I have their Ares Magnum Phono preamp. It is amazing.
Contact Robin Wyatt as he is a Rogue Rep, is good friends with the product designer and knows the products inside and out.

I bought a Rogue RP-7, summer of 2020, to replace a Canary Audio C630 tube preamp. Reason being I had purchased a Decware Torii Junior, and whereas I very much enjoyed the liquid sound, just couldn’t push output beyond 90dB at listening distance, with 92dB Focal Aria 936 speakers, using a Canary Audio C630. Canary Audio, 9dB max gain, output impedence 1,600 ohms, Rogue Audio 14dB max gain, output impedence 500 ohms. I thought the RP-7 would blow the C630 out of the water. But even turning volume up to 80-90%, I could barely hear the music, 50-60dB. What? I am still perplexed by this result, and ended up returning the RP-7, at a 20% restocking fee (thanks HiFi Heaven!), and selling the Decware unit, buying a PrimaLuna. Very happy with the sound of the Canary preamp, just needed more watts in the power amp. Any comments on the results based on specs for these preamps? I obviously am not an electrical engineer. |
@jaudio1 yeah. I'm upgrading my whole system... I started about 7 months ago but Because of supply chain issues and me being stubborn with what i wanted...everything is just now starting to come together at once. 6500 is more i can spend when theres already appx 12-13000 being spent in a short period of time. I did get an offer for a 07x...but its the 2015/2016 version and the dealer was asking 3k. If it was 2019/2020 I'd jump on it...I just haven't heard of any comparisons of the before and after Coda upgrad in 2019. I went down a quick rabbit hole of audio research and found a ref 5e for appx 6500(probably negotiate it down) and ls28 for 4800(also negotiable).
