| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? Audiosoul, class D amplifiers like the Rowlands or the latest Bel Cantos are not even faintly digital. They use ICEpower analog power conversion modules.The only cavieat with ICEpower based amplifiers is that they need to be very well broken in, o... | |
| Esoteric C-03 Break In Time Ah I see Bill, I clearly misinterpreted your "smoothed out" to mean complete breakin. This is what Chris means by the term, hence, here is a very direct question to you. . .. how long did it take your C-03 to complete the break in process and stab... | |
| Esoteric C-03 Break In Time Hmmm, there are clearly 2 schools of thought.1. Mr. Feil, with over 50 years of audiophilic experience on hundreds of components, a respected Esoteric dealer with broad Esoteric brand experience in his own regard, and a proud owner of C-03 himself... | |
| Esoteric C-03 Break In Time I agree with the estimate of 600 hrs to 1000 hrs of breakin. . . would not be surprised if the C-03 kept on sweetening until about 1200 hours. Guido | |

| Esoteric: firewire vs. aes-ebu connection Have you done any experiments yourself already? One of the interesting issues of course, is that different brands and ICs models seem to make quite a difference on Esoteric gear. This means that unless you use identical models of wires for aes-ebu... | |
| What Integrated Amps have the sonics of Separates? I suspect that a number of integrated amps have the sonic of separates, or may even be 'better' than the corresponding separates. This is because sometimes integrated are designed by. . . integrating existing separate components into a single box.... | |
| Rowland Consonance Preamp Standby Mode The consonance manual makes no mention of a standby funcion. Mute and unmute seem to be available both from remote and front panel. The manual for consonance can be downloaded from:http://jeffrowland.com/Docs/ConsonanceManual.pdf | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hi David, what I meant is that as far as I know the Criterion can now be controlled via the remote transmitter. I suspect this may also mean that the receiver is also operational. Jeff Rowland is probably in Munich today, so I can't seek any confi... | |
| I'm beginning to wonder... I am not sure what percentage of Audiogoners may be native English speakers. I for one was born and raised over the Pond. The Queen's language is not my first language, not by any stretch of the imagination. It's my 4th one, hence my occasional la... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I have just had confirmation from the JRDG factory that the Criterion being shipped to Munic has a fully functional remote control transmitter. Guido | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I suspect Criterion at Munich might have an operational remote. We'll find out for sure when some High End Show visitor posts here. Guido | |
