| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre And of course. . . Criterion does show R/L balance info on the display. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Audiofil, if your Capri remote displays occasional emotional issues, you should contact JRDG directly at 719-473-1181.You are correct about L/R balance reset. Capri manual states that:"NOTE: To return the balance to the center or 0 dB position, pr... | |
| Quietest 500GB Firewire drive? Merlocpm, I believe Quadra contains 2 physical 3.5 inch drives. Such arrangement will always yield a little more than twice the noise/vibration of a single drive. That is because it is unlikely that the two drives are perfectly aligned on the same... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Hi Clio, here are some possible answers:The remote control circuit of Capri was designed in the early 90s and has been used on a variety of devices ever since, hence its limitations. Yes, the Criterion display will show balance state.The audiophil... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Kawika, during todays' phone chat Jeff appeared to be confident that he will ship Criterion before year end. Guido | |
| ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply? Probably the 6L6GC aged prematurely. It is worth pointing out that any deviation from the ARC supplied SED Winged 6650C may potentially be an "interesting experiments" yielding unpredictable results. . . and any problems it yields may void the fac... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Just spoke to JRDG. Criterion is a linestage. a Phono section will be introduced next year in a separate chassis. On the subject of size and color of characters on the display. . . the display is a fluorescent panel with 32x320 pixels. All chars a... | |
| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs Rowland components have been differentially balanced since at least early nineties. So much so that the TI Burr Brown OPA1632 module used in Capri and Criterion is a differentially balanced OP Amp. G. | |
| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs Here's some correction for Esoteric and JRDG:** Esoteric C03 PreAmp (new)(1 xlr output)** Jeff Rowland Capri 1 Bal-XLR, 1 Unb-RCA std)** Jeff Rowland Concerto (std)** Jeff Rowland Criterion (std) 2 Bal XLR | |
| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs Ah well. . . you've got to admit that. . . it was "A Valiant Attempt" . . . to say it with the old game of Zork! G. | |
| HRS Isolation damping plates Ghost, if the plates make a difference. . . try also some lowly material. . . Lead shot I already spoke about. . . but a 50Lbs bag of rice , pinto beans, or sand. . . may do the dampening trick as much on top of a component. | |
| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs Every post is the same Bill.nag this and Nag that.Over and over and over.Take a breath.(smiles!) Guido | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? Johnk, Sonus claims their cabinets are built like Cremonese string instruments of old. . . fabulously effective markcom. . . reality is different though. . custom ply cabinets of Sonus do not vibrate. . . they are desirably dead as doornails. But ... | |
| SS or Tube Preamps with Dual-Balanced outputs Looks like my Capri has only 1 single pair of XLR balanced outputs. Manual seems to confirm only 1 pair of balanced outputs. Strike Capri for this application. Criterion won't have these limitations. . . at a uhrn. . . charmingly different price p... | |
| What is your favorite material for loudspeakers? Johnk, the goals of cabinet construction for a string instrument and for a speaker are subtly different. . . a luthier uses the entire case of the instrument as a mechanically active amplifier. . . As such laminates like timber plies make for infe... |
