Whats the word on Jeff Rowland pre-amps?

I am interested purchasing JRDG 201 mono blocks. At the present time I have a Concentra-1 and want to move on to separates. At first I was just going to use the pre-amp section in the Concentra but don't know if I would get the full benefit of the 201s. I would like your opinions out there on the Synergy and new Concerto pre-amps since the dealer in town does not carry them. I know Rowland amps are great, but are his pre-amps at the same level? Anyone have any experience with the John Tucker Exemplar pre-amp? Any other suggestions for a pre-amp would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am not familiar with current JRDG preamps, but have had many of their past designs amps (1, 2 and 8) all driven thru either a Consonance or a Coherence preamp (agreed with Raquel here).

I would consider the new Rowland Sinergy preamps in your case, design considerations play heavily in JRDG setups in my experience.
