Just heard from Dan. .. Prob turned out to be caused by imperfectly seated PC. . . I make the same error all the time. . . and invariably panic as well. G. 
New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Thank you Raquel, one difference in the output stage between Coherence I and II appears to be--according to the copies of the manuals I have--that the older varsion had an output impedance of 300Ohms unbalanced and 600Ohms balanced, while verion I...

Raquel, Is your Coherence an II or an I series II? Guido 
Jeff Roland Capri
I just checked the Capri manual. Seems the fuses are internal. I will call the factory on Monday and will find out. Have you blown a fuse on Capri? I have used a Capri for about a year and a half and have never experienced an issue. As Capri has a...

Claude, I do not have complete information, but it is apparently correct that JRDG has unwrapped a new preamplifier at CES. The device is called Corus (that is correct--Latin spelling). It seems it is very similar to Criterion, except that it lack... 
Is Belles 350A amp fully balanced in mono?
You should call Belles at:  585-586-0740 
Ayre KX-R or Krell 202 with Martin Logans
Yet, you must have a sonic goal. . . KX-R is a revealing balanced design with a sound that is somewhat forward and a little too trebly for my prefs. I prefer very controlled sound with strong harmonic development and without traces of intermodulat... 
Ayre KX-R or Krell 202 with Martin Logans
Before we make any suggestions, you may want to tell us the rest of your system, including brands/models of source, current preamplifier, amplifier(s), and speakers. . . what genres of music you enjoy listening, what sound your system is producing...

Thank you Brazcole.. . I fear I will not make music but only horrid squeals. . . for many many months. I suspect the music from my system may evolve more rapidly than the music I'll be able to produce on the flugel (grins).

Merry Christmas all.. . hope everyone is having a Very Musical One! No Rowland gear under my virtual Xmas tree. . . but a little Dillon flugelhorn is being manufactured with 'my name on it.' . . hope it gets shipped soon. If anyone were curious. .... 
Choice of amplifier
Gavetti, it appears that the Extrema may have a variable impedance that dips as low as 4 Ohms, with a nominal value that is 5 Ohms if I recall correctly. This suggests that an amplifier with a high output damping factor may yield very good results... 
Bel Canto Power Supply change to 230V? How?
You should contact the Bel canto support group by email or by phone. See:http://belcantodesign.com/Belcanto_contact_main.htmlThey are bound to supply you with more reliable information on voltage changes for Bel Canto gear than any of us on Audiog...

If past history is a valid indicative of future trends, I speculate that CD players may not be among JRDG 2010 announcements. 
JRDG Capri & mod. 112
Marco, the Capri phono card is also used on the Continuum 500 and Continuum 250 integrated amplifiers. I am not a vinyl user, but al reports I have had this far, from the US and from Italy alike, suggest that the phono card is exceptional. Guido 
JRDG Capri & mod. 112
Marco, your English is just fine. I have had considerable experience with Capri. . . not driving JRDG 112, but driving JRDG Model 312 and Model 7M. Capri has very low output impedance of only 80 Ohms in balanced mode, and can drive just about anyt...
