| Speakers or Amplifier Hi Richard, Here is a different opinion... Your Bricasti DAC is not yet broken in. I recommend that you stay put until the unit has at least 800 hours on it... Its bass performance is bound to change in one direction or another, and finally stabil... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Tim, if you use a battery powered radio, and you find that one of the amps seems to leak, try sliding the radio along/around the amp case, and then along the power cord, the speaker wires, and the input ICs.... There is no telling from where the l... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Hi Tim, I recommend that you repeat test walking around with the radio as follows....Amp 1 on, 2 and 3 off;Amp 1 off, 2 on, 3 off;Amp 1 and 2 off, 3 on;Amp 1 and 2 on, 3 off;Amp 1 on, 2 off, 3 on;All three amps on.G. | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Thank you Al, I conducted the test with an ancient tuner a few years ago.... Device is a rather low end NAD from approx. 1979. The tuner has a button that causes it to reject interference in FM... If the switch is in the off position, the device p... | |
| Jeff Rowland Hi Richard, the universal "true truth" non existing in audio, the ultimate beauty for one person is sometimes "not my cup of tea" for another one.So for example, while Jon feels that the Rowland sound is somewhat dark and rolled off at the top whi... | |
| Jeff Rowland Hi Richard, I do not expect Capri S2 to degrade the sound, but it is likely to modify the tembre very subtly.... Based on my memory of Continuum S2, which includes the Capri S2 linestage circuit, Sound might become slightly warmer, and probably th... | |
| DAC Choices today? Unfortunately no... No Bricasti audition at my end... On the other hand, I am very happy with my Rowland Aeris, and feel no particular urge to "upgrade" my DAC. Saluti, GuidoGuido | |
| DAC Choices today? Hei Chris, you should pour over the leading thread on DACs..... Lots of experiences and careful comparisons....http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1398132150&openmine&zzGuidocorona&4&5#Guidocorona It will be a long re... | |
| Jeff Rowland Richard, the safe/conservative approach is not to add a second M525 chassis for a bridged configuration, but to move up the chain instead with an amp that inherently delivers greater power.... Within the Rowland line, that means the Continuum S2 i... | |
| Input impedance of Rowland Continuum S2 Hi ARSH, per the Rowland Continuum S2 manual, input impedance is 40K Ohms.If you need a copy of the manual, drop me a note... Include your email address. Guido | |
| Class D at low volume I can report that with class D amps that I have loved, Rowland M925 and M312, Merrill Veritas, and Bel Canto REF1000M, low volume playing is as good as medium and high volume.... Clean, effortless, musical... Just like any good amp of any other to... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions That's exciting Richard.... You basically got an essentially brand new M525 for the priced of a used one! Let us know how things develop. G. | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions B_limo, if you live around the Springs, there is a Rowland dealer with vast experience in JRDG gear -- My friend Ron of Black Forest Audio keeps a super selection of new and pre-owned gear in his stash, ranging from late 1980s classics to Jeff's l... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Could you also give us initial comments on other Rowland M525 parameters compared to Parasound A21....Overall stage and image sizes;Authority;Transients distortion and speed;Macro and microdynamics;Harmonic complexity;treble sweetness in complex p... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Hi Richard... Congrats for M525!!!!Is the unit new or used? If used, how many hours on it? Overtight bass is likely to relax with more playing time.G. |
