from Audio Systems, Austi Summary:
At the time of purchase it was my single most expensive audio purchase ever. I think that I have experienced a gradual growth in amplifier ownership. This Jeff Rowland is without a doubt the most enjoyable amplifier that I own. I currently have the classic ADCOM 535II, Forte Model-1, and Golden Tube Audio SE-40. All provide excellent enjoyment for the money, and I have felt nothing but pleasure at each level, but this is the first amp, in which I have not wondered what was at the next level. The Jeff Rowland Model 1 has superb build quality user defined utility reliability and most of all it has palpable sonic characteristics. I have paired it with an Audible Illusions L1 Pre-amp, Martin Logan Aerius I speakers, Kimber Kable Silver Streak, Hero interconnects MIT MH-750 Bi-wire Shotgun speaker cable Hsu VTF Sub, and most recently Sony SACD players CE-775 and NS-500. I cannot even begin to explain the satisfaction that this system has given my family and me. This amp compares with Audio Research Classe Plinius Mark Levinson and BAT products. I know that there are super components out there, but at this price range I am in sonic heaven. I highly recommend it on the pre-owned market. Strengths:
Reproduces the music and vocals. You are there in the room. You can feel the heat from the performance. Weaknesses:
None in my application. Similar Products Used:
Mark Levinson Classe, Plinius NAD Golden Tube Audio
