Jeff Rowland Model 1 info


Hi everybody,

does anybody know if there's any (electrical) difference between the first and second series of the Jeff Rowland Model 1? In general, is there a difference between the black face units and the silver face ones? Thanks.

This is really interesting! I have one M1 that is around SN 1450 and runs pretty hot - but can keep my hand on it when running. I have another that is around SN 1250 and runs much hotter and I can barely keep my hand on it. They are both running in bridged mono config. You have me wondering if the lower SN amp is actually running in bridged mono, though? I must say that the system sounds pretty stinking good though! I guess I should pop the tops on these and see if I recognize any of the internals you described.
I just bought a model 1 on AudioGoN and will report here as to how it works out. My plan is to eventually get a second one and run the pair bridged.
Early on in my listening to the Rowland Model One - but WOW! Air and detail to spare and smoother and much better bass on my speakers than my proceed amp 3 (not bad either though). Using a heavily modified Kenwood Kt-7500 tuner as my main source (see http://www.fmtunerinfo.com). This is the best component in my system and plays very well via the Rowland.
