| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? @blindjim blindjim - "tubes usually make so so sounding speakers sound far better" Pokey77 - I have heard the Sopra 2s with tubes a few times and solid state alot. I think it was Rogue tubes if I recall correctly. In any event, it was very analyti... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening @steventoneyWas hoping myself for some others to comment on the Super Nine vs. the Gibbon X. | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening I have a 50 lb. integrated on a Salamander shelf for over ten years. No problems here. | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore While there are some valid points on cost of said modules, it would seem prudent that judgement was withheld until the newer Rowland gear was actually heard by the OP and others. That would seem only fair to JRDG. | |

| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore @guidocorona Guido is a big proponent of Rowland. Maybe he'll come in here and discuss. | |
| Devor - KEF - Vienna Acoustic – Wilson? @blindjim Jim, totally agree with you on top notch electronics enabling average speakers to sound "outstanding". I've heard it a few times and have realized that to short change yourself on quality components just short changes you on sound.@steve... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @toddverroneYes, I have. Had it for over a decade. I really like pretty much everything Scott Herren does but really love Prefuse 73. That band rescued me from music exhaustion. Really brought back the joy and emotion that all the other genre's I ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? @raindance You said "Progress will be when a "full function" preamp has useful tone controls once again..." -Wholeheartedly agreed; let's get some full function back. You may not have to use them most of the time, but they are sure a lifesaver whe... | |
