No-one talks about Rowlands anymore


It's Pass all over the place. Is Rowland going down big time or terribly and expensively up?

dballard601  Agree with you....no doubt one of the dumbest thread topics of all time!  

+1 @DBallard601 and @TDimler...


See for example my Rowland Daemon Superintegrated review journal at:

Two thoughts on JDRG:

I can't speak to Rowland's current products, but heard a Coherence 1 Mk2 with the 1,3,5, and 7 in the same system.  Obviously a LONG time ago, but it was just astonishingly good - beautiful to listen to.  I lusted after a Coherence 1 Mk2 with either Model 3s or a Model 5.  No idea if I'd be as impressed today, but it was an awesome experience.
Second:  I used to live within a quarter mile of their building (off of Fillmore in the Springs) in the early 1990s.  Having a day off, I wandered over to the building just to say hello, and Jeff himself took me on a grand tour that lasted a couple of hours.  It was an incredibly wonderful experience - and I'm still amazed that he would take that much time with a young Army lieutenant who was years away from being able to afford anything from his company. 

Hence, I hope he and the company are doing well, an always have my eye open for a C1Mk2/3 or 5 combo that I could afford . . .

A true class act, at least in my experience. 
In case no one has seen this here’s a JR 125 opened up and shown what parts are used. Would love to hear Jeff talk about he designed and implemented it all together.

Anyone compared Rowland 535 to PS Audio BHK 250?

How about Rowland 535 and Capri vs PSA BHK 250 and BHK pre?
