| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? No, not 1000 watts, but they will drive anything to any volume. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/h2o/m250.html | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Actually, they are Apogee Divas. They flanked Mozart's piano, giving voice to recordings made on that piano. It is just that the Scintilla gave all Apogees a bad name as amp eaters. This is not so. | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. Scarcity, I would think, have kept the two apart. The 300 Rowland series are seriously expensive. There are few of them about. There are even fewer H2O Signatures around. I, for one, would be very happy to pit my H2O Signatures against any Rowland... | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. Has anyone read the 6Moons review on the H2O Signature that is up now? Hold your wallet until you do. http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/h2o/m250.html | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? H2O Signatures, and Apogee Scintilla, a match made in heaven. | |
| Name some full range speakers. The venerable Apogee Scintilla, and Apogee Full Range, both straight-line through the 20 hZ barrier, and remain musical all the way. | |
| Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct So there you have it. Frankly, it doesn't surprise me. System synergy is important. I have stated it before, when one enters the realm of the H2O, one has bought into a system change, as well. Those who are particularly fond of going direct to the... | |
| What class "D" Amps Excel at inner detail Henry knows his H2O has gone up against the JC-1. One thing to remember, the JC-1 hangs on to a class A rating only to the 25th watt. My former Pass X600 was good for the first 150 watts. The H2O puts out 45 amp. of current. That is considerably m... | |
| Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct There is no reason Henry won't be in business for many years to come. He is doing what he loves to do. I know DS has a LoRad. I think the Belden will sound better. :) | |
| Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct Kana, with that attitude, we'd still be listening to Magnavox consoles. | |
| Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct Semantics. If we just call the ICE module "analog." people will think it's just another transistor amp. Frankly, the H2O stands apart from both the 201/501, and 300 series amps. It's hard to find info about the ICE modules used. Looking at the 201... | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. Semi, The 501, and the 201 Rowlands are much the same amp, with the 501 suitable for heavier loads. According to several owner reports, the two versions sound similar. The Rowland 300 series amps are of a different cloth. They are a good jump in s... | |
| Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct All class D amps, including Rowland amps, would benefit from shielded cables. I bought Shunyata Snakebites, for the amps. For my other components, I made up some cords using 12 GA Belden cord in bulk. I think, with plugs, that all came to about $3... | |
| Rowlands vs. Levinson Amps. The Rowlands are ICE based amps. Done right, ICE can sound like the better part of tubes. Having a digital switching power supply, as does the 201, is the wrong way to go about it, IMHO. For the same money, you can get the best of the Rowland's IC... | |
| Ayre or Rowland Amp? Bob, that sounds like a good start to use with the H2O. BTW, the H2O sigs will be featured at the NY HE Show at the end of next month. They will be powering Analysis ribbon speakers. I'm flying from California for that one. |
