Thinking Hybrid Integrated.

@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. 

@whitefishpoint1175 The pre section in the Pharaoh is probably the same or similar to the RP-7 pre. Here is a link I found to be useful in exploring replacement tubes. The stock JJ’s are not the best for me in my system.

With a name like WhitefishPoint I assumed you were somewhere in the Great Lakes region. Anyway, I might just check that out for myself.

@markmuse Thank you for the information.

Yes I am for part of the year in Michigan Spring, Summer, Fall and spend my Winters in Destin FL. 

Good choice on the Rogue ,  it's good stuff!!!   Enjoy
