| Roland Model 6 Monoblocks I owned the Model 6's for three years, and when threads appear regarding Rowland amplification, I write exactly what John wrote in his first paragraph - everything he wrote comports with my experience. I have a few additional comments.Regarding po... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 8Ti or T? You may have already seen the following information on Rowland's website about the Model 8 - it does not address your specific questions, but it does discuss various upgrades to the Model 8: http://www.jeffrowland.com/FAQs.htm#M8 | |
| Billy Cobham's Spectrum Yeah, the CD sounds typically compressed, and given the quality of the album, it really leaves me wanting every time I pull it out. I'll look for the original LP. And too bad Bolin didn't make it - the kid could really play.Many thanks for the input. | |
| Help with final choice of efficient speakers I understand you to seek input from people who have experience with the Devore and Daedalus speakers. If you are open to other speakers, you may wish to consider the Escalante Fremonts. They are a true 93 db. efficient - many people run them with ... | |
| ICE amps vs analog amps for bass Parasound JC-1's for the bass would be like drinking a top-shelf Burgundy with a taco - they're better than your Levinson monoblocks and would sound superb full-range on your Legacy's.You may not have an A/C power supply that's sympathetic to Clas... | |
| A Question About Reviewer Techniques Cyclonicman: Among other things, speaker measurements indicate voltage sensitivity and impedance / phase angles so I know whether my amps will drive a speaker. Information about cabinet vibrations and frequency response plots tell me if the speake... | |
| A Question About Reviewer Techniques The author of the thread has a point and I try to demo equipment with other equipment deemed to be synergistic by the manufacturer (particularly because most brick and mortar shops in my experience no longer care about two-channel equipment and do... | |
| SS Preamp with Tube Amp? As noted by others, there have been a lot of threads on this subject and you should research them.Truly good sounding solid-state preamps, which is to say, the ones that do not sound "solid-state", tend to be very expensive, and I agree with the a... | |
| revel salon2 room size You have a pretty decent-sized room and a lot of cubic feet. The question is not whether the B&W's would work in a room of that size (definitely yes), but whether you might have a problem with the Revels. Again the answer is yes - the original... | |
| speakers that rock Speakers that rock? I presume you mean "speakers that rock other than powered speakers and horns". Many speakers have headroom and don't compress, for example, my old Revel Salons and Vienna Acoustics Mahlers, but in order for a speaker to really ... | |
| which temporary inexpensive phono preamp It depends upon your definition of "inexpensive", but I would look for an Audible Illusions 3A (with moving coil card), which can frequently be found for $650-$750 or so. | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? I did not purchase the "very same equipment" - I own a Coherence II preamp (since 2003), a Cadence phono stage (since 2000), and owned the battery-powered Model 6 monoblocks. I owned the original version of the Mahlers - I do not know which versio... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? A curious thread to the extent that only Larryi has addressed any of the downsides of higher powered amps. An amp with more output devices and higher wattage requires feedback to stabilize the circuit, a bad thing that, for lack of a better descri... | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? Onemug: I stand corrected - to get service, you have to prove that the speaker was purchased from an authorized U.S. dealer. | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? They are nice monitor speakers, as are the Signums, but I would not buy Sonus Fabers in the U.S., new or used, because Sumiko, the U.S. distributor, will only provide service to the original owner. This makes it a lot harder to sell them if you bu... |
