I have a Rogue Pharaoh hybrid integrated. Have had it for 3 years now and have had zero problems with this unit. It has a tube preamp section. Any tube amp will produce some residue hiss. This type of hiss is so faint in my amp that you have to put your ear up to the speaker to hear it. If you listen to your speakers with your ear up against them, well, I guess you might have a problem.
boband212, I have listened to the amps you talked about and have had the opposite impression. The Rogue Pharaoh will blow that Chinese stuff out of the water....IMHO...lol
