onhwy61 makes excellent points, which i shan't repeat. i'd suggest, tho, that you also consider one of the accuphase integrateds. i think they better the jrdg but, as noted by mr. 61, you are the only judge whose vote counts (do try to avoid hanging chads).
Rowland Concentra vs ...........
Hi, I've got an all tube system that I love (CJ Premier 12's, Audible Illusions M3a, Sonic Frontiers Phono One, etc) but sometime feel I'd like to have fewer boxes and less overhead of worrying about worn tubes. DO YOU THINK THE ROWLAND CONCENTRA IS ACCEPTABLE TO A TUBE PERSON? Have you heard this amp? How would you describe it? Also, do any of you have any feedback on Rowland Concentra One versus the latest model Two, or the upcoming smaller model? How do these units compare? Finally.. Is the phono stage of the Rowland any good for MC?
thanks!!!
