Rogue pharaoh II or Cronus Magnum III ?

I listened to the pharaoh and I really liked it a lot, maybe just a little cold, but I guess because of the original tubes. I have never heard the magnum but I read very good comments. I decided to blindly buy it for my jbl even though I was left with Pharaoh’s doubts. I hope I have done well. I receive the magnum in a few days.

Did you buy it used or new?

new.

Pharoah no doubt with those were it me. . Unless you mainly listen to acoustic music perhaps.  Some will prefer Cronus and want the tubes.   It’s a judgement call. 

I strongly recommend getting a NOS Mullard 12AU7 for the center tube slot which is the main preamp tube. The stock JJ tubes are bright and not as musical as the Mullard. Best wishes
