| Power Cord for Battery Operation ie, JRDG BS-8 I certainly don't think so, but I never tried anything other than the stock cords when I had my battery powered Rowland Model Sixes. However, I did notice a big improvement when I switched out the stock Cardas umbilical cords on my Rowland Model T... | |
| Up Next... Power Liine Conditioners, DACs and DSPs See my comments at http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1014735064&openflup&9&4#9 and http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/general/messages/179146.html regarding the Platinum Power PP-1. | |
| Line Conditioners You really owe it to yourself to check out the Platinum Power PP-1 (see http://tnt-audio.com/accessories/platinum-pp1_e.html and call Gary at Esoteric Audio in Scottsdale 480-946-8128 to see if he can get you one on approval). I've had mine for ov... | |
| Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp Just want to add my particular experience in contrast to Cornfedboy. I owned the Sixes with battery supply, before I did extensive auditioning of the 112, the 10 and ultimately bought the 12's. My experience on my Vandy Fives was that I preferred ... | |
| Jeff Rowland 112 Jeff designed the original Model Sevens using SoundLab A-1s. If I didn't use my Vandy Fives with the Model Twelves, the only other speaker I would probably be interested in would be SoundLab speakers. | |
| Basis Model 2100 vs Michell Orbe SE II Tazuser: Call Garth at 5104200379. He's the Basis and Clearaudio distributor, and can tell you all you need to know about Basis. He is very knowledgeable. | |
| Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp Have not heard the 8T1, but used to own a pair of 7's. I auditioned the 112 and the 10 extensively for my Vandersteen Fives before going with the Model 12's monoblocks. The Sevens have a sonic characteristic that shot Rowland to the top some 15 or... | |
| Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference? Would you be willing to specify which commercial power cords you have auditioned and under what circumstances (specifics as to the system in which you tried them). The web is replete with hundreds, if not thousands, of comments like yours - usuall... | |
| Basis Model 2100 vs Michell Orbe SE II Have not heard the Orbe, but owned the 2100 and was extremely happy with it. I've since upgraded to the 2500 and my ultimately go to the Debut V. Basis allows full retail credit on all trade-ins for upgrade.Having said all that, after seeing (not ... | |
| Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference? If your considering power cords, you absolutely owe it to your self to try either the HSR-A(II) from TG Audio. I have not heard the HSR Silver, but have one on order for audition, and have heard nothing but rave comments on it. | |
| Jeff Rowland 112 From my 15 years of experience with Rowland and Vandersteen products, I can tell you that any Vandersteen speaker would be a great match. | |
| Seeking advice re: complex power conditioning You really ought to check this out: http://tnt-audio.com/accessories/platinum-pp1_e.html. I've owned this unit for over two years, run all of my source equipment off of it and my Rowland Model 12 mono blocks. It does amazing things and does nothin... | |
| Turntable suggestions? I started with a Basis 1400 and Origin Live Modified RB250 (within your price range). As I could afford it, I upgraded the Basis table and received full retail credit from Basis for the one I traded in. I am now up to the 2500. My next upgrade wil... | |

| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland I am a long-time Rowland fanatic, currently owning the Model Twelves. I spent a long time auditioning the Model 10 and it is a wonderful amp. I think most of the advice you have gotten above in good, but I would especially single out the post by S... |
