Warm/Musical/Resolving Preamp Under 2K


Looking for a Preamp like the Rogue 99 Magnum, ARC etc...
I have never owned a Preamp. I currently have the Rogue Magnum Tempest which has the Magnum 66 pre section inside. It is very musical and super resolving. The Rogue M120 Monoblocks should be coming in this week and I was thinking of getting the Rogue Magnum 66 or the 99. I would prefer American made products. Thanks

Hey Fujindemon, I appreciate your firsthand experience. I read this month's HiFi+ Review of the 88 and 66 and they just loved the 88 and thought the 66 didn't do it justice! You've just told me the same thing so I guess that's where I'm going to start, with the mag 99.
For the time being I will be borrowing a friends pre so I can wait on the Wadia 301 and decide if I really like the Direct digital volume control that it gives me. If the 301 fills the void nicely, I will just be in need of a good pre for the Tuner, which is one of my main sources. As you can see my situation needs some balancing... please help
I second the motion on the Blue Bircle BC3 - these things can be unreal! Make sure you listen to a BAT 3vki (or 5vki) also.
