Jeff Rowland Corus versus Audio Research Ref 6


Has anyone compared the JR Corus to the Audio Research Ref 6? From a technical perspective, will the Ref 6 work well with the Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp?

Al,
Thanks for the response. I don't have any subs, so that won't be an issue.

Cerrot & ebm,
My system consists of all Rowland components: 625 S2 amp, Corus preamp, and Aeris DAC. I'm just curious about trying a different preamp.

Hi Richard, In olden days I had an ARC Ref 3.... I know I know, it is an older ARC reference preamplifier...


I replaced Ref 3 with the little Rowland Capri original because I found Capri to be much superior in most respects.... And eventually upgraded from Capri to Criterion (same audio circuit of Corus) because it was clearly superior to Capri.


Granted,Ref 6 is probably better than Ref 3, so a comparison with Corus might be interesting.


One other thing you might try with your system is to power both Corus and Aeris through the new Rowland ultra-capacitor PSU DC external power supply . Finally the creature is shipping... I have not tried PSU yet because my system is in storage, but indirect reports on PSU this far have been extremely positive.

Hi Richard, PSU production is in full swing... In high demands since its recent launch in Asia.


US list price is $8200.


A new batch is being readied... although nmost of its units are already spoken for, your dealer should be able to secure a unit for .
