| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello WCSS, when you had the Rowland m925 monos in the system, did you plug the monoblocks into a power conditioner, or each into a dedicated 20A AC line?G. | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps Thank you so much @Alstewart... You summerized my own M925 experience to a T!The reason why M925 monos never get really hot to the touch is that they have an efficiency of approximately 93%.Ther power is approximately 430W into 4 Ohms, reaching 85... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC... My bad... You are correct. K1 appears to have slectable upsampling 2X, 4X, 8X, and DSD.... For filters there seems to be only an on/off toggle... No filters selection per se.Worth testing various upsampling rates with filters turned on an... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Buon giorno Mike, I left Italy some 40 years ago, and live on the US East Coast.I am very much looking forward to enjoying listening to your upcoming test of the Rowland M535 amps in bridged mode.Meantime, so that other followers of this thread h... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC, why would you ever want to sell K1... At least for the next 3 or 4 years? the K1 CD/SACD player is the best single box solution on the market today.... If you ever sell it, the only way to go up the ladder without sliding down or sideways i... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WhiteCamaroSS, unlike other DACs, K1 is not a launch&forget device.... I believe that it has a variety of upsampling settings and filters..... And audible results will be quite different with various combinations.... It is worth you do some... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore Thank you so much Mike, you made my day!Please post here the URL of your M535 youtube when you post it.I have owned two class D amps from Rowland.... The M312 stereo, which sported ICEpower 10000ASP modules, and since 2013 the M925 monoblocks, whe... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Ahem, the tragic syndrome of Audiophrenia Furiosa that Robert Jerman hints at is discussed at some length in a scholarly editorial that I wrote several years ago for Positive Feedback....https://positive-feedback.com/Issue46/audiophrenia.htm Regar... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hello Whitecamaross, For all I heard, Esoteric K1 is an amazing single box CD player.... Yes, it does a DAC section which has inputs for external digital sources... But what I do not think it has, is an analog attenuator.... So you will need to us... | |
| Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps Hello Chazzzy, the most notable discussion of M925 on Audiogon is by WhiteCamaroSS, Audiogon's very own amp marathon-man... He considers the Rowland M925 monoblocks the best amps he has ever had in his own system. He has chronicled his enthusiast... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! "The 925 mono blocks are class A/B rather than class D."Hello Charles, there is a lot to the design and implementation of Rowland M925 mono, and its brother M825 stereo.... Rowland has availed himself of a variety of technologies... Starting with ... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? Hi Jimmy, M625 S2 might appear once a while on the pre-owned market…. But M535 is brand new, so it is unlikely to pop up used for quite a spell. The good news is that M535 is reasonably priced at $5900 per chassis. Depending on your speakers... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? Hello Jimmy!Your golden beauties are not Rowland Moons.... They are Rowland Model 7 monoblocks *Grins!*A JRDG M625 S2 stereo like Richard's, or a pair of the brand new M535 bridged amps would be more than worthy successors to your classic Rowland ... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC, I am not surprised that you are enjoying M925 + Capri S2.... I heard Rowland M825 (stereo version of 925) + Capri S2 driving Joseph Audio Pearl 3 speakers a couple of years at RMAF in the Cardas room. The system was all connected and powere... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! "the rowlands are almost winkingat me asking for more volume"WC, A 2500W DC power supply in each M925 monoblock will do that *Grins!* And yes, the M925 monos are rather unflappable, aren't they?! G. |
