Phono preamp with best mid bass

If your MF truly did not have enough gain, and if the Rogue has more phono or overall gain, then you definitely made a move in the right direction. But you never mentioned your cartridge or the gain factors for either phono, so it’s impossible to say. However, a lack of adequate gain is always a bummer.

It's the Clearaudio Ebony Wood MM. The only setting the MF has is either MM or MC. Honestly I just plugged in the Triton and just played it with the stock settings out of the box. I plan on seeing if there is some fine tuning yet to be done as the unit is pretty flexible. Below are the different settings available on the Rogue unit: 

"Four different gain levels are available (43dB, 55dB, 60dB, 70dB), plus 20, 30, 100, 300, 1K, 47k, 75K, 100K Ohm loading options and 0, 47, 150, 470,1K Picofared loading options. "

You should be good with 43db gain and 47k load with that cartridge. The other pf settings are for capacitance. I would keep that at default or zero. 

Ok guys!!! So 0 static, hum or any other BS up until NOW! When I touch the tone arm static, touch any damn thing high static. Checked grounds all good. Floated the ground on the Triton. Thought it helped for a minute but no same thing. I can actually see the tubes on my tube amp flicker when I touch the tone arm or any of the wires. Pissed! Lol. Gonna screw with it tomorrow but opinions much appreciated! 

I was very happy with the sound then poof! Lol. Think I will drag the damn dresser out check all connections which Im pretty sure are good. Came out of no where . Dead quiet before if that gives any indication. Phono pre got an internal deal? I really dunno?
