Review: Jeff Rowland Design Concentra mkIIp Amplifier
At the time, I had Wilson Sophia speakers, very nice VPI turntable, transparent cables, and Sony scd-1 SACD player. Even Jeff himself admitted that the concentra 2 was made by McCormick inside; he only made the case. Concentra 1 sounded super smoo... 
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
I feel really sorry for all of you who actually believe all the marketing BS and the so-called reviews in these magazines by people that are being paid off in one way or the other in order to write them. Before you buy something like this, you rea... 
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
First, I think they look like trash receptacles. I owned a pair of Wilson, Sophia‘s back in 2004 and I never kept a component such a short period of time before I sold it. I listened to the new watt puppies last year and I thought they were very b... 
Review: Jeff Rowland Design Concentra mkIIp Amplifier
For your information, I personally owned both the concentra 1 and the 2. The 1 sound smooth but boring and somewhat dark. The 2 was more lively but grainy sounding. So before you put your foot in your mouth again, understand the circumstances. I o... 
Martin Logan Ascenti's or the new Vista. Help
Vista was garbage and disappeared very fast  
The best looking speakers
You guys talk about WAF. What happened to real men? why would you `kowtow to any woman. She is lucky to have you. If she can’t accept your interests and speakers, she should get lost. WAF makes me sick. MAN UP!!!!!  
So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued?
For electronics in the main system I am using a McIntosh c2200 pre and an MC402 amp with Martin Logan SL3 
So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued?
Well guess what, the 28c is exactly what I had. It didn’t play SACD and it sounded average on redbook cd. I hated the plastic drawer. Highly recommended for what? For a junk sale in someone’s garage? I am still using my Sony scd 777esd which sound... 
Martin Logan Ascenti's or the new Vista. Help
I am auditioning them now with a Mac mc 402 and c 2200 preamp. I hate them. They sound like home theatre speakers, not for 2 channel purist audio. Too much bang, boom, sizzle. The new panel is more revealing on the high end which will make your ba... 
Nashville TN
It's hard to believe there isn't but I would be interested in starting one and I could sure use some friends who are audiophiles like me. If you are, feel free to contact me at ovature@yahoo.com 
Martin Logan Ascent i vs. Odyssey
I had the Ascent and Odyssey too. Ascent was too weak in the bass. I didn't like the integration of the bass driver and stat on the odyssey. I ended up with the Wilson Sophia instead. 
How do you get to listen to high end speakers?
Sound components...........the worst dealer I ever dealt with, nasty, stuck up, don't give a damm. Stay away from them 
ML333 VS Concentra II
only the case is built well on the concentra 2. The inside is made of mediocre components with a big no name power supply. Take the top off and have a look. Mine died in less than 3 months. The original concentra was beautifully built inside. The ... 
So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued?
I had to get 3 units until I got one that worked right, so the last unit came straight from Krell; maybe it was 18 lbs. The workmanship on this cast series pre-amp and 28c is NOT as good as some of their other products were. The fit and finish was... 
So why was the Krell KPS 28c discontinued?
The only Krell dealer was not going to stock the product 28c, so I took a chance. And yes, I was mad at myself for making such an expensive purchase without an audition. I only learned after I owned the product about Krell's history with digital a...
