| What's going on with the audio market? I forgot to mention that living in Colorado gives you legal access to the least expensive, most effective audio tweak I've ever become familiar with. My county is 70% public lands and still remains sparsely populated with just 150,000 people in an... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? There's another category --- me. I'm almost 69 years old (August). I bought my first system in 1973 and I will only buy anything again if it means recapture of funds or significant compactualization of the physical setup. Why? Because I don't have... | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Large Advents for sure because you just never see them at that price. | |
| Vision Acoustics Soloist Monitors I was involved with David Powers in the Vision Acoustics project in the early 1990s. We sold a total of about 80 pairs and received a very positive review from Neil Gader in the Absolute Sound, Issue 91 on page 127.The cabinets were sourced from a... | |
| Jeff Rowland What is the MSRP of a Capri S2 and two 525 amplifiers compared to that of a Continuum S2? | |
| What is the best OTL out there? ZD542 - Have to agree with your endorsement of Ralph Karsten. He's one of the most sincere and gracious people I've ever met in this industry. | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Tubegroover-Yes. No personal experience. But my history with Rick Brown makes me comfortable about conveying his endorsement. | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Check out David Berning. Big splash at the recent Newport show. | |
| Jeff Rowland Preamp is the same. Power amp modules are what you want to investigate. The Continuum S2 has a Pascal power unit. No idea about 525. Why not call Rowland to inquire. | |
| The End Of Big Iron? Jeff Rowland's new Daemon integrated provides 1500 watts per channel. Big enough? I imagine Unsound is referring to the prodigious output of many new class D designs. While they certainly deliver the juice, they are not the massive, back breaking ... | |
| What's with the buyers these days?? Nothing but sharks left in the pool. I've quit swimming here. | |
| Best Integrated, period. In the thread title a request is made for the best integrated amplifier. No consensus will ever be reached on that subject. The one I have been using for the past year is the Jeff Rowland Continuum S2. It is surely the best built and probably the ... | |
| How to clean inside Amps and PreAmps If this is a problem for you, consider my solution. I use Jeff Rowland Design Group S2 integrated amp but the following information applies to most, if not all, of his equipment manufactured in the last 20 years. Rowland gear is sealed - no vents ... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it Start by moving to solid state. Follow that with a complete abandonment of any and all thoughts of mods or upgrades. Then look to buying and using pro gear. Forget about the myth of miracle tweaks and awesome accessories. Consider how you can simp... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. Would you marry a woman based solely on her specs? If you did, It would almost certainly be a brief and costly experience. Audio components are a little easier to get rid of but the sting could be just as bad. It's your money though, so fie away. |
