| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Brazcole, not too many of us read Portuguese. . . that means that not only we can't read the Andrette review, but we do not even know how to subscribe to the web site. Could you please create a Google translation of the review, then paste the tran... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Thank you Brazcole for the link to the review. I am enjoying every minute of music from my Criterion, which at about 700 hours seems to me fully broken in. Among other things, the Criterion has added significant authority to my system. As I mentio... | |
| Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound I listen almost exclusively to classical. . . with a lot of small string chamber ensambles. Try the Furutech Evolution II wires, for highly neutral and musical sound throughout the frequency range. Audioquest Sky may even exceed these Furutech in ... | |
| Power Amp..opinions please Just to clarify, Bel Canto class D Ref series contain analog ICEpower modules. Ref 500 is based on the 500ASP module; Ref 1000 Mk.1 and Mk.2 have been designed around the 1000ASP module.I have most experience with Ref 1000 Mk.2. . . Ran it for 4 m... | |
| High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must Rleff, I also thought about JRDG legacy amps, but the $2K max budget may limit choice to a pair of Model 1 stereos (bridged to monoblock operation),, and perhaps model 3 and Model 5. Other legacy Rowland amps are likely to be above reqd budget. G. | |
| Meeting point at RMAF for Audiogoners I'll be there! | |
| Power Amp..opinions please Hi Milpai, I was not suggesting a new Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk.2 at $6K. . . rather, there are a couple of Mk.1s on Audiogon for approximately $2K. Given the times, you might be able to negotiate the final price down a few $$s. The original Mk.1 has ... | |
| High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must For approx $2100 you can get a pair of Bel canto Ref 1000 Mk.1 monoblocks. These are very good amps that are highly musical and do not get easily confused on harmonically complex material during intense passages. Ihave used the Mk.2 version on my ... | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? "[. . .] The gear you've got is already more than good enough by any reasonable measure."Not bad. . . from merely messianic, now graduating to fully omniscient. . . Rather impressive feat really.Whilst totally relaxed,G. | |
| High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must A couple of questions:What is your budget?What speakers will you drive, with what sensitivity?Will you be running single ended or balanced?What is your pre, with what output impedance?What wiring do you use?What music do you enjoy listening to?Reg... | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? "absurd" and "running around like maniacs"Not quite sure. . . I thought audiophile were a reasonably sedentary bunch. . . as for us being 'absurd'. . . the characterization remains in the eyes of the messianically prone beholder who started this d... | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? You's right Jim, no cure nor palliative treatment. . . perhaps in the future there will be gene therapy for degenerative audiophilia nervosa, according to the latest work by Schmaltzenstein-Gavronsky and Gigi Pugnetti, , but the treatment is likel... | |
| Power Amp..opinions please "Now I also read from others threads that as time goes by Class D becomes boring, no tone, etc, etc. I am a bit confused now and cannot decide which way. . ."Fear not, class D amps are just like amps of any other class. . . some are great and some... | |
| Setup vs. Amp/Preamp choice? Uhrn. . . seems the garden variety messianic personality is live and well on Audiogon.Once again, we are being regaled with "absolutely free" advice, of the most generic variety of course. A promise to cure us, long suffering audiophiles, instantl... |
