rowland 102 reviews? ice powered

I used to own two pairs of Rowland 201s. One pair powered my Goldmund speakers and the other pair powered my passive subs. They are very fine sounding amplifiers with all of the attributes listed above. Today I have different speakers and I use a Red Wine Audio Signature 30 amplifier. It is a TriPath design and competes with or surpasses anything else available today whether tube or SS. I'm sure most of you reading this will simply dismiss it as impossible but I would urge you to seek out reviews, check the Red Wine website and look up the user comments on other forums such as Audio Circle.
It has a DACT volume control and can be used as a single input integrated amp. If you want multiple inputs, Red Wine makes an input switcher. You will be very surprised to see how affordable state of the art has become.

Tab110s: I have the Reflection Audio OM-1 Quantum "New Model" which contains Naked Vishay resistors but I'm not familiar with the "nv" designation.

I have used the 201 monos and found them to be very neutral and revealing. They will give you what they are given. They are awsome amps! But they will reveal any shortcomings in your system. If your system is up to par, they one of the best SS amps you can buy.

Pal, have you tried to audition up the Rowland chain. . . 501, 312? If you like the 201. . . G.
