Rowland 112 vs. Model 10

I've read the web site concerning these two amps and it appears that they are very similar accept the 10 uses a separate power supply chassis. Also, in a review of the 112, the reviewer stated that it did not have "the Rowland sound" to the same degree as the 10 and that this "was not necessarily a bad thing." I'm considering buying one of these and would be interested in knowing the sonic differences from some of you who've had first hand experience. Thanks.

The 10 has a switching power supply offering (they say) much better regulation than the linear supply in the 112 (in other words, it's not just that the supply is in a different chassis). I have poor power in my building, so I went with the 10 since it is easier for a switching supply to deal with that, and it has worked very well for me.

FWIW, the advent of their new 302 & 201 amps mean it may be a very good time to pick up a used 10 or 112 from someone with upgrade fever. Then you can check it out with relatively little risk.
