Jeff Rowland Capri preamp


Has anyone heard Jeff Rowland's new preamp, Capri, or know anything about it? It looks pretty interesting: http://www.jeffrowland.com/CapriPreamp.htm

If no-one is familiar with this particular model, any comments on Jeff Rowland's preamps in general?

Thanks.

What's the deal with only 5 inputs though? You would think with all of the components people can have today a preamp should have at least 6 if not more.
i had the pleasure of borrowing a Capri pre-amp for about two months now with the contention of probably buying it.
Like most posters rowland is smooth and tube like--yup, thats the sound. No grain.

the build quality is like a tank. the remote control is great.

Soundwise, i couldnt complain. Its tubelike though its still not tubes. Its on the warm side of things similar to tubes.

I love its gain since it has 100 steps.

Matching with power amps is no problem. I'm currently auditioning it with the Jeff Rowland Model 102 power amp.
Just a tip for the Rowland 201,501, and probably the 102's. Make sure to put about 400hrs on them before you become critical and don't turn them off at the back. They really open up starting at the 400hr mark and get better all the way to the 800hr mark.
