| Is a Sub required for HT I already have GIK room treatment, including bass traps. I don't understand why you say integration for HT is difficult? I won't be using a sub in my 2-channel system. | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? My current is all Jeff Rowland; amp, preamp, DAC, except I have the Bryston BDP2. | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Guido,What is the PSU's list price? | |
| Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6 Al,Thanks for the response. I don't have any subs, so that won't be an issue.Cerrot & ebm,My system consists of all Rowland components: 625 S2 amp, Corus preamp, and Aeris DAC. I'm just curious about trying a different preamp. | |
| Two channel home theater speaker integration I just had a slightly different situation. I decide to purchase a AV receiver to drive my center channel only and use my HT bypass on my preamp. My center channel is driven by the AV receiver and my main speakers are driven by my 2 channel amp. Wh... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles,It's just a matter of what works best in my system, based on my priorities. I plan on listening to an Audio Research Ref 6 within the next few weeks. Another guy suggested that I listen to a Dartzeel preamp. | |
| Stillpoints Ultra6 reference vibration controlers? mewsickbuff, No right or wrong, but I've never heard a system with subs that sounds natural. My point is everyone hears differently; therefore you must take advice with a grain of salt. Ask lots of questions, but let your own ears decide. | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles, If presented the opportunity, without the need to purchase I will. I listen to my system yesterday for several hours and still really love it. No, it's not at the same level as the Absolare, but close enough considering the cost differen... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Thanks. I'm not going to purchase, just trying to find out if it's worth listening to. Charles you and Al bring up very good points. Yes, I'm using all balanced cables. | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland My friend has convinced me to try the Aavik U300 integrated amp in lieu of changing preamps. He said it’s very close to Absolare. Has anyone ever heard the Aavik? | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles,In addition, I really respect the way you respond to threads. I always say, no absolutes with audio, only preferences! | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Charles,We must have similar taste. I don’t own Absolare, I have all Jeff Rowland components. I have no problem saying, the Absolare is head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever heard. Two days ago I listened at my friends house for 2 1/2 hours ... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Absolare integrated is a little under 25K, without phono. | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland I do have firsthand experience...I listen to my friend’s system often. I’ve heard his system with Rowland, Macintosh, MBL, Bricasti M28 amps, and the Absolare. I’m as familiar with his system, as my own. To my ears nothing has come close to the Ab... | |
| Beyond Ayre Pass and Rowland Absolare, just Google...relatively popular in Ultra high-end |
