Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
In terms of ARC, I don't know -- it just didn't touch me the way that the JR did. It was lovely and I even paired an ARC preamp with the JR amp -- so nice -- but overall I went with the Corus. The VAC was also gorgeous. I am just not sure that for...

Hello -- again,Someone wrote to ask me how everything has worked out. Well, I got rid of my Devialet and purchased Jeff Rowland 625S amp + Corus to go with the Wilson Sabrina's. I love it. I just added the JR PSU and I am hoping this will provide ...

Thanks.  I appreciate all the fine suggestions. I have one crystal cable power cord from the old set up. And a Transparent usb that seems fine. Otherwise, all is well. I must say I don't philosophize about equipment but equipment enables me to phi...

Let's not make this a gender issue, when it is all about preamps. Also, my purchases have been very clear and so have my goals. Not that I need approval here. I need(ed) suggestions and recommendations. Many of which have been very good and I have...

Hello all! I am very happy so far with my new amp and I just found an add on Audiogon that I want to run by you for a preamp. I was going to wait, and still might, but when something comes along it is good to check it out. What do you think about ...

I very much like the idea of a mac mini to the DAC and an ipad to navigate. That sounds optimum to me. I will look into it. If I have any questions, I will get back to you on this. Thanks. E

I have listened to my files vs. Tidal files and I find there is a difference. Can't beat the selection -- I agree. And I do use HD Tidal. What do you think about music centers such as Audirvana and others?  
Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
I appreciate this, but I am not buying a server. At least not now. I have a long usb and that will do for now. I thought you meant did I use a music center like J. River or some such thing. I use MAC so I am actually mostly on itunes and wouldn't ...

Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC
Hello all, I did hear the 625 S2 with a preamp. I heard it with a high end ARC and it was really stunning. It was warm and just gorgeous. That is why I thought down the road I might add in a tube preamp. But, that decision, if you have learned any...

Maybe one day Charles1dad! I am finding that transcendental moment even with the Transparent loaner cable. I think the AQ is going to be amazing. I really do. But I will let you know next week when it arrives and settles in.
