Oops forgot to mention that I changed the top plate on my 8. This is a slight improvement over the older sheet plate. It seemed to increase the focus slightly and was definitely better to look at. The rigidity of the chassis is improved and the heat seems to be less.
Jeff Rowland Model 8 - questions
I just bought one of these. I got a great deal and couldn't turn it down. It looks nice, but how does it perform? Does anyone have some good (or bad) information regarding this amp?
It is an early unit, and have never been upgraded. I have read that the earlier designs used choke input, and 320000 uf caps (thats inside mine). Then some modifications were done with the psu. The chokes were gone, and the caps now was 640000 uf.
How much better will it be if I perform a stage 1 upgrade? or stage 3?
Are there any recommendations to preamps? Of course JR will fit well, but I want to use a valve pre (with remote).
Hope anyone are familiar with this.
Best Regards
