| The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK Dtanclim, some of the new JRDG products are being shown at the Munich show this weekend. But I believe they are in a static display. I have no reports yet on the sound of Model 925 and Model 625 amps. G. | |
| Finding a Power Cord that sounds great I have reviewed the wonderful Furutech Flux power cords on PFO. You'll find my observations at:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue47/furutech.htmThe PCs that I have enjoyed the most are the ones I am using right now. . . Shunyata King Cobra CX. I h... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII or Accuphase A-20 Jaspert, thank you for expressing your opinion. I have spent some time investigating design differences between the 2 versions, by pouring over published materials, talking with Jonathan Scull, and talking with John stronczer who designed both uni... | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 HER1, I am delighted you enjoyed Burmester 001. The dealer where I heard side-by-side TEAC Esoteric X-01 and Burmester 001 was Sound By Singer in NYC. I have heard Bermester 001 a couple more times since then: unfortunately I have not changed my m... | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Apologies, I have never heard of an Esoteric product variant called X-01L. Tell us more. G. | |
| Bulk cables: Oyaide vs Furutech Hi Glai, I have used Furutech High End Performance series bulk wires with great results (PCs, ICs, speaker wires), until I later migrated to Furutech Flux, and more recently to Shunyata King Cobra CX. The Furutech High End Perf have easily exceede... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas, thank you so much for the additional information. Anything you can tell us about wiring, XLR vs RCA, and the rest of the system's electronics?G. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Mapman, you are correct of course, the sound of Ref 500M appears to differ from Reff 1000M to some extent. Yet, I am not sure if the reason is simply the different series of power conversion module, or it's a mix of design, module series character... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Thank you Weseixas, could you post the exact system configuration you used in the test, including cabling/PCs complement? If you already have, my apologies.How long had the 2 amplifiers been warmed up before being inserted into the active/live aud... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Bill, inadvertently you have used a term that can be interpreted as a remark "ad hominem".. .From the American heritage Dictionary:1. disingenuous. adjective. Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating: "an ambitious, disingenuous, ph... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII or Accuphase A-20 Metronet, I have heard Mk.1 and 2 side by side. Mk.2 is more extended and transparent with a little more harmonic development. Mk.2 has a little cleaner treble and is a little more linear in bass. Mk.2 has also higher input impedance, so it is com... | |
| Bel Canto Ref1000 MkII or Accuphase A-20 Metronet, you can conduct a valid comparison of Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk.2 against one particular class A amp, but a generic comparison of a single class D amp against the entire class A group is not possible. . . there are enormous differences betwe... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Weseixas, which Bel Canto monos did you try? . . . Ref 1000, Ref 1000M(same as Ref 1000 Mk.2), Ref 500M? Did the Bel Canto have at least 1000 hours of music to its credit? ICEpower amps require an inordinate breakin time, while your vintage Thresh... | |
| Rowland 501 PC-1 into Audience aR12 Thank you Dtanclim, I do readily admit of being extremely partial about my Rowland Model 312 amp. Let me know more after you return from Montreal. Guido | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? From the Rowland side you can likely add: Model 501 monos + twin PC-1 rectifiers, Continuum 500 integrated, Model 312 stereo, Model 301 monos. 301 Yields 90Amps peak per chassis. . . Other models half as much. 501s works best front-ended by PC-1, ... |
