Jeff Rowland Capri Preamplifier

The stylish Capri is at home in any superior audio reproduction systems, ranging from space efficient setups for modern living areas to sprawling component configurations in large listening environments. Music lovers are choosing Capri over “cost-no-object” preamplifiers, regardless of underlying technology, because this world class preamplifier, created to exacting JRDG standards, delivers years of refined musical enjoyment at a real world price.

Capri Technology

Capri is designed with green technology: It is so cool to the touch that it can be housed in a cabinet with no fear of overheating. A low noise, high-current, regulated switch- mode auto sensing and auto ranging power supply provides Capri with optimum performance at any world-wide mains operating voltage.

The astonishing sonic nimbleness and musical performance of the Capri is made possible by dual TI Burr Brown OPA1632—a fully differential high speed I/O audio amplifier module featuring extreme linearity, super low noise and distortion. As a result, Capri sports the shortest signal path of any JRDG preamplifier ever designed. A fully-balanced architecture, implemented from input to output, maximizes common mode rejection and minimizes signal distortion, eliminating both ground loop noise and EMI.

Capri’s dual-range optically encoded volume control allows a precise gain resolution of 0.5dB, while volume bypass insures compatibility with home theater processors. A quality six-function infrared remote control complements Capri’s front panel operations, while optional phono cards ensure compatibility with vinyl front ends.
