Jeff Rowland Sound

Thanks G for the feedback-I just looked at the other amps and had no idea that the pricing goes to 30k;wow!!!!!
have you heard those amps?

I own a JRDG 312 and am in love/lust with it! I wrote a capsule article on issue 188 of The Absolute Sound on the amp, part of a longer article on the Vienna Mahler V1.5 speakers.

The musicality, resolution, and authority of the device is -- at least for me -- truly enthralling. Even at RMAF last week the system containing JRDG 312 was my favorite.

Unfortunately I have not heard the JRDG 301 monoblocks yet. . . perhaps some of these days (sighs!)

FWIW, the pricing for JRDG gear went to $30K+ over a decade ago, with the Model 9ti w/ BPS....Jeff's stuff is good...but not cheap.

Cheers,

John and G have either one of you ever listened to Pass or any Boulder amps;if so how would you compare it to rowland gear? I am just wondering as I have never heard either one.

Rleff, I have heard a few Pass amps, and many of Nelson's older models (Threshold). I also had the opportunity ti hear a Boulder amp at a show (860?) a couple years ago. It may be unfair to compare at a show, but the Boulder was very unimpressive for the cost...clinical sounding, like Levinson gear ...to me at least.

As for SS (I am a Tube fan), I do think that Nelson's designs are about as good as SS gets. I do like the Pass XA-60.5's very much....maybe Nelson's best work since the Threshold SA-12e....
If you want more of the best of Jeff Rowland, you may want to try his Model 8TI.....

Cheers,
John
