Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
Greg,I'm inclined to agree with you and retract my speculation. Certainly that's how a large concert venue would be set up. If I had some monoblocks instead of an integrated amp - I'd probably have be thinking more along this line. Minimizing cabl... 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
"... and I need 10 ft of ICs between preamp and power amp."So I gotta ask - why do you need 10' between pre-amp and power amp. I think you'd be better off with 2' between your pre-amp and your amp and 10' between your amp and your speakers. Do you... 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
Just out of curiousity, do you think that anyone selling cables has IC designs that would exhibit enough capacitance to grossly affect high end frequency response? Isn't this more an issue for the designer than the consumer? 
Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance
For a twisted pair design, the capacitance and the inductance are a function of the distance between the conductors relative to their diameters and are somewhat inversely related. The closer the conductors the less inductance and the more capacita... 
Review: Jeff Rowland Continuum 500 Amplifier
I've got a Rowland Concerto integrated (250 Watts per channel - no PFC). The manual says to leave the power switch on, but you can turn on the mute to shut down the amp outputs (the pre-amp outs stay active all the time). In speaking with Rowland,... 
Rowland Concerto integrated vs Rowland Capri & 102
Clip from a Soundbytes Newsletter on CES (Winter/2008? - sounds like already happened in the review so maybe last Winter):JEFF ROWLAND: Several new goodies here; first up, the new Continuum integrated amplifier. The new design will be available in...

Where are you getting your info? 
Rowland Concerto integrated vs Rowland Capri & 102
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to check out the Vienna Acoustics.I'm getting the Concerto integrated for $3200. On Audiogon, there's a pair of 201 mono's that just went for $2795. There's a Capri pre-amp up for $2200. $3200 << $4995Could have ... 
Rowland Concerto integrated vs Rowland Capri & 102
Hi - I'm starting a system from scratch, was impressed with Rowland's equipment, and looking at a used Rowland Concerto without ever having heard one. Any thoughts on the Concerto? What speakers and interconnects do you like with Rowland - I've he...
