| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Al,The gain can be adjusted on the front panel or via the remote. Rowland recommends that you adjust it so the two blue LED lights on the front panel are of equal brightness when used with a preamp. I have it about 4 clicks up from the recommended... | |
| Jeff Rowland Amplifiers I have all Jeff Rowland components: 625 S2 amp, Corus preamp, and Aeris DAC. I had nice equipment over the years, but to my ears Rowland is on another level, I understand different strokes, but I rarely hear Rowland being discussed. | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC The gain on the Aeries DAC is adjustable. It clearly states how to adjust the volume when using it with a preamp. When I went from the Bricasti M1 DAC to the Aeris DAC I had too much gain, because I didn't read the owners manual. After adjusting t... | |

| Jeff Rowland Amplifiers whipsaw,thanks for your input. I do own his latest amp and I'm mystified as to why there is very little discussion regarding his amplifiers. | |
| What makes a good Hi Fi rack improve your system. So if you have StillPoints under all of your components you can further improve the sound with a better rack? | |
| Guidelines for buying used speakers (as in, are there any?) I agree with Coli...price to condition. Determine how much you want to spend and what a fair price is for the condition of the speakers, | |
| What makes an expensive speaker expensive jafant,I believe my previous(Aerial 7T) and current speakers(Monitor Audio PL500) were made in China. I submit both of them are very well made and offer outstanding value. | |
| What's the most overrated or overpriced piece of equipment you own, have owned or come by? Nothing, because everything I've ever purchased helped me get to where I am now. Happy! | |
| $16K new/used speaker question? tom_hankins,I've been trying to upgrade my Aerial 7Ts. 16K sounds like a lot of money, but I had to spend a little more money also. I love YG Sonjas, but they are out of my price range. I ended up with Monitor Audio PL500s and I'm very happy. | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop stringreen,I'm sure I had the older design, it was a few years ago. I'm very happy with my WireWorld cables and my entire system. For the first time I see no need to change anything. | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop I had ClearDay Double Shotgun cables a couple of years ago and thought they were very good. | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop Cables are system dependent; therefore you can't get upset when someone doesn't like them. I too tried Cardas Clear in my system and found them dark, without detail. If they're great in your system, simple enjoy them. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? hgeifman,Thanks... I called Time Warner cable and they told me I should be downloading at up to 300 mbs. I will do as you suggest and try to pinpoint the source of my problem. | |
| Who has tried "TIDAL" vs other streaming applications? I have Tidal and pay $20 per month. I love the sound quality, access to new Jazz, and old R&B, but I don't like how slow it operates at times. |
