Any Rogue Zeus Owners Out There? What Preamp?


I am considering the Rogue Zeus tube power amp and heard that the Rogue M99 preamp works well. I heard the 99 preamp in another system back a few years and thoguht that it sounded fine for the money but I would have liked a better sound, kind of bright compared to some other preamps I heard and not as magical in the mid range for a tube preamp as I would prefer. But I have never heard the combination of the Zeus with this preamp.

If you have the Zeus, what preamps did you try and if you have heard the Zeus at a dealer or somewhere, what preamp was the beast mated to?

Thanks and Happy Listeing.

The Magnum version of the 99 should be noticably better than the "stock" version. I haven't heard them, but have read about them, and the Magnum versions (of the amp and preamp) are always liked much more.

I think HiFi+, excellent British mag, did a nice review of the Magnum separates a while back.

Not much help....but I hope some.
I'm using the Rogue Magnum 99 with NOS Sylvanias from Rogue.

I've had the Zeus for a day and listened to it for about six hours. So far, so good. But these are early impressions as you can see.
Hello
I use the Zeus through a TacT RCS peamp and am getting super results at the moment. In effect it is actually outputting a digital signal from the bnc connector into the RCS and then receiving it back - processing the signal through its STARS DAC. Good results to date but need to keep playing with the room correction system a bit more.
