| Wanting to simplify my system ...... Never having fully understood the lust for tube sound, I will nonetheless suggest the Jeff Rowland Design Group's Continuum S2 integrated amplifier. It is powerful, compact, beautiful and delicious. I was heavily influenced by Roy Gregory's review... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Onhwy61 expressed my feelings on the matter perfectly.As I have watched this thread expand explosively to almost 100 reponses in 6 days, I keep wondering why there is so much being said about an amorphous, uncalibrated, utterly subjective and unim... | |
| New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ?? If only those guys at Yamaha knew what tweakers know about getting the most out of their equipment!They were able to design an excellent integrated amp in the case of the A-S2000 but came up just short of maxing it out by overlooking the miracles ... | |
| New Yamaha a-s3000 and a-s2100 integrated amps ?? My A-S2000 began sounding better than any amp ever made in the future as soon as I aimed it north and put Bolivian coffee grounds on the shelf under it. Uncanny!!!I tried Colombian and Ethiopian grounds without an overwhelming improvement. What is... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Bo1972 - Aren't you spreading your energy unnecessarily by talking to us. I think it highly improbable that anyone here is apt to become your customer.And it appears clear to me that you will learn nothing from us. So why do you persist in imposin... | |
| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 I'm not sure how it matches up against the above suggestions but I had a Marsh preamp about 10 years ago that performed very well for the money. It did come with a remote which you need to keep in mind when considering older models.Marsh had a goo... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Wolf -We should deal with Bo 1972 somewhat compassionately. He appears to be performing his shtick mechanically and sincerely. Kinda brings to mind Jethro Bodine reciting his gazintas. There he is,tall and proud, just beaming ear to ear as he reel... | |
| Advantages of monoblocks I just recently moved from using a Jeff Rowland Capri preamp and Ncore 400 monos to a Jeff Rowland Continuum S2 integrated. The improvement has been enormous and the decision, about which I was very concerned, has proven to be a very good one. Jus... | |
| primaluna gear, avalon eidolon speakers, cardas Bo1972 - While it is quite possible that you are more convincing in your native tongue, I have to say that you seem like an empty and redundant blowhard in English. I'm quite accustomed to conversing with the actual equipment designers and their e... | |
| What separates should I use for my vandersteen 1c? Buy a used pair of NC400 mono amps for around $1800 and the balanced preamp of your choice. I have been using a Jeff Rowland Capri with mine. It mates very well. The performance level you will experience comes within a short distance of the finest... | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? Working people have been steadily losing ground for 30 years. Our rights and protections are steadily eroding at the hands of a ruthless plutocracy. What is in place to prevent my predictions from actually happening? It can happen here. I know thi... | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? I wish I could share your optimism about the near future. The trajectory I see has us fully indentured and thoroughly under control of the plutocrats who are taking control of everything from the Supreme Court to the food sources. DNA and GPS will... | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? No music allowed on the plantation. | |
| Rowland service Jeff Rowland is not quite 63 years old and has taken very good care of himself for all of the 35 years I've known him. Worries about his demise are premature at best. Nonetheless, knowing that, I called and had a catching up chat with Kelly Ballar... | |
| Where R U????? Are any Agoners anywhere near 81521? Been here 14 years and I seem to be pretty much alone. Lots of activity over the hill in Denver/Boulder but nothing stirring in these parts that I'm aware of. |
