| Review: Primare I30 Integrated Amplifier I could not agree more. I’ve been living with an I30 in a second system for a couple of years & am continually amazed at how good it sounds. It has that unique ability to create music with a natural, relaxed presentation without sacrificing dy... | |
| Preamp match for Linn Ninka and 5125 All of the new Linn stuff is stunning. It retains all the music of old then adds more transparency. I spoke directly to Ivor at a show. His comment: always go Aktiv. | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? I recently sold MUCH more expensive gear in favor of Primare. (Did you notice the CD31 made Stereophile’s recommended component list, Class A digital source? Has anyone read the Absolute sound review of the I30?) Primare is a lesser known product ... | |
| The Perfect Speakers for Jeff Rowland Concerto Int I have been using the Concerto Int. amp for about 9 months now. The Concerto is the most musical amp I have owned. Using with the Ayre C5xe, SF Cremona Auditors and REL B3 with PS Audio P500 pwr plant and UPC200 pre-conditioner. The speaker cables... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors/Cremona - Integ Amp The Mac when used with the SF Auditors did not bring to life the inner harmonics and detail of good recordings like Patricia Barber Night Club SACD. The Mac lacked weight and had no finesse. The sound was sluggish and thin. The Rowland on the othe... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors/Cremona - Integ Amp Phil, I auditioned the Mac. I bought the Rowland. I am not gettting the results you describe. Perhaps its your front end or cables creating your problem. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors/Cremona - Integ Amp I am confused by the Jeff Rowland / Sonus Faber Auditor remarks indicating "cold, cold, cold". I wonder what the problem really was. I use the Ayre C5xe, JR concerto, SF Auditors & REL B-3. All interconnects, speaker cables and power cords are... | |
| Any information on the new Ayre C5xe player? I recently traded in my Ayre C7xe in on a C5xe. The 5 makes the 7 sound like a waiste of time. | |
| Ayre or Rowland Amp? I will have to second the "FANTASTIC" comment regarding the Rowland. I am using the Concerto int. which is said to be the "equivalent" to the Concerto pre / 201's. Can't write enough positive adjectives about it. The lack of "3-D" comment makes me... | |
| Jeff Rowland with Rel sub I am currently using the Concerto Int. with a REL B-3 sub connected via the Neutrix interconnect. Fabulous results. | |
| Best HDMI Cable for Video Try the Audioquest HDMI-3. Getting great results with my Arcam DV 29. | |
| Cables for Cremona auditors I am currently using Audioquest Sky interconnects & Volcano speaker cables with the SF Auditors. Electronics consist of the Ayre Cx7e cdp & JRDG Concerto int amp. The most pure sound I have heard. | |
| Totem Forest vs. Sonus Faber Home or Domus Lines I just purchased the SF Auditors along with the Ayre cx7e cd player & JRDG Concerto int. amp. I agree the speakers are VERY revealing of all the details. You have to really like the electronics and recordings to enjoy this speaker as any and a... | |
| Sonus faber Cremona Auditor and Jeff Rowland?? I have been using the SF Auditors with the JRDG new Concerto int. amp. with great results. Placement is tricky however. I find even after months of use I still cannot find the optimal placement. | |
| amp/preamp combo for sonus faber cremona auditors I use the Ayre cx7e with the Auditors. The amp I choose is the new Jeff Rowland Concerto integrated. Still burning in but sounds great. |
