| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Z: "...I'm congenitally allergic to overweening hyperbole."Alex, you are a treasure! | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados Am I right that the Concentra II's power amp section is very similar to a Model 112? Can you say more about how the Concentra and 201's differ? Thanks. | |
| Analysis-Plus Solo Crystal Oval cables. You are talking about the interconnects. Any experience with the solo crystal speaker cables? | |
| Pass X150 vs. X250 I wonder if they've sold more than a handful of the XA amps. You never hear anything about them. | |
| How do you measure output impedance? That's exactly right. And I had my preamp modified recently with additional resistance on one set of outputs (to lower gain) and would like to know how, if at all, this has affected the output impedance for that set of outputs. Zoya, your question... | |
| How do you measure output impedance? Actually, Herman, that all sounds pretty intimidating to me. I'd need a lot of hand-holding, plus a pot. Thanks for posting it, though. | |
| Question for Rowland aficionados Thanks, great response Onhwy61. Not sure I would agree with your conclusion that what I like about the Model One is a coloration, but I do agree that other amps are clearer sounding. Funny, I owned an Aleph 5 for a few years, but not with most of ... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Slappy, your comment about the last 3-6 feet is exactly what each of us has asked himself. Ditto with hardwiring your components. The thing is, I think, you have to think about it a little differently. The high-end PCs--some of them at any rate--d... | |
| Thiel Cs 3.6. Outdated? >more important in HTWhy do you say that, Ernie? | |
| Sound is too big for my room. It sounds like what you are missing is "life" at low volume. The amp is a factor here, but so are the speakers. Some don't come alive until you crank things. Are you saying that with the old integrated, you got this sense of life at low volume? | |
| Revel Studios for half price? Man, this is some great reading! | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Dekay, I seem to remember an audiophile LP version of Marrying Maiden from some years ago. Have you come across that? (It kind of surprised me because I always thought the album had rather mediocre sonics, compared to their first, for example.)Lik... | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? 'Twas the Cable Company for me too. | |
| Absolute must see at CES this year? I'm heading to the Rowland room, assuming there is one, in hope of hearing and seeing the new 201 monoblocks. | |
| Next Step Up from Adcom GFP-750 Preamp? I moved from the Adcom to the Placette active, which I highly recommend (even though I finally ended up with a tube preamp). I thought the Adcom in passive mode was about as neutral as you could get until I heard the Placette. Definitely in the sa... |
