Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
You are right, b_limo... Daemon is beautiful besides sounding divine. I will post today Dropbox links to several photos of the handsome critter courtesy of Lucien Pichette at the Rowland factory.   And were it not for the COVIT19 emergent situatio... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
Thank you @Daveyf for sharing your Black Cat adventure. At my end, Cardas Rweflection signal wires, as well as Cardas Clear Beyond XL create a consistently exceptional synergy with all Rowland components with which I have matched them over the l...

Hello Davey, which Cardas wires have you used on your Rowland gear?G.  e 
Class D is just Dandy!
I auditioned Flying Mole at RMAF several years ago. To say that they sounded utterly uninspiring to me would be a magnanimous instance of audiophilic kindness.Thankfully, even back then there already were phenomenal music makers running in class D... 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
Hi Sam,   in some past, the single box design inherently compromised the performance of an integrated... Just to site an example, a single power supply was mostly used for all subsystems because of size limitations, thus cross-talk and distortion ... 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
Yes, my beloved Rowland M925 monoblocks have been making fantastic music without a glitch since May 2013... For the last few years, I have been feedin M925 directly from an Rowland Aeris DAC,this powered by the Rowland PSU ultra-capacitor-based ... 
Jeff Rowland to what?
Hello All, for me, after Rowland, there is… Rowland J   I was long hoping to evaluate the Rowland Daemon 1500W Superintegrated amp. Could a class D integrated fulfill my yearning for sonic nirvana, or would Daemon leave me pining for the wonde... 
Class D is just Dandy!
@H2Oaudio nailed the crux of the matter on the proverbial head. Like amps of other topologies, some class D amps do sound extraordinary... The Rowland Daemon integrated that I am reviewing is definitely one of these. It is already trending to soun... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
To clarify some of the above, at some point of this project, I would like to:* Contrast the full Daemon output into the speakers to Daemon line-level output into M925 and these into the speakers. Will there be a perceivable difference between the ... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
Hi @Erik_squires, yes Daemon’s power amplification subsystem  runs in class D. Up to now, I have left Daemon running 24/7…. So I am not 100% sure how fast it will return to full performance after, for example a 24 hours or a full week vacation f...

Hello all, as the topic of the Rowland Daemon superintegrated has come up on this thread, in the past, I wanted to give you a pointer to a review thread I have started for it. I was long hoping to evaluate the Rowland Daemon Superintegrated amp... 
Rowland's new integrated amp
Hello All, I was long hoping to evaluate the Rowland Daemon Superintegrated amp. Finally, a review unit was delivered on February 28th. I Started break-in the following day, and have been scribbling my listening notes since… The writing project ... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
All, while Daemon continues to steep and break-in 24/7, here is some more information about this statement-level power-beast:   Daemon is hardly a featherweight: at 99LBS in its machined aircraft-grade Aluminum birthday-suit, the single-chassi... 
Jeff Rowland Daemon – Reviewing The JRDG Superintegrated Flagship Amplifier
Hi all, here is a minor update:   Yesterday evening, at about 160 hours, Daemon dipped into a shallow doldrums cycle… Still transparent, still filled with overtones and ever sweet, Stage had narrowed a little, and bass and authority, while un...
