Anyone audition the Rowland 201 mono amps yet?

I own them and oh my g-d, vast difference between them and my prior amp (which I love), the VK-500.

Hope this helps what you should be prepared for if you hear them - make sure that they are broken in >300 hours.

Just for info, there is a review of the 301 in the new (March) issue of Stereophile written by John Marks. Based on Rowland's history, I would suspect the sound character of the 301 is very similar to the 201's.
