Jeff Rowland Sound

Fair enough, but it is worth pointing out that JRDG Model 2 was introduced 15 years ago in 1994 and was withdrawn in 1999. . . conversely Pass X30.5 has been out only for a much shorter spell, and is current production. Unfortunately technology, and with it sound reproduction, does evolve. G.

I have to agree with JMCgrogan2 that the sweet spot of Jeff's line were the 2/6/8 and 9s. My model 8 with choke is IMHO far warmer than the later class D amps.
I have compared this amp to several ss amps and the only other ss amps that I could live with at all were the Symphonic Line amps. In an 'AB'in my system with the mono Levinson 436's, the group preferred my 8 in all areas!

Daveyf, With which JRDG class D amps have you compared your Model 8? Guido

There's never a rowland thread without guido.

Where's Dave, the other cheerleader?

He's sweeping up and taking out the trash down at Soundings where Rod Tomson is working on the super master set and forget speaker density and retrieval system Mark V, Revision II. Dave'll be back soon. He's breaking in a new broom. Only 327 more hours and it will be able to exhibit the purity, majesty and clarity of the Soundings cleanup in full throat.

Guido and Dave seem to be great people but I have to agree about the relentless promotion. I love my Rowland stuff.
