A Taiwanese company, Murano-Audio, offers various monoblocks based on the ICE modules. There model- P1000S Plus uses the current revision of the 1000ASP module with a Lundahl input transformer. This is very similiar
to the Rowland 501 mono amp,although the Murano's transformer is shielded/covered. I have listened to 2 different pairs of Murano P1000S
& both the JRDG 501's & 201's. About the only 2 main differences are the chassis design & build and the pricing. The P1000S & the 501's both sound quite identical & both very good. The P1000S has an attractive, nicely done chassis & the Rowland aluminum machining is state-of-the-art
classy. The bottom line: Murano's @ $1798.00/Pair - Rowland's @ $6900.00/Pair. I'm heading over to the Murano Audio online store (US)...
