| Power Cords I used a Shunyata python on the Manley 250's. I also used harmonix. I never heard much of an improvement on the overall sound compared to the stock cord. Minor subtleties if your trying to hear something. | |

| "Off" vs. "Standby" and tube life How's that for concrete anaysis. I had many of the best tube amps over the last 12 years and had an over abundance of tube failure. Probably 6-8 times per year!Some very dramatic with capacitors going as well. Most manufacturers always complain th... | |

| Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier Tireguy, I found the Rowland 6 to be the best amp I have owned. It drives the Schweikert VR7SE's to perfection with a total balance of the total bandwidth. Stay away from the tubes unless its VAC | |
| Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp. Selling Cary slm -200's. That is the best tube I have ever had. Bought a Wolcott Presence amp with the money and had total remorse with that sound | |

| Why dosome high pwr amps fail to drive some spkrs? Ironic but the Rowland Model 6 is the first amp I have had that gives me the bass and midbass control. Major slam and can also sound delicate. I have not heard the 8ti so I am not sure while it would fail. I also use the Manley steehead preamp whi... | |
| Manley Laboratories Amps-what do you think? A company that cares about their clients. My 250's ate tubes every 3 months but I have had tube failures with all the top tube amps. Excellent sounding but never heard the bass I was looking for and went back to Rowlands | |
