| Jeff Rowland Pre-Amps: The Corus & The Capri I'll just mention this and let you do the research. The Rowland Continuum S2 integrated amp is unimaginably good. I replaced a Capri and a pair of Hypex NCore 400 monos and was amazed by the upgrade. Before my purchase I was very persuaded by the ... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile Patrickrealtor76 appeared to be asking for advice for himself or a friend as to how to maximize a listening experience on a limited budget. He seemed sincere and asked politely. So what do some of you do? You choose to mock him for having a puny b... | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? Of course the 1994 amps sound better - they've had 20 years of break-in. Just wait until they've been in service for 50 years. They will be so broken in they will be better than a live performance. | |
| Jeff Rowland Synergy 2i + BPS2 v/s Coherence 2 Rowland seems like the kind of company that only moves forward. Therefore I would conclude that newer designs are better. Something I've noticed about Jeff's stuff is that the innovations trickle down to the less expensive models with each model c... | |
| $1500 for a whole system, budding audiophile Find a used OPPO 105. Have seen them in the $800 - $850 range occasionally. Then buy a pair of KRK Rokit 8 active studio monitors for $500 brand new and run them straight off the OPPO. Mogami balanced patch cords will round out a very impressive $... | |

| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Joecasey - it appears to me that Stringreen was addressing the originator of the thread, not you. Perhaps if you read the whole thread and allowed for the possibility that it was not all about you, the same opinion would have kept you from embarra... | |

| end of an era ...... BIF - I have been a practicing audio haruspex for nearly 20 years and, until today, had no idea there was a title for the practice, much less the potential for ordination in my field. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. To date my prognostic... | |
| end of an era ...... Everything in hi-end audio is dying. The rate of decay varies depending on how the outfit you are citing is set up and what kind of products it sells. No matter how you slice it though, the tree is dead. If it continues at all beyond my lifetime, ... | |
| end of an era ...... Expect to see a lot more of this over the next dozen years. A great number of small companies are going to decide that it just isn't paying anymore. Or they will just decide they are too old to continue. And some will be absorbed by Harmon type co... | |
| Why did you choose a horn based loudspeaker? I have conical horns which none of that honking, shouty stuff so many always mention. It is important to know that horns vary. Some designs sound much better than others. For me voice is the best benchmark of a speakers reproductive accuracy. We c... | |
| Speakers for Coffee Shop I would look into KRK studio monitors. These are active speakers and should receive a balanced signal. If you can find an older preamp such as a Marsh with phono on board and a remote, you will stay well under budget. Of course, that depends on ho... | |
