Jeff Rowland amp owners: What's your pre-amp??


Hello everyone,
I'm looking into purchasing a pre-amp for my Rowland amp, and just wonder what pre-amp you are using for your rowland amps?

I use a Synergy 2i with my Model 10.
Whichever pre you'll choose, get a balanced one.

Happy listening
My goal has always been a fully balanced system. At the minimum, it has given a very quiet system and additional gain.

I have used the Rowland Consummate as well as the BAT VK5 with Rowland amps in fully balanced mode with great success.

If you are using a tube preamp with a solid-state amp, make sure you do not have impedance missmatch. Many tube preamps do not perform optimally with low-impedance amp (10k or less) despite claims to the contrary.
I use a Conrad Johnson 16LS Series 2 with a Jeff Rowland Model 10 amplifier. It's a great match of solid state and tubes.
I'm using an original Coherance One with 201's. I had to have a balanced cable made up with dual RCA's to XLR. I've had the premap for 11 years. My CDP or speakers will be replaced before my preamp.
I am using a EE Mini Max tube pre with my Rowland
Model 10 and it sounds fantastic! I would like to run balanced soon, but not sure what to get. Maybe
a Rowland pre?
