27 years of building superb amplifiers in Colorado. I enjoy the smallest of his creations Model 102 dreaming about Model 625 in the future. I've also heard that he is a classy guy.
Jeff Rowland tour fascinates
I had the pleasure to meet and tour Mr. Rowland's longtime facilities in Colorado yesterday . As the owner of his very latest gear I already had a sense of the unparalleled build and sound quality of his gear but found the most impressive item to be his personal attention to every facit of his company. For instance if you buy a JRDG unit it has been personally engineered and assembled by him. My overall impression was that his company and gear is akin to what you see from the Swiss among others without the excessive cost of say Dartzeel, which I have owned and greatly admire but is in no way superior to the Rowland gear. Frankly prior to this meeting I had concerns about JRDG because they are a "quiet" company continually moving forward without fanfare. Anyway to close out this thread I must say that his demo using his Aeris dac decoding 44.1 material driving his amps was simply awesome. Truly.. I don't post much and have no agenda at all other than to relay this interesting day to any audiophiles who may be interested. Jeff said that he only wished thatbhe could work less than the ten hours a day plus that he is now enduring. A special company and man I think.
