The new S3s are $45-52K depending on the finish. This hobby is getting crazier and crazier. Although I've spent a good amount on my system, the crazy prices are really making me rethink what I'm...

How does it sound?

Removed surround sound components and changed from a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 to Jeff Rowland M735 mono-amps. 30542

I reached out to Nenon regarding the ARC6 power supply. The ARC6 is $10K! My debate now is what makes more sense, $10K for a PSU and keep the Dave or $27K for a new DAC?

kennyb123,
I understand what you are saying about adding the Sean Jacobs DC4, but it isn't possible to hear it in my system. I don't want to pay $7K for a power supply that I can't hear in my system...

joeinid,

Thanks.

This one change has me reevaluating everything in my system, except my speakers. It took me awhile to change amplifiers, so I'm not in a hurry to change everything. I will try to hear a couple of...

As the M735s continue to break-in, I've reached the point that I no longer think about the break-in process. Everything sounds so good to my ears, I just enjoy the music without a thought of...

I have Monitor Audio PL500 II speakers.

I really like my Antipodes combination. Mark with Antipodes provides truly outstanding customer support.

I heard the M Scaler in my system and I prefer the Dave on its own. The M Scaler made...

Nicoff,

I started the upgrade process a year or so ago. I started by listening to several speakers below $50K. Everything I preferred over my current speakers were close to or over $80K, so I...

Mike,
Thanks for the recommendations. Where do I start with MSB...what base, do I need a reclocker, what about power supplies? Several people have told me to start with the Reference DAC, but that's...

I'm currently using a Chord Dave DAC connected via USB to my Antipodes S30/S40/S60 combination music server. I'm looking for suggestions below $20K to listen to as possible replacements. I'm not...

I have a little over 150 hours on the 735s and I'm totally happy with the change, even if nothing improved from this point. Due to the price difference, I think it's silly to compare the 735s to the...

I just went from a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 to Jeff Rowland 735 mono-amps. It's the best Audio decision I have ever made.

I tried to send you another message, but your box is full.

"Yes and the 735’s are $39k, right?"
Mike I'm not saying the Boulder 1160 isn't at another level compared to the JR 625 S2. I'm simply saying that they are at different price points. I'm not a fan...

Yes, the 735's are $39K. I'm looking at used 725 S2's, not 735's.

Isn't the list price for the Boulder 1160 $33K?

My speakers are Monitor Audio PL500 IIs. When I say more "impact", I'm not referring to bass, but overall improvement. My goal, assuming the recording allows it, is to go to the next level of spacing...

My true dilemma is should I sell my 625 S2 for 725 S2 mono-amps or add two more REL G1 mkII subwoofers(dual stacks of two). Which options would have more impact?

G.
Yes, I already talked to Galen and told him I will purchase the 725s. I have my 625 S2 listed for sale and hope to sell it soon.

Has anyone compared the JR 625 S2 amplifier to the 725 S2 mono-amplifiers? If so, what were the differences?

Just my opinion, not an absolute. I had the opportunity to listen to a Accuphase E-800 today driving a pair of MBL 101E speakers. I've listened to the MBL 101E speakers over 50 times with several...

I think the WW sounds "natural", with a more open/better defined soundstage.
