Listen to a Rogue 99,the SF Line 2 is also a good choice.Dont buy anything you cant Audition in your own set up.
Natalie. Does the Rogue 99 have balanced in/out's? They don't mention that in the spec's at their website.
No balanced inputs or outputs on the Rogue.All single ended.My one gripe with them.Other than that they make an excellent product,very well constructed,and care for detail that some of the more expensive pieces should take note of.Performance of the Magnum series is excellent.You really cannot go wrong with this company.
The conrad-johnson PV10B is an excellent choice around or below your price range, and you even get a tube phono stage with it!
