New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Hi Claude, your info and my own coincide .... I also heard about 725 towards year end, and 925 at an undefined time after that.Guido 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Claude, I have heard such an unconfirmed rumor as well .... But I have no idea of what changes there might be in the aledged new Criterion version. Does anyone have any info? G. 
esoteric x-05 player
I have happily own an Esoteric X-01 Limited for several years. I must echo the need of 1000+ hours of break-in with Esoteric players before they stabilize and give you what they are truly capable of. You will really have no idea if the sound is fo...

Added Jeff Rowland M625: 300 Watts stereo class A/B high bias amp. Guido 
Good CD for testing bass response
Chris, problem with testing bass response with percussion only is that the sound is somewhat unpitched. You may also want to try some well pitched bass lines.... for example, the Edgar Meyer performance on double bass of Bach's prelude from the ce...

BabyBear, Harold Camping has just announced a 5 months reprieve on the end of the world. You and I have another full 5 months to repent from our sins of audiophilic lust ... October 21st ... more/less at the end of RMAF 2011 I suspect. By that tim...

Krell888, the info from your singapore dealer is very close to the mark. JRDG is preparing to release a bridgeable amplifier seemingly housed in the same chassis as M625. Being bridgeable, one would be able to run the device as stereo, or as a pai... 
What preamp & power amp to buy?
There may be an even newer Rowland amp then M625 coming our way. Last I heard it may be a bridgeable version of M625 with a different model number ... operable both in stereo and mono configuration. Probably same chassis as M625. I have no hard in...

Isvaldo, M625 yields 550W at 4 Ohms, 300W at 8 Ohms. Idle power consumption is 100W. Standby power consumption appears to be 1W.G.

Husk, I have no direct experience with Corus. However, Corus and Criterion have very similar gain characteristics. G.

Jackson, turning up volume to about 80 or more is normal on Criterion. At 80 you have not even reached unity gain. 
Rowland 625
Claude, you are absolutely correct.... For example, using my standard test track of the Old Castle piece by Dvorak played by Inna Poroscina, M312 induces a piano image wider/taller than M625 ... However, M625's staging/imaging is more coherent ......

Hi Isvaldo, I do love GamuT products, and have in fact already have reviewed their CD3 for PFO ... I am sure I will review more GamuT products in the future.You have just stirred my interest in ElectroCompaniet. I'll try to audition ElectroCompani...

Isvaldo, I am glad you are enjoying Electrocompaniet AW250R. Unfortunately, as I have never auditioned AW250R, I have absolutely no idea if I would enjoy it more than JRDG M625. Over the years, I have realized that my guesswork has often been disa...
