The best advice ANYONE can give you is to go listen for yourself. 99 people out of 100 might tell you that A is better, but guess what? You might be #100, who prefers B! Personally, I prefer the Jeff Rowland, but that should mean nothing to you. I am constantly amazed that people are willing to spend 1, 5, or 10 thousand hard earned dollars on an amp they've yet to hear. Or enter it into a competition with a product that sounds quite different. How is that possible? Is it just a status thing, to own a Rowland or a Levinson? I could never fathom dropping that much cash on an amp without a detailed, exhaustive audition. Even if the closest dealer was a day's drive away, I'd do it. It would only be $15 in gas. But if the amp was a product I hated, I'd be out the money, and now would be faced with the problem of unloading it. And I'd still be longing for an amp to make me smile. Go out and listen. Then see which one is better(for you)!
