Jeff Rowland amps, any coments?

I have been using Rowland electronics for over ten years and in my opinion Rowland cannot be beat at the longevity in the enjoyment it brings as well as the emotional response it elicits from the music. I does all the normal audiophile things superbly, and then goes one step further to capture the true magic of music.

I don't agree with the Cardas recommendation. I have had tremendous success with Stealth Cables. In my opinion, Rowland and Stealth is a match made in heaven as they are both true to the music in all critical areas.

I am currently using the Rowland Model 112, which is a tremendous amp for the price (or for any price), while I wait for my Model 12s to return from the factory for repair. Rowland electronics are generally extremely reliable, so don't read anything in to the fact that my amps are back at the factory.

The 12s went back to factory because of failure of the switching power supplies on one and noise from the switching power supplies on the other. The 8 doesn't use switching power supplies.
