Jeff Rowland Capri preamp

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

The new double chassis rowland preamp is reported to cost $15k unfortunately..

Rowland stuff,sometimes,is criticised(wrongly,IMO).These products are built to heirloom standards,and hold up very well as to sound.Also,Jeff is a class act!
