| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Asa- an Indian (pre1953) are way cooler than a new Harley;a mint 1940 Indian Four will set you back $60,000. A mint1940 Indian Chief, side valve, suicide shifter, and allwill set you back $30-40,000. A modern Harley or Indian, I do not think I wou... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? I have owned a 1987 Harley Davidson Lowrider and a 1940Indian Chief. No comparison. I have heard the Rowland 302amplifier with the Meitner preamp and the Avalon Eidolon,with both the Spectral frontend and the Ayre frontend.It was an excellent soun... | |
| Rat Shack SPL meter: Analog or Digital? Very Interesting: I purchased both the analog and the digital RS sound meters. The analog goes +/- 15 db overthe range 83 Hz to around 8300Hz while the digital staysaround +/- 2 db range; below 83hz it drops like a rock onboth analog and digital a... | |
| how much tube power for eclipse ? Again, for the millionth time, if you want a super valuedamp that will drive the eclipse, then try getting the Spectral DMA200 for about $1500. It drives my Radians andmy Acoustats, without any problems except when I decideI want to bruise my ears... | |
| Any Schittke fans out there? Thanks for the suggestions. I heard that his 1st Symphony(some called it the antisymphony), is a pretty wild experience live. The stage is empty, the orchestra walks onplaying with the conductor last. They get up and leave and come back, they play... | |
| Verity Parsifal Encore VS. Vandersteen 5a Fmpnd: I might agree with concerning the Tenorsbecause of the 6db headroom, which translates into 300 watts of dynamic power. But what is the sensitivity of your Kharmas, lets say around 88 db;and that is at 3 feet, say at 8 feet that translatesto... | |
| Verity Parsifal Encore VS. Vandersteen 5a Tim: What is up? I thought you could live with the Maggie3.6s for the rest of your life? The Vandy stuff is ok andthe Verity stuff is ok. What happened? You have been readingway too much A'gon and are getting the Audio Itch and youwant to scratch ... | |
| Rogue Zeus No, but it makes you wonder about ARC. If Rogue can builda dual mono 250 watt for $6k ( and switchable triode on the fly!),why does the same amp from ARC cost $15k? From the pictures if looks were the only criteria then this amp looks like a winner! | |
| Any further news on Spectral CDP? Are you kidding?? Spectral is the most private of privateaudio companies. They will not put out a product until it isready for production. That is the way they have been for thelast 20 years, so why would they change now??? Besides,why did you put... | |
| Any further news on Spectral CDP? I stopped in Overture Audio. There is good news, bad news.The good news: there will be two models SDR4000 andSDR4000S, both CD players. The bad news: not till atleast summer if not longer. | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? Spectral DMA-200, class A up to its rating of 200 watts @8 ohms, 380 watts @ 4 ohms. Does not need MIT cables, butI recommend them, at least the MI-750 series, low impedance.It idles at 800 watts, so it uses alot of juice from thewall to get that ... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Has it been almost two years since Carl and Confedboy dueledit out on this tread? I loved it back then, the flaming,the childlike behavior, with some audio stuff thrown in.Now it seems kind of bland. Where are you guys these days? | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Although Flex is correct, the DMC30sl is a much better preamp, than the original DMC-30, and has a smoother, and larger soundstage than the DMC-30s. Though it will be tough to find a DMC-30sl used; I lucked out. I forgot, a very lowcost way to go ... |
