Rowland 8 Ti hc and Rowland 12


Let's be frank .
Is the 8 better than the 12.
How JR can come up with an amp that would not sound (at least) as musicaly as good..
What is it that is so nice about this 8Tihc that we cannot find in a new 12 or even a 10?

thanks for your confidence angela, but, no, you go ahead. i'll post a follow up. promise.
I don't know nuttin' about the new JRDG gear (just hear say :-), but no personal experience). I only have experience with the old stuff. Sorry, Odiomuse, someone will come along who knows something, I'm sure. I am a fan of the old stuff, tho. Regards,
As far as I know the biggest difference between the 8TiHC and the Model 12, Model 10 is the power supply. The Model 10 and 12 both use ultra-fast switched mode power supplies while the Model 8TiHC uses conventional toroidal power supplies. I am not sure what if anything has changed on the amp board. JRDG over the phone told me that the Model 12 would sound similar (relative term) but better than the 8TiHC in that the Model 12 would be more dynamic and faster. I have not confirmed this by listening so this is purely JRDG marketing speak. – Cheers, Dan
