Rowland's new integrated amp

Just look at this monster. Does any of you want it? I think, Jeff is now catering to a..hmm..new kind of audiophile. No wonder some people chase his older designs and couldn't care less for this digital age devices.
Unless I want to blow someone's brains out with soundwaves, which is unlikely, I don't need it.

Yes. They were Lawrence speakers and the combo sounded great as did the Soundsmith room. My two favorites at the NY show. Hope they bring it back to nyc next year.

Hello All, I was long hoping to evaluate the Rowland Daemon Superintegrated amp. Finally, a review unit was delivered on February 28th. I Started break-in the following day, and have been scribbling my listening notes since… The writing project will continue for at least a few months, until the integrated has stabilized, and I have exercised several of its many input and output options. I have been waiting for a long time for this 99Lbs single box critter. Daemon is Jeff Rowland’s integrated flagship. The DAC + Preamp + 1500W/8 (2500W/4) dual-mono power amp in a single 17.5" x 15.25 x 9.5" chassis is already sounding amazing after just a little more than a couple  hundred hours of break-in.

  

Learning about Daemon is being a fascinating experience… join me to chat about it around its new Audiogon watering-hole:

And, feel free to PM me with any questions about it.

 

Saluti, Guido
