Ha. I realized I misspelled it soon after I posted. It's there forever now :) I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences with the Rogue preamps. I didn't realize they all have a phono stage. Was hoping they had a pre without one. I enjoy what my present seperate phono pre can do. Would the RH 5 be a good way to go if I wanted to get my foot in the door? Example, if I didn't enjoy it...the rp7 or rp9 prob wouldn't improve my impressions 2 much? Or are they not even comparable on any level? |
I read this posting with interest. I had recommended Rogue to someone about twenty years ago. It blew a tube shortly after my friend received his… it took out the channel. The owner argued that it was not covered by warranty… the tube did it, although it was only a month old. I was humiliated. So, I do not normally comment on Rouge. But this chain is not much of an endorsement.
I would look at an Used Audio Research preamp. They are world class, and if you are spending $5K, you should get something really outstanding. Built like a tank, ready for a lifetime of outstanding performance. Look at ARC Referebce 3 or higher. |
@ghdprentice although the unit was nice, I say I have to agree with you |
@ghdprentice thank you for your candor & recommendation Audio Research is no joke. May have a hard time finding one in the same price range as rp7... |
