VTL 7.5 S3 vs Jeff Rowland Corus with PSU

Currently  own the Jeff Rowland Corus with larger PSU power supply and am considering a VTL 7.5 S3 preamp. Anyone hear both and able to comment if this would be an upgrade or side step. Speakers are Wilson Sasha DAW with Krell FPB 300c.

I don’t dislike the Rowland preamp but it seems VTL is always pairing up with Wilson so just wondering if the VTL 7.5 S3 would be considered an upgrade to the Jeff Rowland Corus. Considering the system.

Thanks,  good to hear the VTL is a good match. Heard 6.5 gives you 90% of the 7.5s3 for a lot less money

Have you heard the Jeff Rowland with the optional PSU power supply.

do you think I will lose some of the quality lower midrange  and bass definition if I switch from The Rowland preamp to the VTL 7.5?

I believe the PSU sells for 7-8k separate but not sure exactly. I bought mine together

I will be auditioning the 7.5 s3 in my system in the future and comparing to the Rowland. I may be wrong but  my thoughts are that the bass will be better with the Rowland than the Tube preamp. I’ll keep you posted when I hear it.
