Jeff Rowland preamps


I currently have the following; Synergy IIi, Rowland 501, 2 x PFC and read with interest here that the new Capri has received positive feedback. Has anyone here compared this with the Synergy IIi which has now been discontinued in terms of sonic performance. With new technology introduced I assume the Jeff Rowland has taken the performance for his preamp upwards. I'll have to ignore the flagship Criterion as this is wayyyy out of my budget.

Hello guys!
I have a Krell FPB-200c amp being driven by a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 pre. I'm scouting for a JRDG preamp now to pair with this because a Krell pre is extremely hard to come by here (i don't want overseas items unless i get them personally).

Replacing an ARC Ref3 with a Capri tells about this toy's capability ;-) so i will be scouting for that. Any other suggestions for my setup?

Best wishes guys!

well said, guido.
and thanks for your answer to my question.

it is hard to come by used JRDGs here in Manila because owners just REFUSE to part with them (like us Krell owners refusing to let go of ours).

i asked our local JRDG dealer to look around for me.
i am tempted to try Audiogon but i am a bit concerned about some stories i heard about getting bad products (DOAs); and then there's the shipping & handling costs PLUS taxes that i have to contend with :-|

you guys are fortunate because this fine product are practically just by your doorsteps :-)

regards!
