| Jeff Rowland Model 7 & Model 5 Upgrade I have a pair of Model 7's also and I'm interested in the pictures you've made illustrating Jeff's upgrade.Greetings | |
| Krell preamp KRS balanced user manual ??? KRS-1A manual is sufficient.I had the KRS-2 preamp which already had the largest capacitance I ever saw in a pre-amp (apart from the Dynaudio Arbiter which had capacitors the size of beer cans and 8 of them) saw the KRS-1 Balanced is even more ove... | |
| Onkyo m510 grand integra Extremesounds100: "Funny, but I always see them selling for about 1/2 (half) of the original list price, and often taking weeks to sell. This would "Never" happen with a Grand Integra. Food for thought. Peace out."My pair of Levinson ML-2's sell f... | |
| The 1970's Infinity QLS 1...How would it compare? Friend of mine drives them properly with a Levinson ML-3 | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Levinson ML-2,Levinson no. 20.6Sumo NineThreshold SA/1 | |
| Adromada III or sumo nine Just acquired a Sumo The Nine Plus (Revision C).Wonderful sounding little gem highly recommended.Sounds almost as good as the Levinson ML-2's I once had, delicate and detailed.Do not try to service/upgrade it your self because it needs more skill ... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Mark Levinson ML-2This is the archetype of all US made highend amps.Had them recently in my setup with Acoustats 2 + 2 and they were still sounding wonderful to me.Credits to John Curl & the late Thomas Colangelo | |
| Krell KRC preamp powersupply Thanks Mike,I substituted all radial caps in the mainunit and powersupply as a precaution.The ones under the controlboard were brown from the heat and they smelled like fish.It was a days work but I turned the bias somewhat down so it gets not so ... | |
| Any experience with Krell KRS-2 6-chasis version I still have a KRS-2 and I substituted the Spectrol Wirewound pot with the Penny + Giles RF15. What a huge improvement! Also all the darkred RDE caps and orange bigger ones were substituted with Panasonic FM series and Vishay 021 for the axials. | |
| Review: Threshold FET Nine Preamplifier I've had several Threshold FET Series preamps thta all worked hasslefree unlike offerings from Levinson and Krell.I would recommend without hesitation, as I did a couple of months ago to a friend, any of those preamps. | |
| Rowland model 5 vs Threshold S500 series II Have had the Threshold S/300 Optical bias, the SA/1 mono's currently and model Rowland model 7's.Threshold has never been very strong at 2 Ohm loads.The model 5 can deliver more current then the S/500 it sounds more polite then the S/500.According... | |
| Pass X-350 with Acoustat 2 + 2 Thanks for all the replies.We connected a Pass X-250.5 on the Duetta Sigs and the meter immediately went to the rightcorner went we cranked up the volume.We did not have much hope for the X-350..We installed a Krell FPB-600 and it drove the Apogee... | |
| Minimum 8 ohms If you want to get lots of current from a Stasis concept you should consider the SA Class A Series from Threshold.They lowered the railvoltage with the same hardware (chassis, toroids, large cans capacitors and number of transistors).With the Pass... | |
| Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy? Jeff Rowland model 8T most musical satisfying amp I ever had. Second in my system with Acoustats the Levinson ML-2's. They do posses such a transparency and pinpoint placement of instruments but they could not properly drive my inefficient speaker... | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers The Levinson ML3 is definitely not a Class amp.It's a AB with only enough biascurrent for approx. 6 Watts @ 8 Ohms Class A. The ML2 has 25 - 40 (European model) Watts Class A and consumes 400 Watts at idle.You can bridge two ML2 monos to get 100 W... |
