Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet

Glad to hear the Concerto sounds fabulous. I have B&W 9NTs with Krell CD input. Hope they will be a good match. Mine (Concerto integrated)will arrive in 6 weeks Thanks Street!

concerto or concentra- what are we talking about? the CONCERTO is the new PREAMP from jrdg- anyone heard IT???

French_fries, JRDG makes a preamp and integrated both called the Concerto; the Concentra is discontinued.

my apologies- the concerto pre- was announced 1st. i'd still like to know, since it's a lot newer than the synergy, if the sonics are worse or better- that would be a big dilemma for synergy owners. i myself have m-12 amps which were "supposed" to be some of the best switching amps you could buy- and a lot less money than halcro and even linn. then, jrdg did a "180" with the 301's and 201's. the m-12's still sound phenomenal to me, even though i thought "they" were a little puny. if their girlie-man stuff gets any smaller they'll be competing with i-pods.

In talking with JRDG, I am told the new Concerto pre will be very close to the Synergy IIi but without some of the IIi's features, the Synergy IIi has the advantage of the separate power supply.
