Jeff Rowland Preamps

In the 90's I owned the Consummate Preamp, I sold it and I missed the later Designs. A few times I listened to Synergy Preamp at Demos but at that time there were so many different Rowland amps launched it was hard to say what was really going on. From my memory I think, in the 90's the Rowland sound was unique compared to others, what is going on today? Question to - current or former - Owners, what's your opinion about the Preamp models you use?

I just recently replaced my Consumate with the new Capri 2. This preamp is playing through the 625 amplifier. Big improvement in sound especially in the treble region. I am using the Parasound JC3 phono preamp playing through the Capri for my analog source, also an excellent match.

Butler, My hearing has also droped off through the years, I listen to classical music often and the lower treble region is where I notice treble to be slightly fuzzy or grainy, and sometimes even aggresive, in most recordings. The addition of the Capri 2 has improved this region, the combination of the 625 amplifier and the Capri 2 are one of the best sounds I have had in this room that I have been in for 20 years, that includes some very expensive components.
