| Jeff Rowland I had the chance to do a long side-by-side between the C500 and the S2. I used the same external DAC, cables and monitors with both. I alternated the monitors between the SF Amati Serafino, Maggie 3.7, and a pair of Shahinian Hawks. I must say ... | |
| Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one I have a set of SF Serafino powered by the Rowland C500 Integrated. I've rolled a few amps passed these (ARC, Moon, Primare, TACT, Naim) and found they are a bit fussy. I found no combination unworkable but was surprised at the differences. In ... | |
| Analysis Plus cables I just installed Black Oval 9 between my Rowland and Duevel Omni Monitors. Out of the box they are outstanding and a big step up in clarity, balance and bass from my venerable Straightwire Maestros.... I'm very pleased... | |
| What did Shahinian Obelisks cost in the late 1980s I paid $2100 in 1987 for mine. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 My understanding is the SE model uses the carbon-fiber drivers and power amplifier from their flagship line... but puts them in the smaller footprint package of the "R" series. They also added additional cabinet bracing. | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 I just purchased a REL R-528SE and it's an amazing sub, butter smooth, fast, and very easy to integrate. I have it matched up with JDRC electronics and Duevel Bella-Luna Diamanté omnis. I've owned a lot of subs, and most were sonically difficult. ... | |
| Duevel Sirius vs German Physiks Carbon I have a set of BLDs and a set of Venus and love Duevels. I'm itching to move to the Sirius but without a US distributor it hard to know if the $30k offers what I want. | |
| Has anyone auditioned Duevel Sirius ? It's been a while, has anyone had the chance? | |
| JRDG Jeff Rowland amps with Shahinian Diapason? I've driven a set of Obelish and a set of Hawks with the JRDC Continuum 500 with great results, the C500 is a nice integrated and has stellar bass control and headroom, something the Hawks dearly needed. I now have the C500 on a set of Duevel BLDs... | |
| Valve amps for Shahinian Obelisk ? I've been listening to a set of Obelisks with a modest ARC Classic-30 valve amp for years.... wonderful combination. | |
| Vintage Polk 10 b....2nd system, vinyl based... I worked for Polk in the late 70's and helped to design the RTA12. I prefered the sound of the Model 7 to the model 10. It would not play as loud, but offered a more clear voice and balanced tone. The 10 could get boomy and the mid-bass a bit defo... | |
| Anyone heard Jamo R909 dipole speakers? I heard a set using Rowland 501 amps, they are wonderful if you have the space and power. They need room behind and to the side to bloom, otherwise they sould rather unfocused and muddy. They do need power to get going and need to be played at a m... | |
| Amp for Duevel Bella Luna Which amp did you settle on and how did it work out? | |
| Amp for Duevel Bella Luna I own (and love) a pair or BLDs. I've rolled through quite a few amps and have settled on the JRDC C500. It was a hard call between it and the Ayre mono blocks. The BLDs really settled down with the JR amp, music seems slower and more melodic, and... | |
| Modern Shahinian Obelisk I owned some Ohm Walsh speakers some time ago; I loved their sound but never like the estetic. Maybe with a custom veneer I could live with them. they just look "old" and 70's to my eyes. The more I toy with my current Duevel BLD's, the more I'm l... |
