| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Cdc -- I'm not familiar with any of those products but it sounds like you answered my question. I see Rowland's stuff as somewhat timeless like a Porsche but, cool as the old Speedster may still be, anything made today would run circles around it.... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Jfz, That may be their intention but sadly, they aren't going anywhere. What a bummer to have a $5800 amp that draws no takers at $2200. That's only 38% of retail on something that is still just like new. Look at the pictures of these amps in the ... | |
| Goldmund Dialogue Speakers Ad010685,Thanks for the guidance. Apparently the owner's manual does not contain much useful info, so you have helped me to put this curiosity to rest. Which country do you live in? I am in the US.What speakers are worthy of your Goldmund electron... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Jond,A friend of mine sold his Twelves on Agon and bought the 302 a while back and he says it is a quantum leap forward. He'a using Quad 989s and the Lindemann D-680 CD player with Nordost Valhalla throughout so you can see he is aware.There can b... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Yes, Tater, you are supposed to be impressed. Please tell me in whole sentences why Jeff's award winning site doesn't impress you. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Jond,Your request that I omit the Dead from this thread is fair and reasonable and I will honor it since I believe the Grateful Dead, like other religions should be a "don't ask, don't tell" sort of thing. What's your theory about the equipment glut? | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Tater, honey,I hold little hope for you as a result of reading your petulant anti-Rowland rantings. You can't or won't spell the man's name correctly and you have not as yet betrayed any knowledge upon which you might reject his fine amplifiers. I... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Asa,Don't be fooled by my misanthropic diatribes. I'm a believer in the pendulum theory and feel strongly that we'll recover from our greed cycle. People are stupid in their low level reflexes, what with tying yellow ribbons for Buffoon 1 and bera... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? jrd -- I agree completely that all myths contain a kernel of truth. In the case of the Dead, Harley and McIntosh those kernels are old and dried up. Rowland is still vital and emerging where the sun has set on the others and only nostalgia or igno... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Incidentally, I think it unlikely that any of you little boys would want a Harley if it didn't make noise. If not for U.S. government intervention, market forces would have eliminated HD years ago. They can't compete fairly with the Japanese as th... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Can't speak of other markets but audio has been experiencing attrition for 10 years or more. Some of us have died and others have lost jobs, lost interest or succumbed to divorce, computer or home theater distractions or insufficient funds to cont... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? jrd,I have no idea if Mac sells well through all kinds of weather but I think using Harley as an analogy is prescient in that neither particularly excels at anything but both have captured the imagination of those who have little other cerebral en... | |
| rowland 12 owners Try Tom Evans Vibe preamp, Lindemann D-680 CD player and Nordost Valhalla cables. | |
| Best set-up for up to 9k retail? TWL-I've read your comments sporadically for 2 years along with everyone else's and you have distinguished yourself sufficiently in my mind to elicit direct email queries from me on numerous occassions.This time I'll pose a question to you for all... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? I just sold a Concentra to buy a Concentra 2 so I'm one of the people selling Rowland.In my experience on Audiogon there are favorite brands that carry the day for a time and Pass is enjoying that now. Krell seems to have fallen from favor in the ... |
