| JR Concentra II - GAIN + LOAD settings phono modul JDRG uses the same board for each channel. This means that if you look carefully you will notice that the board in the right channel is upside down. Set your left channel first according to the diagram and then duplicate the settings on the right ... | |
| Phono stage in vintage Marantz? I think Rcprince is right. If you feel the sound of the line stage is great, you will be thrilled with the phono section.The level of performance is always restricted by the least performer in the chain and the Marantz phono section is no doubt it... | |
| People who are Irrationally Afraid of tube amps Dogs are nice but getting one is a lifestyle decision. Tubes need to be viewed the same way. When I was much younger, no effort or compromise was too great in pursuit of the absolute sound. I've since receded in my dedication to that pursuit. Toda... | |
| Madrigal Mark Levinson out of business. Depressing to see our little circle of dedicated hobbyistsexploited by corporate maneuvering but we must reap what we sow. Supporting large corporations never seems to benefit us. Levinson has gone the way of Marantz, McIntosh, Fisher and many oth... | |
| Rowland 201 mono's, has anyone heard them? I'm amazed there isn't a lot more buzz about these amps on Audiogon. They appear to be a breakthrough item and they are from Jeff Rowland, not Bob Carver. JRDG is not a gimmick company and their Model 302 has created a major stir among those who c... | |
| Jeff Rowland - Model 10 amp - 120/240 switchable? Try these people -- I'm sure they can answer this question and any others you might have. www.jeffrowland.com/index1.htm I've had good luck with them. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Pmkalby,Delighted to have you weigh in on this topic. I agree that those who speak negatively about Rowland gear are likely doing so from a position of ignorance. To my way of thinking, Jeff Rowland has contributed more to the advancement of the H... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile You're welcome, Z. Do you subscribe?I hadn't seen the publication for a few years when this year a friend who took advantage of a twofer deal sent me a subscription for Christmas. It has declined to the point of self parody. It says the same thing... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Whknopp713 -- You would be well served to dismiss Stereophile altogether and gleen your knowledge from these forums. The quality of suggestion will vary, of course, but the guidance will be good and the ability to know what is useful and what is n... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Eldragon -- Mine was just another opinion -- much like the ones that Stereophile offers -- though mine was considerably less couched. Personally I don't see any credibility in their publication but those who respect it enough to do as they are TOL... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Zaikesman -- Timbre submitted their well made, beautifully packaged and technically astute DAC to TAS who placed it in the hands of Jonathan Scull for review. He then jumped ship and became an S-phile reviewer. This made little difference as he lo... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Sorry Ferd,I can't buy that. I've been a manufacturer seeking a review. I've been to HQ in Santa Fe. I've been wined and dined by JA and Tom Norton. Then I've been called repeatedly and hounded for advertising by Laura Atkinson. Stereophile and Bo... | |
| I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile Stereophile is a waste of raw material. What you're seeing is grade inflation. That's how they managed to find products that were better than class A.I went to a gas station recently that didn't sell "regular" gas. The choices were:Premium, Extra ... | |
| More questions from Chris L. Bravo -- A convert.You needn't go for separates to start out. There are integrated amps from NAD and some of the British companies and speakers from NHT that won't cost you any more than you were planning to spend on the Best Buy option. Where do ... | |
| More questions from Chris L. It seems like everybody is saying what I know to be true. JBL is mass media crap. In fact, if it wasn't, Best Buy wouldn't carry it.The attraction for you appears to be the discount and the message I'm hearing from your wise and patient respondent... |
