Rogue's new Sphinx integrated. Anyone audition it?

Rogue Electronics has just released a new integrated amp called "the Sphinx" Retail is $1295. Remote is $100 extra(which is a stupid policy) It is a 100RMS, and has a few useful features like an MM phono stage and balance control, headphone jack. Some of Rogue's past, and still current pieces have received very good reviews. I would be interested to hear from memebers who have auditioned this new IA, and how it compares to other IA under $2000. Thanks

Passet02, Did you sell the Sphinx yet, I'm interested. Do you have the new Rogue integrated, the Pharaoh, or have you heard it yet?

I would also be interested in the Pharaoh. I haven't been on the Rogue web site and had no idea this was shipping so soon. There's a possibility this integrated could find a room at my place. The price is right, that's for sure.

Using there Metis Pre/Amp and I am going to have it possible upgraded to the Magnum issue, but hard to do since I like the sound so much. I use to have some really high end Musical Fidelity gear but with 3 young kids not much time to listen so I am looking for a budget piece that sounds nice.

Passet02 what color did you get? Black or Silver?

Hi. I'm pulling this thread out of the mothballs to see if the past five months have yielded more owners, more opinions, experience, or insight about the Rogue Audio Sphinx. It looks to be a strong candidate for comfortably and coolly driving a 4-ohm load. I'm considering it for my brand new (4-ohm) Magneplanar 1.7s.

Also, if I get this unit I can consolidate 3 components (phono stage, line stage, & power amp) into one, and hopefully offer a single, simple front panel to help my wife feel more comfortable operating the 2-channel rig.
