Hegel vs Rogue

I compared the Rogue Pharaoh and Hegel H360 in my home for a few months. I use ATC SCM40 v2 speakers. I found that the Hegel was over damped for my speakers. 

I'm very happy with the Pharaoh and Siemens tubes but I'm trying to find a Class A amp that will give me the tube sound without relying on scares NOS tubes.

I still own my Rogue Sphinx v1 and it was great with my Ryan R610 speakers and NOS Mullards. I would only get the Sphinx if you have slightly forgiving speakers. The component/build differences between the Sphinx V1 and Pharaoh really show up on the ATCs. The Cronus Magnum II which I owned for a year is far better than the Sphinx in my opinion. 

I have both a hegel h360 and a cary sli80. .I go back and forth between the two and find I love the sound of both of them although I find the cary is a better listening experience when it comes to vinyl. .as far as a good dac I own a rega dac and love the organic analog sound I get from it..and you can find used one's for a bargain. Both amplifiers you're looking at are quality audio gear but it comes down to price and budget. Best of luck.

Not sure it is in your budget, but I would recommend the new Hegel H360. . If you would like better control of bass response, this amp provides high damping and a very good DAC. They are available used for very reasonable price given the performance and build quality of this amp. Good luck.

Not specifically related to the OP's question/topic, but fwiw, just purchased a Hegel cdp4a CD player and find it eminently enjoyable.  My first experience with the brand.  Excellent build quality, very organic, almost analog sounding. Captivating!   I prefer it to other players I've owned: Audiomeca, Marantz, NAD, 
Jungson. Great sounding product.  

I spent time auditioning the hegel h160 vs the h360 on spendor speakers and I liked the 160 a lot. I did not hear in that room in that system over two visits a difference to go for the 360. If you were doing maggies or other power hungry speakers perhaps it would make a difference but I could not hear it.
