| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre If they exceed the music performance of JRDG 312, currently my favorite amplifier regardless of underlying technology, I will be extremely impressed. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Thank you Macro, your source is impeccable. . . I suspect this is just a matter of subtly different wording. . . not terribly important. . . truth is we haven't heard these devices yet. . . can't wait to find out how they sound. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Macro, The units at CES were powered, but not connected in system. FCS is still tentative. Power rating is still undergoing finalization. I source info from JRDG.Claude, 312 is certainly a marvellous product, but it is now almost 4 years old. . . ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Just dredged up some more info. . .Corus is companion product of 625.625 is not exactly a replacement for 312. The 312 amp -- which is no longer in production -- will eventually be replaced by a class A/B stereo amp called 825, for which there is ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Braz, I will definitely post any listening observations about the new JRDG amps when I get my hands on one. . . we'll see if it is a 625 or a 925. Guido | |
| amp/preamp to complement Vienna Acoustics? Nile49, Vienna speakers are deceptively hard to drive. . . their nominal sensitivity is a little of a 'false promise' of smooth sailing. In reality they have a little bit of a wild impedance curve and work best with powerful amplification that yie... | |
| The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK Claude, Rowland had some new Avalon speakers in the suite, but these were not connected to the new amps. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Claude, the interesting comparison will be between 312 and 625. . . 501 uses a generally more basic design without PFC in the front end, and its sound lacks the subtlety of 312. If 625 exceeds the music performance of 312 it will be a very special... | |
| The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK Hi Rapogee, I was not able to attend CES, but managed to get a little more scant info about the new Rowland products. Here is what little I know for now:925 monoblock amplifier -- 4 chassis balanced design; class A/b; power rating between 450W and... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Claude. . . spoke to JRDG marketing director this morning.. . unless things change, prices are as follows:Corus preamplifier: $10,800;625 stereo: $12,500;925 mono: $48,000 a pair.Note that while 625 and 925 are class A/B, 301 remains a top level c... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Clavil, the monster amp is called 925. I still do not know too much about it. . . a 4-chassis design, operating in class A/B, probably with a switch mode power supply and PFC rectification, probable power rating between 500W and 550W per channel. ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Braz, we could argue the fine points of which technology best couples what other technology until we turn blue in the face. . . In reality it does not matter too much at all. . . what matters are only your ears.. . and the particular combination o... | |
| Jeff Roland Capri Fabulous. . . I might end up applying his results to my JRDG Criterion. G. | |
| Jeff Roland Capri All's well that ends well. . . (grins!) . . . but the topic of fuses brings an interesting twist. . . has anyone played with high quality aftermarket fuses on Capri? . . . Care sharing results with us? Thanks, Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Thank you Raquel. . . looks like the manuals are a little vague in that case. . . they talk about "direct coupling" what ever that means. . . your updated and correct info on the subject is very much appreciated BTW. Now on Corus, Capri, and Crite... |
