No-one talks about Rowlands anymore

Yeah, whenever I start a thread about something like Nagra, Gryphon, Lamm etc electronics or Lansche speakers, there is no or very little discussion. I am quite certain that a number of people even in the US are familiar with and some even have those brands, they just don't participate, at least on this forum.
Still, speaking of Rowland, Jeff must be doing something wrong from the point of view of audiophiles not necessarily music lovers. Even older Rowlands are rarely mentioned. This is sad. There are very few American solid state amp brands worthy of audiophile attention. Rowland definitely used to be one of them, and now I am not sure.

$35k D'Agostino integrated is mentioned from time to time, though I haven't seen a discussion. 'Daemon' is probably discussed somewhere but not here. Anyone heard it, by the way?

As someone said in another thread, even very expensive cartridges have average quality diamonds.
I do think Jeff damaged his reputation within audiophile community, but that's not where money is. It is hard to refuse the opportunity to make five times more by selling those still very good sounding pieces to Asian and non-Asian non-audiophiles. Personally, his amps are not on my list. With solid state I would go with either Pass or European brands. I would still consider old 8T, maybe.

It may not matter to me how new Rowlands sound - I don't like his attitude. This is not only about Jeff Rowland, I don't discriminate.
For example, if Ralph of Atma-Sphere keeps self-advertising here like crazy in the middle of the discussions, I'll rule his amps out too.

Still no-one really talks about Rowlands. There are users of any brand, for whatever reasons they have it. There appears to be no interest in this company anymore. 

Doesn't matter to me, anyway. At this level I will go with hybrid or tubes.
