Hi,

I also would like to know how JRD's new ICE module based designed amps sound compared to high quality tube amps like CAT JL-2, c-j Premier 140, Cary V12R or Quicksilver triodes (these amps are on my audition list).

Thanks!
I may not be of help here, since my experience have been with the older Rowland amps and ML (1, 2, 8 and 23.5, 27, 20.5 respectively), but anyway... hope it helps.

Rowland amps were more polite and excelent reproducing midrange (voices and string instruments for example), great construction and POO.

Levinson amps were more dynamic and gutsy, also very musical but more "crude" than the forgiving JRDG amps.

Both great chioces.
