Jeff Rowland's Continumm

The 501 does not have the same module used for 201. If I remember correctly, the 501 and the 312 may use the same modules instead. The Continuum 500 -- which is the model variant I would suggest -- essentially contains 2 501 circuits, for the amplification component, a Capri-like pre-amplification circuit, and a Power Factor Correction (PFC) capacity capable of delivering 1500W of DC current at 385V. This last one is essentially twice the DC current delivered by a single PC1 external unit. Please note that a massive PFC capacity is one of the major reasons for the sonic advantage of 312 stereo over the 501 monos.

By contrast, the Continuum 250 has no PFC circuit, and if I recall correctly uses the same power conversion modules used in the 201.

One note of JRDG trivia. . . Continuum 500 is selling like hot cakes, and may be JRDG's hottest best seller yet.

DCSTEP can comment on the sonics of his COntinuum 500.

Call Jeff Rowland and find out what you need to know first hand. $8800 is too much to invest based on internet hearsay.

Good suggestion Macrojack. JRDG is at 719-473-1181. Be aware that they are in US Central time. They are most easily contacted from 9:00 AM central to 12:000 PM. Then again from about 1:30 PM central to 4:30 pm central. . . but hrs may vary.
I also suggest you get in touch with one of the major JRDG dealers like Soundings, at 303- 759-5505, and speak to Rod, Shanker, or Mark.

See Continuum Review for my review.

Guido my friend, JRDG, Soundings and I are in the Mountain Time Zone, one-hour behind Central.
