Adjusted the resistance on the phono stage to 100 ohms from 300 ohms. Better I found for a MC cartridge. Getting better all the time. Rogue with vinyl no match with the C2200. C2200 falls way behind on the phono stage. CD/DVD well I think the C2200 is better. Waiting on some White Zombie RCA interconnects which I think may improve the mids on the CD/DVD (McIntosh MVP 871) and the Rogue.
Rougue Audio Perseus up against McIntosh C2200
Got my Perseus today, and been listening to Vinyl all afternoon. Got to say the Perseus kick the crap out the C2200, at least in the phono stage. More open, better imaging, I don't know but it seems better. Selling the C2200 on Audiogon soon plus a MC352 replaced by a Will Vincent ST70 with new Gold Lion KT66 tube. I listened to both pre amps today with the same system and the Rogue sounds better to me at least in the vinyl. Did listen to two CD's and could better, not sure. Did not listen And I just saved a $1000.
