Jeff Rowland Capri preamp


Has anyone heard Jeff Rowland's new preamp, Capri, or know anything about it? It looks pretty interesting: http://www.jeffrowland.com/CapriPreamp.htm

If no-one is familiar with this particular model, any comments on Jeff Rowland's preamps in general?

Thanks.

I miss my Syngery IIi (one of those components you shouldn't have sold...).... Looks pretty amazing, plus Rowland released a another high end preamp at CES.

The Display and volumn adjustments are amazing on Rowland Equipment!(The Placette Active has the same positive stepped style but the Rowland has the nice display...) The other amazing thing about Rowland preamps is they have no hum or other power problems... I have had 4 other brands (other than my Theta and placette) which have hummed because of power problems even with a balanced conditioner and dual ground rods...

Rowland equipment has that smooth tube presentation without but with the bloom and amazing lower bass attenuation. Build quality is amazing...
Thanks for the response. The preamp will be paired with a pair of Channel Island Audio D-100 monoblocks, fed by a Cyrus CD8x cd player. The Cyrus is a very good cd player but can be a little bright if paired with the wrong equipment. Your description of the Rowland preamp as smooth and tube-like sounds like it fits the bill.
The Rowland will be the smoothest Solid State amp you can buy without the hassel of tubes, and will provide the best dynamics and amazing soundstaging. Plus it is a truely balanced component which is noise free!!
Cytocycle - Do you know what the cost of the new high-end preamp is? Thanks
