I have heard the Rowland 302 with a Wadia front end, Cardas cables, and on Avalon Eidolon Diamonds. I have also heard the same system with a BAT VK - 150SE, Levinson 335 and 336, and Classe' CA 400. The Rowland 302 BY FAR mathces the perfect balance of detail, transparency, musicality and warmth, and ambient retrieval. It is very musical and warm, but more detailed than the Levinson! In fact, I thought it was more musical and tube like than the BAT gear. The 302 is a great amp, a new benchmark in my opinion.
Heard the New Jeff Rowland 302 Power Amp?
I am looking for someone with first hand experience with hearing the new Rowland 302 power amp. I am looking for a warmer sounding but natural sounding power amp with detail, bass definition and extened frequiences. I was looking into the Rogue Zeus or maybe the new Rowland so that I don't have to consider replacing tubes.
Thanks and Happy Listening.
