Jeff Rowland Design Group Coherence preamplifier & Cadence phono stage

The Jeff Rowland Design Group has long been renowned for the exquisite quality of its chassis. The company was one of the first to promote fully balanced topologies in preamplifiers and amplifiers in the high-end market, one of the first to offer a sonically acceptable remote control, and one of the few to offer a battery power option for their amplifier line.

I suppose that most high-end designers dream about making a Statement Product&mdash;their best effort, without regard for price. <A HREF="http://www.stereophile.com/interviews/767">Victor Khomenko</A>, majordomo of Balanced Audio Technology, got the bug and came up with the VK-50SE. This <I>hugely</I> full-functioned line-stage preamp derives its Special Edition (SE) moniker from the eight hot-running, super-hush-hush Russian 6H30 Reflector SuperTubes that populate the circuit board.

Pass Labs X1000 monoblock power amplifier Measurements

Pass Laboratories' X amplifier series represents the efforts of designer Nelson Pass to prove that simple linear amplifier topologies can be scaled to provide high-quality audio performance at <I>very</I> high power levels. The handsome X1000 monoblock under scrutiny here, the largest and most powerful amp in the Pass stable, makes 1000W into 8 ohms and a mighty 2000W into 4 ohms. The amplifier has no global negative feedback, and only two gain stages: the front-end provides all the voltage gain and feeds a high-current follower stage.
