Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC

Thanks, but I think I am about to take the plunge. Will let you all know. R

rinpoche,
I which I could say something to reassure that you're going to be happy with Jeff Rowland, but I can't. Components are very personal, so you never know. In my system the 625 S2 is by far the most musical amp I've ever had.  After 30 years in this hobby that's the best compliment that I can give. Unfortunately,  it doesn't mean you will feel the same. Best of luck to you. 

I will let you know. I am looking forward to finding out. THANKS

Rinpoche,
I am writing down my prediction as follows :- SWCRABVHWI.
Let's see what happens.  Good luck!

Hi Ricred1,
In some systems to certain listeners  the Gryphon will be preferred to the Rowland.  Change the listeners and or the system and suddenly the Rowland is deemed the superior amplifier. In the realm of upper tier transistor power amplifiers both stand tall. If I've learned one thing about audio system assembly it is that synergy is a real and major factor.
