| Roland Model 6 Monoblocks Raquel, you are absolutely correct. . . when I suggested Furutech wires I wasn't even thinking that Model 6 having batteries -- the power cord issue is in fact pretty well moot for any critical listening. precious recessional $$$$ may be advantage... | |
| Roland Model 6 Monoblocks I am using a suite of Furutech Evolution II wires on my entire system, including Rowland 312 amp, Criterion pre, and Capri pre with magnificent results. On my Rowland gear Evo II is very extended, appears neutral, and harmonically very textured. C... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Very simple. . . Austin is a place of sudden and potentially violent thunderstorms. . . a power surge into the system would have been a rather expensive proposition. I always disconnect the system when I leave town. G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre All, after 2 weeks of travel to Ithaca (NY) and Vancouver (Canada) I am back home in Austin. During this time the system was turned off and totally disconnected from the AC outlet. The system has now just been reconnected and is back online. Crite... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp What's interesting is that the Appogg platforms enhance treble detail while they render upper frequencies sweeter and more delicate. Do not think for a second that 'more delicate' treble implies some glossing of harmonic or low level detail. . . o... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp Talking about wives. . . my own wife, who is always hypercritical about the esthetics of audio components, has immediately remarked about the understated elegance and refined looks of the Appogg platforms in my system. Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Husk, I believe the list price of Criterion is approximately $18.5K. You should check with a JRDG dealer or with the JRDG factory at (719-473-1181 to confirm.The sonic difference between AC and battery operation is subtle but discernable, at least... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp The platforms are factory-tunable to component weight up to 200Lbs. The polymer between the top acrylic plate and the chassis is sorbothane. The chassis base is chambered and is filled with a goop used in the electronics and military fields for ab... | |
| Appogg isolation platform under preamp Audiobuilder, I will be testing the Appogg platform under my Rowland 312 amp the week of Aug 24th. Will post results here. Guido | |
| Thinking of buying a solid state amp GLI, what sonic differences did you perceive between JRDG 312 and Pass X350.5?Thanks, Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hi Claude, the JRDG 312 is an amazing amp. . . I have not compared it side by side with 501 monos with PC-1s, so I can't really comment on differences.I am no longer using Cardas Golden Ref speaker wires and power cords. I am now using Furutech Ev... | |
| Thinking of buying a solid state amp Semi, none of the current class D amps that I have heard can be deemed slow, including the current breed of JRDG products. Nimbleness and authority on difficult speakers seems to be a common characteristic of class D amplification, as it is shared... | |

| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hi Dave, seems Appogg prices will be $850 to $900 per unit, depending on size. Guido | |
| Thinking of buying a solid state amp Semi, the Rowland 501 is a slightly older design. By itself it may be a little 'cool' sounding compared to BC Ref 1Kmk.2 monos. To perform at their best the 501 monos require a pair of the new Rowland PC-1 rectifiers. . . the sonic difference shou... |
