Rogers High Fidelity EHF 200 MK2

I've owned one for about 8 months & love it! I bought it directly from Roger Gibboni who is the real deal - very smart & experienced guy.  Rock solid construction, sounds excellent & quite powerful. It does run hot & needs room to breathe. I generally prefer the ultra linear mode of operation but that's probably very room & speaker dependent. Best of luck - I'm confident you'll enjoy it.

Thank you @jonwolfpell I see vents on the top and back of the transformer cage. Does most of the heat come from the top or the back? The rack space will be 13" tall and open on all sides. I have some pictures posted in the system. The rack is pole with spikes style. Are you running any subwoofers with it? I don't intend to use any subs.. I'll share my experience once I get it.. 

Congrats! Post a review after spending some time with it. Not many opinions on these out there, especially the model you're getting. I like Roger's youtube vids breaking down his approach. Cheers,

Spencer

I use the amp with the clear Lexan  cover as I have two very curious cats. Roger claims the amp dissipates better with it but I don’t know about that. Seems like most of the heat is of course on top but also substantial heat going forward from the front as that’s where the tubes are. 

i don’t have my sub connected directly to it as I use the Rogers w/ the theater by pass input ( # 3) for movie watching. I connect my main speakers  only to it for movie watching when I want a truly big theater sound. My sub is connected directly to my Anthem receiver. For music listening I connect turntable / phono amp & DAC ( for streamer & transport) directly to the other inputs on the Rogers & no sub required. Best of both worlds & don’t use up the tube life more quickly than necessary. 

Thanks @sbank I’ll be sure to post my thoughts.. It’ll be delivered on Thursday.. It’s substantially heavy, like close to 60lbs.. I am excited..

@jonwolfpell  if the heat comes mostly from the top, I may not add the shelf above the amp.. Just leave it out in all its glory.. I’ll primarily be using it for two channel music listening.. You had mentioned tube life, so what mode prevents the tube being used as much? Is it just using it as a Preamp or something? Not that I’d be compromising the full listening experience. But just curious.. Movie setup is on a separate setup through Nakamichi and Pioneer Elite, and I have the pass filter turned down to a very low frequency on the SVS.. Trying to save my hearing..
