| Jeff Rowland to what? I was responding to 4425's quote." I've listened to Ayre several times driving Wilson Audio Sasha 1s and Rockport Aviors. Let just say, I'll keep my current Rowland 625 S2 over any Ayre that I heard, which includes their mono-amps."And that make... | |
| Power cable " Sfall, just curious what your thoughts are to keep the stock cord on the Ayre and change the Bluesound rather then changing them both?"With Ayre you don't really need one. They design they're components with line conditioning in mind, and do so... | |

Once you have that in place, your system will phase correct from source to speakers. Also, having your entire system fully balanced makes a big difference. Its mu... | |

| Jeff Rowland to what? 4425I just read my post. That last bit was a general comment. It kind of looks like it was directed towards you, but its not. | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? " I truly don't think you'll exceed the the Rowland unless maybe an Agostino S250 would offer something you might prefer. Beyond that you'll need to look towards some of the European boutique brands at great expense. Jeff personally is involved... | |

| Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart The Soundsmith is not broken in yet. Phono carts break in a lot. Don't judge it until you have at least 100 hours in it. | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? If you like the Rowland sound, Pass, BAT or CJ would be good choices. Ayre is a good choice as well, but it sounds different than what you now have. You have to listen to it first. I used to have both the Rowland 12's and 112, and now use 2 Ayre V... | |
| Power cable Use the stock cord on the Ayre and a JPS Labs digital AC on the Bluesound. ESP Essence for everything else. If you live in the US, Cable Company can send you some demo cables to try first. | |

| thinking of switching from conrad johnson...... " preamps are c/j pv 10 and pv 12 "That's your problem. Those 2 preamps are the very definition of dated sounding. Unless you have a really bright, harsh sounding system, I wouldn't consider either one. I had both, so I'm speaking from actual exp... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 " One thing I do know, I need to get to some of the local listening rooms (Boston area) and relearn what I thought I knew. Thanks for all the advice! "You are not too far from Audio Connection in NJ. Its a trip you'll never regret making. |
