If I am not wrong, It is tube in pre and SS in power, but integrated amp.
Tube pre + SS power amplifier and you still do not get the tube sound in my opinion.
The tube power is the must if you interested in tube sound.
@whitefishpoint1175 Did you resolve this? Where did you end up? |
@markmuse going to buy domestic and will be ordering a Rogue Audio Pharaoh II Integrated Amplifier. I was down in Nashville this weekend and had the opportunity to hear the Pharaoh II matched with Sonus faber Maxima Amator. And the sound was exquisite. I have the Sf Electa Amator stand mounts and I think will be fine. I also had the chance to hear the Unison Research Unico 90 on the same speakers and was impressed but preferred the Pharaoh. I also got to hear some great local musicians in Nashville. Love that town. |
I can't say enough good things about Rogue, their products, and their customer service. I had a problem with the first RP-7 that might or might not have been caused by a faulty subwoofer feeding DC back into the preamp. They replaced the pre - no questions asked, and even had the dealer I purchased from (The Listening Room - in Maryland) visit my home twice to help sort things out. |
