Jeff Rowland Design Group Capri S2-SC and Model 125 | REVIEW

August 29, 2021 Marc Phillips 4

The Jeff Rowland Design Group Capri S2-SC preamplifier and Model 125 amplifier are soooooo tiny. How tiny are they? When the boxes arrived at my front door, I said “This can’t be right. These boxes […]

Audiovector R 6 Arreté Loudspeaker | REVIEW

January 8, 2021 Dave McNair 5

Chario Constellation Cygnus Loudspeakers | REVIEW

January 2, 2021 Dave McNair 2

Hi-Fi reviewers like reviewing products that sound good to them. I’m no exception. If I can’t hear a component before actually getting it, I’m always a bit leery. So it was a welcome and pleasant […]
