| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I also have a 501 that I use for my center channel. It improved a lot when I got the PC-1, but was still definately behind my 301´s.But believe me, it improved even more when I later on connected the PC-1 to my Burmester 948 which is powered by a ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Kawika,unfortunately I have no experience with the Criterion. I have Burmester frontend with the 069 cd and 077 pre, both in the reference line. I just love what these products did with my system so I must admit I am leaning more towards getting a... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Guidocorona,I believe it is the same difference as for the stereo amps, I mean the old 302 against the current 312. I have not heard the old 301 monos or the 302 stereo amp so I can not comment on the difference myself, but those who have say the ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I have a pair of the latest 301´s and also very interested to know how these new 925 amps will sound in comparison.What I have found out during the years I have owned my 301 is that they are are extremely neutral, but also very sensitive to other ... | |
| Cary Cinema 11 Quirks? Hi, the analog 7.1 bypass input on the Cary Cinema 11 nd Cinema 11a have the same quality I think (I have had the 11, now have the 11a). And by that I mean very good. I use an Oppo BDP-83 SE into the 7.1 input on the 11a and the sound is absolutel... | |
| Esoteric PS-0, Metronome Kalista, Burmester 969 ? To you who think a $400 computer is at least as good as a top notch cd transport: I have tried Logitech Transporter with mod from Modwright, Apple Airport Express and several different server/PC solutions. None of these have ever come close to my ... | |
| Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ? I had Stealth Indra before. They should be compared to Valhalla. Nordost Odin is in a different league. I have not heard the new Sakras, though. | |
| Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ? I have a system with Nordost Valhalla all the way (IC, spkr, AC). 4 weeks ago I upgraded the Interconnect from CD (Burmester 069) to pre (Burmester 077) with Nordost Odin. The improvement was huge! Much more than I ever had expected.Last week I up... | |
| The best no-compromise digital options? A comment on SACD players. Myself I prefer Accuphase gear over Esoteric and would have added the 800/801 combo to that list. | |
| The best no-compromise digital options? Someone referred to the Modwright Transporter. I have had this in my system almost a year and with upgraded tubes. It has played side by side with Burmester 069 and Accuphase DP-700. The Modwright could not at all compete with these two players. W... | |
| Best preamp for my system. You should give the Burmester 077 a listen. An incredible preamp! | |
| Burmester and MBL I have had the Burmester 001/011 combo before I stepped up to 069/077. I auditioned MBL Noble Line before getting the 001 & 011. I found Burmester to be much more musical. | |
| Burmester and MBL To put it short, I have auditioned both lines and I ended up with Burmester gear (069 ref cd and 077 ref pre so far). I find Burmester more analog and liquid/fuller sounding than MBL electronics. MBL is dryer and more clinical, works excellent wit... | |
| Tubes OR solid state for Sonus Faber Cremona Audit I had Bryston for my SF Cremona Audio in a secondary system, replaced it with Accuphase. Accuphase is a lot better with SF! I have also tried Jeff Rowland and Cary gear with SF. I would recommend Accuphase! There are a lot of others also who think... | |
| Rowland Continuum 500, RCA vs. XLR Definately. I also have the Continuum 500 and you will benefit from using the XLR. Jeffs products are truely balanced and you will get lower noise floor and more resolution. |
