement vs Shunyata anaconda zitrons
Jonchew38, what I look in any audio component, from cabling, to electronics, to speakers, are products that reveal those hidden details in the sound that convey the emotion in music. So.... I am a lover of frequency extension but not of bass/midra... 
Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives?
Hi No1willfan. You are right, I was very surprised as well that the G-0S clock made any difference on K-01, let alone a marked difference. On the other hand, to say it with Igor Stravinsky... I tend to judge the tree by its fruits, not by its root... 
Pre-amp for Rowland Model 102
Excellent question JL.... I have no idea if JRDG has plans for upgrading current Capri to S2 status, or even if it is feasible. I will add this to a list of questions that I need to pose To the Rowland factory.

D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Hi AudioZen, I readily admit that am extremely fond of the creations of both Jeff Rowland and John Stronczer of Bel Canto.... Fact is that these people are true audio electronic engineers and audio circuit designers, rather than modders. Class D p... 
Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives?
Hi No1willfan, I operated K-01 in a balanced configuration. Did you operate K-01 in balanced or single ended mode? It might make a difference. I would like to have also your observations about K-01 with the DSD engine.... Oddly enough, that was my... 
Best Integrated, period.
Hi AudioZen, by coincidence, I just received some info yesterday about the new Rowland Continuum Sereies 2 integrated amp. Like the old Continuum 500, CS2 it is based on a class D design, but Continuum S2 is designed around new technology power co... 
Unsatisfied with Esoteric K-01: Alternatives?
Hi No1willfan, I found that K-01 sounds very different, depending on filters and upsampling, ranging from slightly "matter of fact" to sweetly tube-like. I also discovered that each filter appears to be implemented on its own piece of silicon logi... 
Pre-amp for Rowland Model 102
Rowland has just announced at CES the Capri Series 2 preamp, which will replace the original Capri, and should share the same form factor. Like the original Capri, Capri S2 supports an optional phono card.... but will also be available preconfigur...

D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Hi AudioZen, as far as I know, Continuum S2 will be priced in mid $9K for its basic version, and will still shy below $10K for the versions that incorporate the optional DAC card or the optional Phonostage card.I have since learned that the preamp... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
Hi McBuddah, yes please keep us posted on how the M2-600M amps break in.... Unless the Abletec modules behave tremendously different from old ICEpower, you may expect a 600 hours to 1200 hours of music making before they reach peak and yield their...

AudioZen, by pure coincidence, I received today some additional specs for the class D Rowland Continuum Series 2 integrated amplifier.CONTINUUM Series 2Integrated Amplifier OUTPUT POWER: 400W @ 8 ohms/800W @ 4 ohmsFREQUENCY RESPONSE: 5 Hz - 70 kHz...
