Moving to tubes and have decided to go with one of the above by researching Audiogon forum threads. Comments from those of you that have heard one or both units would be greatly appreciated. I am powering the Cliffhanger Audio CHS-2 W2's.
Clueless, the CHS-2's are 4 ohm and sometimes dip down below that in heavy bass passages. In any case, I have a feeling the Rogue will perform well. Other comments would be greatly appreciated.
I talked to a few ppl who have the Jolida JD1000a and they've told me that there is always a low level hum... Not cool. I'm used to the MF A3 Integrated with choke regulated power supplies, so humming is unknown to me. So the Magnum Tempest it is. Good times :)
The Jolida 1000A is an excellent amp. I have been using it with Sveltlanna EL34s and Real Mullards on the front end pre-amp. The sound is simply delicious. Is there a slight hum? Yeah if you are sitting 8 inches away from it. But if you are like most people I doubt that you would be able to hear any hum at any reasonable distance. Do yourself a favor and take the time to listen. I think that you will answer your own question.
