No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

It's Pass all over the place. Is Rowland going down big time or terribly and expensively up?

It may not matter to me how new Rowlands sound - I don't like his attitude. This is not only about Jeff Rowland, I don't discriminate.
For example, if Ralph of Atma-Sphere keeps self-advertising here like crazy in the middle of the discussions, I'll rule his amps out too.

Inna, let's all admit it... It does feel  sooo good to lash out indiscriminately in 79 random directions, ain't it?

Ah, but I just remember one more saying... This one by Richard Strauss...


"Do not look at the trombones.... It only encourages them!*

What was / is up with the Rowland room at RMAF 2017 ? They had pedestals with the gear on top with moving turntables to spin the gear around . No sound coming from that room . Thought it very strange .

Hi maplegrovemusic, actually Rowland has at least a triple presence at RMAF....


a full complement of Rowland gear can be heard in the Humboldt room, which is the Nordost suite, powering a pair of Magico speakers, and all wired by Odin II cabling.... There you will hear a linelevel stack formed by the PSU ultra-caps-based power supply feeding an Aeris DAC and a Corus preamp.... These feeding a pair of brand new M535 bridged amplifiers, that deliver some 900W per side into the Magico.


One of the amphitheater-style seminar rooms is powered by the big Rowland Daemon integrated.


Instead, the Rowland suite is kept deliberately quiet, so that audiophiles cam talk in peace with Jeff Rowland, Lucien Pichette, and others.


Hope this helps.


Guido
